Who got it and wants to get dominated in some quick and dirty multiplayer action some time?

Not unlike sexual escapades with fDood.

Do you use a safe word?
They say when you go on a quest for vengence to dig two graves. They underestimate me.

I got the demo to check it out, no multi-player available. Having issues with the graphics since apparently an 8800GT is now considered crap for a video card. I suspect it's something to do with DX10/11 memory issues since I finally got to play a game (died horribly) by switching to DX9. The Q9550 (2.83GHz Quad-Core) and 8GB RAM are doing just fine though there IS a memory leak as well...

Unless there's some stupid cheap sale on it, it'll be a while before I get the retail version. I just can't justify $50 on a game right now when I can play EQ2x and Age of Mythology Online for free. Even though I REALLY like the hex tiles. And since I need a new video card to actually make use of the rest of my system properly.

I have the same card, but DX9 actually crashes for me and DX10 runs, but the detail of the tiles is all striated and it's subsequently hard to determine what kind of tile I'm looking at without mousing over it. "Oh, that's desert...funny it looks identical to the grassland right next to it."

Other than that I've had no issues. Need to replace my card in the next few weeks though.
