IF (NewExpansion == True)
{
money.give(much);
}
Else
{
QQ.ToMuchAVWW();
}

Jokes aside, how will you post when we can start giving you money?

I'm at the point where I'm basically throwing money at Arcen simply for them being Arcen. I don't care if I end up hating a game or simply not playing it (Tidalis), I buy it anyway. :P

^^This is me^^ (except I also enjoy Puzzle Games and Tidalis was a pretty nice surprise for me  :D)

Dinner at the end of the galaxy?  Is that at the restaurant at the end of the universe?

More seriously, what you suggest sounds like the SuperTerminal.

Sorry, more a joke than a serious request - it was a reference to TRatEofU  ;D

Right. Derp!  :o

Haha!  I should be Bognor the Burninator!

Off-topic: My name actually comes from a Pictionary game when I picked "Bognor Regis", a place no-one in Australia has ever heard of, and which sounds bizarre to my ear.  It's apparently featured in a couple of published lists of "crap towns", which seems somehow fitting.

I'd like to reiterate a friends request for moar campaigns.  Exploring fallen spire has been a fun experience.  Also, conceptually hilarious.

The AI threaten's our existence!  Quick, run accross the galaxy researching strange signals that have nothing to do with the AI!

And somehow come out with massive capital ships that can crush the AI like a bug!

Sounds like JRPG logic to me.

Well, it was either that or run across the galaxy detonating nukes for no good reason, so HQ is probably glad that these popped up.

What's that? Simply fight the AI? What sort of sense that does that make? How would that help? :P

Nah, the really important stuff is always where you aren't looking.  Perhaps because it is hidden in shadows.

Well, I have to say, it's nice to see such enthusiasm already. :)  I had been a bit worried that folks were saturated enough with content and would be less interested in more.  Glad to see that's not the case!
I have $5 taped to my monitor, hoping it will someone make it to you via tcp/ip-based osmosis so I can access the beta sooner.  My back-up plan is a building a time machine so I can travel into the future and get a copy that way.  I expect Steam will complain about registering a key for a game they don't even carry yet, but I trust you guys to resolve even problems I may have with a future-copy of the expansion you haven't written yet.

I am half tempted to show up at Chris's door, hand him a $5 with my forum name written on it, and walk off without saying anything.

I live like 20 minutes away so I could totally do this.
