Dajjer: I went ahead and took one for the team. Game number 28 and no freebies yet,

Went on the Steam forums to see what the folks over there were saying and some of the complaints actually made me more interested in the game. Stuff like

1) Complaint - I can't hold my pirate empire together
Answer - Keep taxes high and no debt (defies conventional wisdom for the win)

2) Complaint - I took a break due to back surgery and cant find my 100 million dollar in factory assets due to a poor GUI.
Answer - no answer but I like the fact that the game allowed that type of game play

4) Complaint - I read around and after looking around I don't see how I can raid a plant or conquer one.
Answer - there were answers but I like my space game to also have a planetary aspect, not just be a flying sim

3) Complaint - I'm Admiral and use a Stonewall battleship with long range lasers, it blasts everything to pieces...no challenge...mumble
Answer - there were answers but for me easy games are fun and sending in long range blaster to smash stuff sounds like a fine way to spend $2.49
Plus you'd have to be quite far off in the game, and I'm pretty sure you can get missions tailored to your skill level in wars

Sure go for it, we haven't let sanity get in the way of this plan so far :)

Alien8n: Yup, I went to school with a kid who at the age of 13 got a game reviewed in Crash Magazine. Got a higher rating than most of the professional games being built at the time. Written entirely in Basic with a Poke hacked font for the graphics :)

lowtechgeek: First program I ever wrote was a Black Jack game for my TI-82.
I hacked an old ZX81 game, fantasy island or something like that iirc.

Khajiin: Anyone here for the next like 8 hours and willing to save me a copy of Quest for Glory, Gobliins Pack and Capitalism? My GF insists on sleeping on the couch next to me if I don't go to bed with her ...
Just go take her to bed upstairs, let her fall asleep then slowly remove yourself from her grip, then sneak out after about 20 minuets. Trust me it works so long as you are not heavy footed.
