It's possible to make your own maps, is it not?

Get to it!

Ahh, I see... I did in fact read the FAQ, and I read that option as meaning you could change your alliance, as in your colour, with the number keys. Apologies.

Weirdest bug ever... whilst playing a second ago, I ([dys]MarvinPA, controlling South America to start with) had a connection error quite early on, it sorted itself out and I continued playing, however I was now controlling another continent and when I chatted, it was under another player's name (SC...

-doesn't require much graphic power
-would suit perfectly with double screen
-can be easily controlled with touch screen
-can be played online
-lacks giant enemy crabs

What!? I only pre-ordered because I was under the illusion that there were giant enemy crabs...

Pre-ordered from the Introversion store

My excitement is actually too great for words. I literally jumped up and down with glee when I read this.

Hmm, I read and really enjoyed both the Dirk Gently novels and the Meaning of Liff, but I've never seen The Salmon of Doubt or A Last Chance to See anywhere, I'll have to get hold of copies of those.

Yeah, I got it from the books, I think it was probably in the radio series too.

Hehehe, Hitchiker's Guide is taking over this forum

i heard that somewhere in scotland theres a sign that says "Secret Nuclear Base" ----> I think someones got it as a joke but sounds pretty cool. Yep, when I was on holiday in Wales I saw a secret nuclear base signposted, it was also marked on maps and apparently is open to visitors... I i...

That would be most excellent. I only just got this in the post yesterday (frame £18.99 IKEA). http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b339/ade_mcc/DSCF1806a.jpg Sorry. I've been a long time lurker and can't wait for Defcon. God damnit you just persuaded me to buy a Darwinia poster. Or possibly both.

I'd seen a picture of the TV series Marvin somewhere, so I did recognize him, I definitely think it fits the description in the books much better.

And I'll have to watch it again now to spot Adams

I always much preferred the books and radio to the movie, but I went into the movie expecting it to be a letdown and so was pleasantly surprised. It may not have been as good as the books/radio, but I didn't think it was at all bad. I never saw the TV series, but I played the game when it was redone...

Nah, I'm definitely pro-Steam. I've never had any problems with it, and it saves a lot of trouble. It means no crappy Starforce protection/being forced to have the CD in the drive, access to your games wherever you have an internet connection, an anti-cheat system that works as far as I can tell (I'...

Oooh. He's right you know.

How exciting

Uh... there doesn't seem to be a thread dedicated to introductions or anything, but it seems somehow appropriate that I introduce myself before anything else, so I guess I'll have to make my own. Hello! I'm MarvintheParanoidAndroid, been a fan of Introversion since Uplink, and (of course) I'm awaiti...
