I don't have access Martok.  >:(

Even though I paid the extra money for Beta, the Desura folks got straight into alpha.

Ah, that's right.  I'm still rather annoyed with Desura over that (as are you and many others, no doubt).

LOL.  That's actually an image of the Kilrathi, one of the playable races in the game.   They're inspired by the Bulrathi, one of the races from the Master of Orion series.

Kilrathi were also the cat-like warrior race in the Wing Commander games.

I'm thinking there will be compensation. Even if it is only the "feel good" feeling of supporting an indie Dev in need.

Your compensation is that you don't have to deal with the shitty Desura client.  :P

I just downloaded Unstoppable Gorg. Played through the tutorial and really liked what I saw.

Go figure, I actually like the Desura client!

True. 

As for myself, I'm fine with only having pledged enough for a release copy.  I'm not a fan of alpha/beta-testing, however necessary it is.  (It's the same reason I've stayed away from the Fallen Enchantress beta, even though I have access to it.)

Would you happen to know how to choose where I'd like to install my games then? :P

At the very least, I would hope that SoM is wearing a monocle. Maybe the monocle-tophat-walking stick 'Mr. Peanut' combo, or is that me getting greedy?

This is only my after dinner attire in the drawing room. For special occasions I wear a full two-tailed doubled breasted tuxedo and spats. For very very special occasions, I only wear the spats.

Tpek, I don't know... it hasn't been an issue for me.

Just remember - there is *never* a special enough occasion to wear only spats.
