The installer doesn't work... :( After it tells me to get the key it leads me to the page for the key and then the installer quits. Gives me errors about not finding some file too. Dang, and this game looks interesting too.

Would anyone be interested in burning it and sending it to me?  Seeing as how im stuck in a backwater, hick-populated area without broadband.

Don't you just hate dial-up?

Can the reason that we fear the unknown be that we know ourselves too well?       -The Outer Limits

I bought this game AGES ago - love it. I didn't know that GC2 was out already - I'll have to see if the stores here sell it. If not, then, well - that's the game publisher's problem that they don't deem Israelis important enough to allow them to purchase a game legally.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

I had to wait 20 minutes to start it, though it took more like an hour. I looked at the time left in line at one point and it said 8 minutes, when I looked 2 minutes later it said 12 minutes left.

Suffice to say that it pwns, although I lose sound after about 25 minutes of play :(

You should see a doctor about that.
What frequency are you getting? Is it noise or sweet sweet music? - Refused - Liberation Frequency.

I enjoyed the relative simplicity of the first one, the second one tantelises with various things but doesnt quite seem to hit the mark... I guess it's just not my thing.
