I dunno, I try an make a silly joke, but as usual the geeks show their faces and nit-pick everything to death!

I thought it would be stupid to tell someone looking at the box cover of a game not to play it, but you guys just sucked the fun right out of that. :P

Look around you. What did you think was gonna happen? :P The geeks are too common to be the ones "showing their faces". It's normal people who are scarce around here! :D

Bumpity ~ It's been ages since I've been here, just learned about Defcon a few days ago ... naturally I already started working on a website (as I tend to do with whatever catches my interest)...

Has anyone seen any more than the four screenshots hosted on the IV website (plus the one in PCG UK)?

It can only be called that if I get to be Peter Sellers.

Tagline: Defcon - Like angry midgets flailing their arms at each other into utter devastation.

Speaking of bombs. Did you know that Zeppo Marx (the fourth marx brother) invented the clamps that were used to release the atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He also owned the company that manufactured them.

That's your random fact of the day.

I love all Peter Sellers movies but this one was a real classic. Slim Pickens was great. Have it on my hard drive...I still watch it, must have seen it a million times... :)

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.


I'm all for references but people who don't know where it's from would take it the wrong way..

Is the April release date still realistic? (Taking into account we're dealing with Introversion here :roll:)

Oh yeah, does anyone have an idea of what the triangles are for (seen in the screenshots)?

Sorry, but what does this mean? Is the release date going to slip, or is April fairly solid? (Had to register to find out what you meant... you can't imagine how much I'm anticipating this game!!)

As Introversion themselves say:

IV wrote:As anyone who has been involved with Introversion Software in the past will tell you, these estimates are far from set in stone.

Members of the public and press who pin their hopes and dreams on these dates do so at their own peril.
