Aaawwwww, thank you so much for the kind words! :)

Distant Worlds has finally gone on sale. 17% off.

Klaatu · 2014-12-08T14:48:49.000Z

So you can wait and hope it’ll go on sale at a bigger discount during the Winter sale, or snatch it up now at the cheapest it’s been yet (at least according to the history on isthereanydeal.com).

I already have Shadows and Legends, and I’m apparently waaay too late for the discounts to Universe. So no Universe for me.

I think Matrix was giving a discount on Universe for prior expansions owned. Not sure if they are still doing it.

Hey folks, anyone up for an X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter bout next Thursday evening?

CraigM · 2014-12-11T10:54:14.000Z

next Thursday you say? Well I happen to finish class this week, and will have 3 weeks off. Meaning my evenings are free! I should be able to make it this time (unlike last). Plus I got the controls configured well on the gamepad, so it shouldn’t be too much of an handicap.

BrianRubin · 2014-12-11T11:27:56.000Z

Woohooooo! Hit me up if you can make it!

New and quite spectacular Limit Theory video update. The opening few minutes are something to behold.

CraigM · 2014-12-18T15:16:09.000Z

What time is the planned multiplayer Brian?

BrianRubin · 2014-12-18T15:35:49.000Z

The X-Wing vs TIE Fighter multiplayer game you were talking about last week.

BrianRubin · 2014-12-18T15:47:40.000Z

Oh gah, completely forgot about that. Craig, let’s table it for now. In 2015 I wanna try to get a weekly night.

BrianRubin · 2014-12-18T15:48:32.000Z

Sorry, is that okay?

CraigM · 2014-12-18T16:28:27.000Z

No problem :) I’ve been there myself.

This just came up in my radar: http://www.starcommandgalaxies.com/

I owned the mobile version of the game on my ipod (yes, that’s an [o] and not an [a]. Things from ancient times) and had a real blast on that game.

BrianRubin · 2014-12-18T16:49:12.000Z

This new one is compleeeeeeetely different, apparently. Much more to the original vision of what the game was supposed to be.

Demorve · 2014-12-18T17:15:05.000Z

Calling Brian Rubin, Calling Brian Rubin, please come to the Space Game thread.

Seriously though I noticed that StarDrive is on sale for $7.49. I know all about the Developer’s broken promises and abandonment of the game, but what I want to know is this; is the game worth the price as is? Forget all the bs that came before is the game fun and playable as is now?

Thanks.
