If Wurm is half as good as Quinn says, I will lol in my pants. First impressions: Long download time.

Dave L.: Goddamn it, I can’t forget away that now. I can’t not imagine it.

Alpha Centauri’s view of you as the player is interesting. It’s very ivory tower, giving you hints of the horrors of living on Planet but never really exposing you to them visually. Edge’s piece on it a while back noted that it had a level of detachment between you sending mindworms like a board game piece into a city and the assumed results on the ground. In some ways, this works with the way the narrative works, in that even in a democracy you are still a revered autocrat with a kind of cult of personality.

Re: story-driven RTS games I really, really should have mentioned that bit of the Ground Control expansion that Jim always raves about- on one level you finish the mission and as the End of Level Dropship comes down (same as it always does) it gets blown out of the sky and you have to keep fighting with your world turned upside-down.

Deutros is a game I always wanted to play, but never worked on my model of the Amiga back in the day. It got some ridiculously glowing reviews – 95%s.

Deuteros sounds /awesome/, I really really want more games like that! I’m so sick of dull strategy games without secrets.

Dave: If we can ever grab Quinns for a podcast again, we should go down to a railway track to do it.

That Deuteros game sounds interesting. Hopefully someone will nick the concept and whack it in a modern game.

Not to continue the ‘Quintin’s got a sexy voice’ trend, but he sounds a hell of a lot like Dominic West (note: I am currently suffering from an ear infection).
Through the whole thing I was stuck with the image of Kieron and Alec hanging out talking games with McNulty.

Quinns has the good kind of posh voice, like James Lance. He sounds like he has curly hair.

Welcome to Montreal! I think the number of pot holes will be a bigger shocker than driving on the other side of the road.
