Got the manual but how would I erase my previous msg?

Heh.
Before you had posted, there was an X in the upper right corner of your post, next to "quote" and "edit".
You can only do that when yours is the last post in the thread, though. So, by posting again, you effectively removed the possibility to delete it.
You can still edit it, though.

And, with my reply, you now also can't delete your second post.

So, manual spelling-error easter-egg-hunting?

I've got "s tatue" and "start-ing"

I still think it would have been nice if, instead of complete lock-out, they had just waited until R-hour and given us our keys then, and given everyone who pre-ordered a demo of maybe one or two modes to enjoy, as a thank you for pre-ordering, and what-have-you. And saying it's "just like what Steam does" doesn't necessarily make it brilliant. Despite being miles ahead of most digital delivery systems, Steam still can be annoying, or foul up.

I think the pre download is primarily to make sure that it doesn't go the same way it did with Defcon where the servers went down due to overload of downloads and games being created.

Meh. It gives those who have preordered the time to read over the manual.

To be honest, its quite a curse, having them torture us. I would much rather just have it over and done with. What's the point? The game is done, after all, right?

Right? If its not done, then your plan is very flawed. The manual is fantastic, though the reasoning behind not showing what all of the powerups are is beyond me.

Lets see, as far as I know, we have the lightning mentioned in that one blog post, Airstrike, gun turrets, squad, virii of many (if not all) types, meteor storm of uber-doom, and that soul sucking thingie from the alpha battle, the first video of multiwinia we got our grubby hands on. Am I missing anything? (Is just saying yes or no breaking the NDA? If it is, then its alright, but I would like a yes or no.)

EDIT: Also, the OUt of Eight review mentioned NUCLEAR SUBMARINES!

KICK
ASS.

Pointing to one of the reviews with a powerup list certainly does not violate the NDA. Saying whether that list is complete or not would.

[skull13]

Okay, cool.

Just checking.

[Xocrates]

Well, the Potential Gamer review includes this image.

[skull13]

I think thats....odd....

Okay, but I would much rather see an explosion.

[Kuth]

Aren't the submarines supposed to go nose-up some when they're launching thier nukes?

I wonder if the submarine sprites are editable...

[flib]

I'm really hoping that that's a joke.

There's also a "thats" which should have an apostrophe in it, near the end.

Oh, and a grammatical error, somewhere near the beginning - "Elect one of your Multiwinians to role of officer by selecting him with the right mouse button."

[Montyphy]

But what one is the right one?

It implies it isn't with the words "as the more conventional weapons".
