I bought it. Two actually. Me and my ungrateful, spoiled kid.

Gordon, buy it, and then set us up the server.

Ungrateful and spoiled in general or did he do something specific?

In my experience, it's usually both.

Shit, I just spent my monthly discretionary income (allowance).

I guess I'll have to beg the wife.

It isn't like if she had said 'no' that I wouldn't have bought it anyway...

Exactly.

Not much of an illusion, but still.

Give me the illusion of not being whipped.

You always had the servers. So, make another one. TFC that is.

Actually, come to think of it, make it TF2, since we are all buying that one. :-)

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars was named "Best multi FPS of the year" by PC Gamer.

I was just reading about how awesome rocket jumping is in TF2. Makes me not want to touch it.

But that was in TFC. . . and you loved TFC.

As long as it's a supported feature, and anyone can do it, I won't mind it. If it's still an exploit that only the leet can do, then it will piss me off too. But I do remember the trailer showing rocket jumping. So, TF2 <3 teh leets. But even if you screw up the jump. . . just hit space and try again right away!!

That was always my biggest beef with the game. No consequences of dying. Just rush, spam, repeat.

Otherwise, Sins of a Solar Empire is time sucking in a way that Civ 3 used to be. You just don't want to stop playing it.
