I could've sworn they were going to accept PayPal.
Boo. No games for me.

I was going to buy fallout until I realized no Paypal. I'm surprised how many places haven't added it as an option.

So if I was going to go for the Interplay deal and get 1 free game, which should I choose? I.e. I know I want to get Fallout: Tactics. So if my other game is a choice between Fallout 1 or 2, will I miss anything by getting 2 instead of 1?

Some of the backstory and references between the two games. I would get 1 now with the deal and 2 later if you like it. They are not that different, and if you really want to play both the right order makes more sense.

I, for one, intend to repay their kindness by buying half their stock. Oh ho ho, never give me news like this on payday! EDIT: So the affiliate program, HOW DOES I USES IT? Or is it even set up yet? Unrelated: One of our localization team was showing CDProjekt's deluxe Polish version of Mass Effect PC yesterday. It was jaw-droppingly awesome and filled me with lust. Way, WAY better than what you can get in NA. When these guys do something, they do it fucking right. Everything I've seen from them has increased my respect. |

I hope they stay afloat. Sadly, the business model they're working by isn't one that's often seen as successful.

The MOMENT the affiliate program gets put in place, I will make a post here. Sorry for the delay that I have nothing to do with. They need to get their shit together on that.

They do translation, packaging, and distribution, not content or code. |

You were gushing about what, then? The box? Details, man.

Its not that the bar is very high on that one. The german special edition was especially crappy.

The box is about a 18" square and 3-4" thick. Sturdy, high quality cardboard with art on all sides. In addition to the game, it comes with an N7 t-shirt, soundtrack CD, full-color gloss-finish art book (including a lot of obscure concept stuff that even our artists didn't remember), a bigger manual, and a set of concept art postcards from the worlds in the game, all lovingly cradled in padding. There may have been other stuff that I missed - like I said, it was being shown around, I didn't get a chance to poke through it myself. |

If the Witcher Special Edition was any indication of what they pack together, I'm sure it was all kinds of awesome. Putting the Witcher Wolf Medallion in it? Genius.

I was reminded today that the ME box also included a lanyard (meh) and a mousepad (win!).

whats the quality like? Are these games on some crappy lil emulator to be played in a 640x480 window or will they support higher rez and widescreen gameplay? I used to just adjust my OS screenrez for a larger more visable size but with LCD/widescreen this just makes stuff look like ass, which more often than not leaves you playing in a tiny lil 5" window (commodore 64 portable flashbacks).

You think they kidnapped the original programmers and forced them to rewrite their games in high resolution?

I don't care if it is truly rendered at high resolution I just want it to scale (preferably in a window to avoid wide screen distortion), sort of like how there are some widescreen hacks floating around for older games. |

Hows it going with the program? Castles and Castles 2 are coming. I loved the shit out of those games when they were released.

If they announced something I'd be all over it. If I missed it I'd be annoyed.
