Finally bought this, its genius. Shot in the cock indeed. (And, in case the good gentlemen

But; good people of RPS, I am really effin’ stuck with the boot disk. I know all the data (I think) but it just tells me I did it wrong. Can’t find a walkthrough that gives what exactly I have to type in and I NEED MORE. Are there any trips? Do I have to type, e.g., “42″ rather than “v4.2″ as the version #, cus it gives vX.X as the format?

Or am I just doing something stupidly wrong? (This, I guess, would be hard for people to gauge.)

I bought this the other day as a game for my netbook in prep for the month-and-a-half I have here in Kiev. Thing is, I added the same amount again as a donation for Ben There, Dan That – the way I saw it, I was happy to pay six bob for these. That half price is just ludicrous (and more fool me for not yet changing my PayPal email to one that I ever bother to check…)

But, hooray for sensible (well, really mad pricing in this case – but the right end of the mad pricing spectrum) priced indie games. I’m getting a bit annoyed by the occasional announcement of a mildly intersting but short indie game being flogged online for over 15 quid. I don’t even pay that much for major games, I wait until retail goes down. Thing is, online game prices don’t ever seem to drop with age

I’ve gotten more fun and playtime out of this game than DoW II ($50 USD) and Empire: Total War ($80 AUD).

But I’m a bit weird and I’m shit at strategery.

Damn! I just checked and it’s back to $5.

…

I guess I’ll buy it anyway.

I will buy anything that is less than the price of a pint.

I tend to only install things when I intend to use them.

I still game on XP primarily and I have 8 separate folders (Action, Adventure, FPS, MMO-Online, Platform, Puzzle, RPG and Strategy) nestled in my Games folder which is nestled in my Start Menu. I use that classification system for Vista as well, though, because sometimes I think I have too many games. Other times I know I have too many installed when I sit there for 20 minutes trying to decide what to play… There’s actually 9 subdivisions if I count my “Controller” folder I use when I game on my HDTV upstairs.

Nice share from Mr. Mechner’s page as well. Thank you.

I just wanted to post this singular comment in order to show my acquiescence to my all benevolent Hivemind Overlords. Just this once… ;)
