NewKing_Medallion_Full There’s a big Impulse announcement on Wednesday so we’re going to get bumped to the following Thursday. I guess we’ll just be that much more polished.

Sorry about the wait guys.  The Impulse announcement is pretty cool though. I’ve been watching what they have in store. It’s one of those “Duh, why isn’t everyone doing this already?” type things. But IT can’t handle us, this and the Sins of a Solar Empire update next week too.

On the bright side, there will be a TOOONNN of new game info coming out this week.

Too bad you weren't using bumped in the good way.

Like hay look I just bumped this thread to the top!

I was going to make that joke but I decided against it.

Um, Hackbar, you do know where Stardock is located, right? Your "rabid fanbase" wouldn't make it ten feet before the guys with the pitchforks decide they'd rather be the guys with the fire, and the guys with the fire start wishing they'd picked something pointier to defend themselves with.

Except for those of us from Colorado. We'd laugh at all of the rabid fans who didn't think to be prepared. (I'm sure there are other states that would be prepared, but from personal experience, I know that everyone in Colorado is always prepared for almost any weather )

I've been trying to stop playing Sins -- but keep failing.

I've found that to be less of an issue... what with the AI kicking my but half the time because I'm too stupid (or is that proud...) to turn the difficulty down.

Being from both New Mexico and Alaska... ditto.

Seriously, Michigan winters are nice... I take the garbage out in my underwear.

I remember someone saying how the BETA would not be FUN. Perhaps this whole thing is part of the UN-FUN?

I must say though, I am starting to get more and more twitchy as every new Thursday comes and goes...

The Impulse announcement is pretty cool though.

could it be that Impulse get worldwide rights for EA titles or Ubisoft titles ?

It’s one of those “Duh, why isn’t everyone doing this already?” type things

That could fit since one complaint when comparing Steam and Impulse is the better regional availability for steam on some titles.

But it could be also the ability to register retail games on digital store in order to patch games ...

Or allowing 2nd hand market on digital store ...

I guess we need to wait to the announcement.

Impulse already has EA and Ubisoft.

Impulse already has EA and Ubisoft.

But only for North America, not Worldwide. I can't currently buy any EA or Ubisoft games on Impulse as I am in Europe

Frogboy and/or Boogieback need to timesync.  Boogie's first post after Frogboy's was time-stamped earlier.

Architecture note: it's probably not the client machine; Stardock probably has its forums on some kind of clustered architecture, and the cluster notes are out of sync.

Oh, in case anybody else didn't read through the lines, I think IT is really just "tied up" playing Sins: Diplomacy this week.

That would be ace indeed! Would see a lot more sales to me at least.

 Yea the Sins update is a pretty big deal. Lots of tweaks to pirates and other improvements.  I've been trying to stop playing Sins -- but keep failing. 

Ah and here we've the real reason for the delay... Good its at least out in the open now. Doesn't this feel better then all those lies about IT and such?

So what was the almighty announcement?  If it's 'Pre-Order Dawn of Discovery Gold and get a free copy of Heritage of Kings: The Settlers', I am decidedly underwhelmed.
