Getting the game: does the 21st begin at 12:01? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Having preloaded the game, I'm having a hard time keeping down the slobber I'm generating at the thought of the untapped gaming potential now residing on my hard-drive. So my question is simple: at 12:01 can I download the remaining files and engage in a gaming experience which will result in the shuddering release of my pent up Galciv II yearning? *twitches uncontrollably* I'm just asking... <img src="http://images3.stard

Your Favorite Joke in the Manual... in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

With a successful preload I got my first look at the manual. Hilarious! My personal favorite is the description of the planet classes "Class 6 through 8: Unpleasant, like northern Michigan."

Reply to PC Games need to deliver the goods to compete! in PC Gaming JoeUser Forums

It's all about value... I have to say, the big problem that faces a lot of gaming (both PC and console) is the value per dollar purchase. Since I graduated college, I haven't had as much time as I would like to game. I have even less time to keep up on the development of games that I find interesting. Buying games nowadays becomes a gamble, and aside from certain developers (*cough*Bioware*cough*) I'm never sure if the game is gonna bite. When I first began considering GalCiv, I sa

Main menu: inverted Earth in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Anyone notice that Earth is the planet depicted on the main menu screen? Its upside down and flipped horizontally. The "boot" of Italy is what gave it away for me. I turned my head upside down, but something was still wrong. They also flipped it horizontally!! It's almost as if its Bizzaro Earth! ~SDC~
