crazy stuff

Apparently Jim Sterling is writing games now. Joking aside I did enjoy Electronic Super Joy quite a lot. Good soundtrack and pacing with a decent sense of humour. Never did bother get past that level where it flips 90 degrees though.

Should I get CIV V without the DLC on the gamersgate deal or get the CIV IV complete edition for the same price?

Do both of them have an active online community or maybe I should just wait for a complete edition of CIV V on discount?

That last gobbo would stand there, missing an arm, punctured in a kidney, liver, and spleen, fading in and out of consciousness at the far end of where the drawbridge would go, and his last sight would be the drawbridge dropping down and smashing him like a bug.

God DAMN I love this game!

If you really want Civ V you need it all.

Just a note if you are thinking of picking up Civ IV, the recent update to move the multiplayer connectivity from the now-dead gamespy over to steamworks has removed the direct ip connection option which has apparently broken a few things that relied on it.

Some guys are giving away GMod codes for steam apparently, does it count?

Nevermind there's a survey to take. That will teach me.
It makes you download what seems to be a text file, presumably with the codes on it.

Steam has Stardock weekend. GalCiv 2, Fallen Enchantress and Sins of a Solar Empire along with their DLC's at a decent discount. Also a few other titles that say nothing to me.

Wasnt Fallen Enchantress that Master of Magic clone? 

Didn't it get awful reviews, and the developer ended up badmouthing the fans, and a bunch of other crazy nonsense?

Elemental: War of Magic may be what you're thinking of.  Fallen Enchantress was a sequel/remake, but it generally got better reviews and is considered to have continually improved with patches and dlc to the point that the current incarnation is a favourite among some (many?) 4x players.

Yeah. Elemental was garbage, to the point that the developer gave all of the early adopters of Elemental Fallen Enchantress for free as a Apology. I like Fallen Enchantress, it's fun. It's not a true replacement for MoM in my opinion, but it is fun.

The game on sale is actually Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes, which is an improvement on Fallen Enchantress. Which itself was an improvement on Elemental. Based on an RPS article I read it sounds like they made something worth while third time around.

As a kid I helped beta-test their OS/2 games including the REAL Galciv 1 and 2, Trials of Battle, and some other great games that have died in obscurity.  Brad Wardell did dev-commentaries back then, too.  He particularly took a lot of pride in the AI work, in an age where TBS AIs were universally moronic and cheated like crazy on any difficulty above normal.  Some things never change :P

I lost touch when they moved to Windows, except for Entrepreneur (which is now, what, The Corporate Machine?).  I don't know anything about the Elemental fiasco, or even whether the new Galcivs are much good.  I just remember that in the time of Civilizations and Master of Orion, they made a far better TBS for a dying platform.

I did play Sins of a Solar Empire and had fun with it, it's very pretty and the interface is good for a RTS with that kind of scale.  I tried Galciv 1 (Windows) but it wasn't innovative, just good, so I dropped it for Alpha Centauri's unique TBS mechanics and setting.

Age of Wonders Shadow Magic is my go-to Master of Magic remake.  I hear AoW2 has small HoM&M-style battles, kinda like Fallen Enchantress from what I can tell.

Not only did Steam add Freespace 2 into their library today but they also put it on sale for 5€. This makes me happy.

Isn't that the freespace with the opensource project related to it?
