Completely irrelevant... certainly. I never had more stamina or enthusiasm for, er... strategy games... than when I was a teenager.

They could also be looking for the industrial band dominions III.

I agree with archae.

this is the problem with statistics

people don't understand there is no fundamental truth to any number, but rather there is always an interpretation.

and interpretation is always a little scandalous...

...the strong version of this is the "there is no truth" postmodernism. but even if you don't agree with that, there is a kernel of truth to it

There is no truth to "there is no truth". That's the truth. No it isn't. It really is, I don't mean that. No, really. No.

Reminds me of "Now listen carefully Norman.."

Those ads are singlehandedly responsible for me not purchasing any more products from Shrapnel.

Those ads pushed me back towards heterosexuality... is that really supposed to be hot? I'm not sure they'd have pushed me towards Dominions either...

I'm pretty much against the ads as their message doesn't correspond with what they point at. That is, for me, a pretty low way of tricking the potential consumer.

I haven't gone quite that far (I will still buy Illwinter's next project if it catches my fancy) but it's a definite turnoff. It does dampen my desire to point people toward Shrapnel games.

Oh no, I'm caught in the thread. Sigh.
