Guild Wars doesn't get a mention? 3 major cities (and a major PvP area) got a snowy overhaul decked out with trees and giant gingerbread cookies and such. 'Wintermas' themed quests, where you fight Grentches and Humbugs, or destroy all of a settlement's presents. Candy cane weapons! Gingerbread and Peppermint Candy shields! Egg nog! Snowman Summoners! Gifts traded in town via a mini game in which presents spawn around town, and you have to get them to a young child before the 'Grentches' blow them up! And PvP Snowball fights complete with unique snowball combat skills (Avalanche, Yellow Snow, etc.) And on New Year's Eve, an epic battle between the God of Death and the Goddess of Life to determine if the world will ever see spring! (Think Combat Groundhog Day).
Thay are not. Linux downloads and Linux/Win32 boxed versions will still be available from their site, http://darwinia.co.uk/. They are just using Steam to get the Win32 version of the game more exposure.
The game isn't trying to be every other RTS on the market; the game would also have been much easier/too easy with hotkeys - far as I know, the developers intended the gesture system to add pressure in crunch situations by giving you the added challenge of drawing the gesture properly when you were most likely in too much of a hurry to do it right.
There's a poll in the Darwinia forums now, and about 88% last I looked preferred the gestures to a possible hotkey system [for this game].
If you can't get the AirStrike to work properly, try drawing it really big - you can go outside the confines of the 'circle' on the Task Manager screen, or draw it completely outside of the circle - if accurate enough, the game will still take it. I still think v4.0 Grenades are the best secondary in the game - AirStrike takes too long after the markers are launched - and I do have trouble drawing a correct Grenade gesture, BTW, but in that case I just draw up a new squad, since grenades are the default 2nd. weapon.
I agree, Darwinia is an amazing game, essentially written by one guy on a laptop in his bedroom, and marketed by him and 2 other guys... out of their bedrooms.
Think Tron, Centipede, Space Invaders, and Cannon Fodder all rolled into one RTS-style game with a unique mouse gesture interface.
Too bad, I actually really liked playing VtM Bloodlines - partially for the storyline, but mostly because the ambience of the game reminded me a lot of the SNES Shadowrun game. Call me weird, but it just seemed to have a similar 'feel' to it, what with the various missions, social interaction, computer usage and simple combat. Which makes me want a similar treatment for a Shadowrun-based game really bad.
Somewhat buggy anyways, it freezes and locks my system up everytime I get to the graveyard - about 5 minutes of playtime in... anyone else having problems with it?
...at the corporate offices to be precise [she's an electrician, builds the panels that run the systems] - and once a week, she fills up a few 18 gallon water cooler bottles at work, and brings them home. This stuff is perfectly safe, or else we wouldn't let out 4 year old drink it. Last year, they refitted the Samsung plant with one of the larger systems, the one in Korea. Being able to shit in one side and have pure water come out the other is one of their selling points. These guys are world wide, and this is the future of water processing.
Okay, I realize I'm probably gonna be crucified for admitting this - but I watch Gilmore Girls [because the wife does, honest], and to prevent confusion, there are 2 guys named 'Jess' - one was a bit part 'Jess' from a first season episode [our new Superman, Brandon Routh] who had like 30 seconds of total screen time and was never seen again. The recurring character that showed up in second season, 'Jess', the short, scrawny kid [Milo Ventimiglia], is not the guy who will be playing the new Superman. I just checked the Gilmore Girls Season 1 DVDs.
Joss as much as admitted that he 'borrowed' the idea for Buffy the Vampire Slayer from a Japanese anime called 'Devil Hunter Yohko' in an interview I read a few years back [in print, sorry, no link] - I wonder what his influences were originally for Firefly?

You say you got a Xbox Circle
Well, you know
We'd love to see it in stores, man
You ask me for date of fruition

Just let me have a cricket bat, and I'll be the first in line. :D
Is it just me, or does the main continent look like a big chicken head, red dangly thing under the beak and all?
No extra slots. If you play GW and need another slot, use the key provided at guildwars.com to create a new throw-away account just for the weekend.
...And christmas itself came from a Pagan celebration of winter solstice?

You see, we're putting the coversheets on all German nuclear weapons reports now before they go out. Did you see the memo about this?

Thank you - I was looking for something concrete, not just what people were thinking his inluences were. :)
