Karnaaj Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 OK, kids, I just got a confirmation from GoGamer (www.gogamer.com) that my copy of S2 is on the way: "full English import version" in DVD hard-case. Now, as to *arrival* time... <G> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karnaaj Posted November 7, 2003 Author Share Posted November 7, 2003 Postmark: 4 NovemberArrived: 6 NovemberInstalled: A little later tonight <G> I do want to note that the two discs arrived in a generic DVD case - not one made for two discs, unless the longer spindle was designed for this purpose. Yes, they were *stacked*. <sigh> Maybe it's just me, but IMO it's a bit cheesy; I'd rather get a two-disc jewel case. (Oh well; I'm gonna cram 'em into a softcase with my other CDs anyways...)

Biggles Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Those 'long spindle' dvd cases ARE a 2 DVD case, it's just a different way to package them, and allows a nice fat manual to be included in the other side. You see them quite a bit in UK games now, you Yanks & us Aussies are too used to getting big fat cardboard boxes full of air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggy Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 you Yanks & us Aussies are too used to getting big fat cardboard boxes full of air. indeed, I hate the cardboard boxes, such a waste of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karnaaj Posted November 8, 2003 Author Share Posted November 8, 2003 Yeah, the cardboard is a pain - more trash, bleah. I'm just unthrilled with stacking the bloody discs... one of my Quake III discs managed to get atop-surface scrape, and so is trash. <grumble> And I can't find me spare one, either. Oh well. I'm gonna be playing S2 for quite a while, so... <G> gonna be demoing it at this weekend's LAN party, see if I can get some more folks drooling.

Biggles Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 I find most of the people I know used to FPS LAN games get a bit bored by TB games, they can't handle the pace. Not all of them of course, but most of the ones who've come into gaming more recently just don't know how to take the lack of non-stop action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 Some turn-based MP games let you set a time limit for the turn, so if folks are particularly impatient, you'd set it fairly low and force them to think fast I enjoyed Blue Byte's Incubation in multiplayer, esp. in co-op (enabled by the expansion) -- it's one one of the few visceral turn-based strat games I'd played until the S2 demo came out I've been out of touch with S2, but a friend gave me a headsup about Gogamer importing the UK version -- I just ordered yesterday and hope to have by Wednesday. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
