Not sure if this oughta be in a seperate thread, but turns out that after putting Subversion on hold, this is what Introversion has been working on.

More tidbits here.

Could be interesting provided it's complex enough, I'd say.

I'm certainly buying it, even if all the critics say it's a trainwreck. I'm a huge fan of Introversion.

Maybe it's parasitic. It never loses its flavor because you eventually die from having your nutrients stolen by it.

Multiwinia looks like wicked fun, but runs on the slow side on my netbook :(

Defcon is satisfying enough, though. And it's simplicity and graphical paucity makes it easier to get into the gist of the game without being distracted by fancy graphics  and the like.

If you have headphones, wear them whenever you play DEFCON. It becomes infinitely more atmospheric and awesome. This is assuming that you have high quality headphones thou, some cheap in-ears won't do probably.

So it's time I played Uplink again, and this time I managed to destroy Revelation.

Those ungrateful Feds then tried to trace me, so I had to nuke my computer.

Also, ARC has managed to make version 3 of Revelation, so it's able to defeat Faith version 3. But it was never released, and I only had Revelation version 1 in my gateway, so I can't spread revelation on my own, I looked around all of ARC's servers, and there is no copy of Revelation v3, I guess the Feds were thorough in their virus deleting.

Nevertheless, Revelation v1 is a great way to delete a single computer system.

My Uplink that I got from the Humble Bundle recently is acting weird. Every time that I shut the game off it forgets all my stored user names and passwords (except, interestingly, obsolete admin passwords). It even forgets my username and password for the Uplink Internal Services server. Having to recreate an account for every bank every time I shut the game down is off-putting, to say the least.

Is it supposed to be like this? Does anyone know how to fix it?

Same here but the feds have left me alone. The last story mission is so tense.

Something is wrong with the game trying to save its stuff, probably.

Read-only mode on some folder or file, perhaps?

Well, what do you know. Turns out steam flags all folders of the /steamapps/common folder as read only for whatever reason. Thanks for the help!
