SINS II SINS II SINS II

So far an interesting mix of holdover assets from Sins 1 (it's an early test alpha) and really snazzy new stuff.
The sinsII pre-order is playable right now? Can you give us a detailed impression pretty please, if you feel you want to and should? I'd love to know whether it has a tonne of new features or is a reskin with some of their old beta ideas they did not impliment activated. I seem to remember way back they said no to spinning things because they found it too complicated and confusing for players for instance. Also remember they said that 4x is supposed to be amplified. How far did they go?

It's too early. Wait.

Distant Plain & I hope a bit of Nevsky (no electricity required  :)

You have a group for Distant Plain or are you playing it solo?

I'm playing it solo - its a game I have set up at present & visit a few times a week, seems ideally suited to this as the rules (once learned) are quite simple & the ebb & flow of the game is quite easy to pick up again after a gap in play - its all map/unit focussed so you can quickly re-acquire the situation.

This. It's way too early. It's more of a test environment or a mod for Sins 1 so far, almost. I also haven't had time to really dig into it yet.

Aw yeah... I'm ready for the weekend.  8)  Aside from watching the absolute peak of cinema, I'll also be playing Vicky 3 and hopefully wrapping up the Steam upload for War of a Madman's Making.

A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.

If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

Insert witty comment here.

^ You just saved everyone $10 on Amazon!

But really though, there's an elite few So Bad It's Good films that I feel are genuinely worth owning, if you dig that kind of thing.  Troll 2 and Megaforce are also in that category, but I don't know if Megaforce is readily available for Bluray/DVD.

^ I think Megaforce is available on YouTube chopped into like 10 segments or something.

I just finished The Room.  Once I'm through with Samurai Cop, I'm pretty sure my brain will be fried to the point of being unable to use complex things like The You Tubes.

Thanks anyways. Those couple of extra words have told me a bit already. It's going to be just like back in the old days having another Sins and Homeworld game around being played at the same time.
