Woo! I have one somewhere, but it won't stay up and we're not allowed to mutilate the walls of our flat. This reminds me, I must do a new version of this post saying how everything was. Pretty awesome month huh.

Actually I didn't write that - I wrote something long and complicated explaining the nuances and uncertainties of the situation, and it got cut to that by someone who actually realises how big a page is.

Tom of Introversion said this in that thread I linked, though: "With any luck in around 6 month's time we're then going to release two very cool ...how shall I say... things Wink before something totally new in 2007!"

Smart money's on one of those non-'totally new' projects being Multiwinia.

In your Long Play article it says 'Multiplayer: Not yet - wait for a patch.' Where have you found this out and is it true? If it is, I really am going to start playing Darwinia more.

You've made me feel very guilty about Darwinia. Not only did I wait for it to reach Ã‚Â£20 before I bought it but I also bought it from Game. I'm sorry, Tom. :(

Also, your music is startingly good.

Dabs: yep. I've hidden your text for the sake of anyone who hasn't got to that episode yet. Some people thought the reply said something else, so when they did a recap episode later on, they re-recorded the message to be clearer. Now everyone thinks it's a conspiracy to cover up the original message. Sigh.

Good grief, I promise I will be more careful proofing comments in the future. s/he/the, and "the same..." refers to Black and White. I also wanted to chime in on the demo - I'm also in the betas, though sadly I've only had time to play enough for a couple of obvious bug reports. Everyone with an interest just needs to know that the new demo will Rawk. That's with a capital R, son. It's a much better introduction than even the full game, and all that keeps it from being a Perfect Level is the absence of any Ants - but I guess one needs to hold something back for the full version.

"If you havenÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t listened to it carefully yet, do so now. It is interesting stuff." Can I just confirm now: it's difficult to hear over Locke's shouting but does the responding voice say (spoiler) "we're the survivors of flight 815?" (/spoiler) If so, whoa.

Overruling counterexample: Gabe and Tycho hated Fable (as did he two guys I know who played it). Apparently it has exactly the same vices (quote adaptive freedom end quote, but none really), with none of the redeeming character or toy value. Shrug. We're (in the case of PA, arguably) not professional games journalists. Maybe it's good.
