Oh load of bollocks. Images weren't being displayed and that download button was not clickable and did  not show a red x.

Balls. =(

Anyhoo, Go Pirate Bay. 6 hour download. <3

And I just found out that the pc boxed game is already available in Dutch stores. Crapsticks.

Game is well hard against medium AI. =S

ooOoOOo nice, didn't notice it was in stores already!
Guess I'll run by Dynabyte tomorrow, they have it at 45E and offer a 10% discount on games on top iirc. :)

Kudos where kudos is deserved, they answered my support email during the weekend at 8:20am this morning.

Hoping to get in a couple of games against the AI to find a team that suits my playing style. I hoped it would be dwarfs (<3), but they can't pass a ball if their beards depended on it. And the death roller gets sent off if you use it. Bollocks. Wood Elves add more drama to the game than Ronaldo. So I'm currently trying Lizardmen... but I seem to remember they're a bit overpowered. Even though medium AI still whoops my ass.

True, they are overpowered in the category "Sucks donkeyballs"   ;D


Early on (until TR 1300 or so) the strongest team is Dwarf by far, then the woodies become the strong team (unless the coach insists on hoarding all SPP to the wardancers and cathcers) around TR 1400-2000 until finally the reign of Chaos starts at Team ratings above 2100 or so. "Strong" used as in "winning the most games".

Hurray, just won my first game with Lizardmen against AI... I think I like them best. <3

Can't seem to create my multiplayer team though. The whole interface is stupendously slow and I can never connect to the server to save the team.

Bah. Forgot to pick it up today.
O well, there's always tomorrow. I haven't finished Dawn of War yet, anyway. ;)

Blood Bowl does seem to be bloody entertaining.

Mortally wounding Skaven doesn't seem to get boring. Ever!

"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

I got them down to 4 earlier this evening. =D

They are such feeble creatures. In single player my kroxigor can now use his st instead of ag when dodging, which is awesome. Still not managed to make an online team. Pewp!

Seemingly the gf is pissed off again anyway because I spent my afternoon playing BB. So maybe it's better that my online team isn't around yet. =P

It's made of Astrograniteā„¢, according to the flyer inside!

(Actually, no. Seems like it's being released as a budget title for non-budget money either way. No collector's editions that I could find. Guess the release is being done the French way ("Met de franse slag" as we say in NL - meaning quickly tossed together, and not very well done...like the European WAR release for example)  :P

Edit: But at -10 euro, I won't complain about just getting a cd and a booklet in a plastic folder....

Ok....I just lost the final of my first tournament in singleplayer to a dwarf team - due to a long bomb in the last minute  :o
The game is still unfair!
