And further, we could quite easily make a contest of it. Of course, this hinges on our teams meeting in honorable combat. Perhaps we could make it a wager, if you wish.
For those interested in my room. I have limited slots available get to me ASAP so I can do all the maths and organizing. I currently have five, including myself, in the room. Depending on what Linkigi does that could bump it to six possibly seven.
Son of a bitch, Rym. I'm so goddamn excited I'm going to explode. Also, I love that you had a shot of the Avenger controller dealie that OceanMarketting helped Markett.
I don't even use that anymore. I'm not sure if it's some setting I changed, but all I do is hit "PrtScrn" and paste it to a new file in Photoshop, but yes pause it first.
Yeah, I know how to do that. The resolution was just so good I assumed you had used a specialized tool of some kind. Very surprising that the crude method gets such good results. Also, back in the day that used to not work because videos would play in an overlay buffer and printscr would only grab data from the default video buffer. If a video was playing you just saw a black square in the screenshot.
Oh mans, I'm ready for PAX. Speaking of, I found a cheap copy of Eclipse, and I'm debating bringing it to East. Are there people interested in playing it (and/or is it popular enough that tabletop will have spare copies so I can save luggage space)?

Yeah, that's what I was referring to back in the day. I used to have to play the video in Winamp and disable some setting to be able to get a screen shot. I just enlarged the video to full screen and viola! That way has worked for quite some time now. That's how I get a decent amount of the images of movies or shows I put in ATW9K Photo Friday.
You can also attest the high quality to Rym's camera that recorded all that wonderful stuff.

Where in the fuck did you find a cheap copy of Eclipse?

Haha. Well, it was $60, which seems a lot better than the $100+ I'm seeing around the Internet. I found it through boardgamegeek, here. WARNING: Their website is absolutely horrendous.
EDIT: It looks like this guy has it for $35, if you trust random internet people.
That was my train of thought when I saw Eclipse come from nowhere and shoot up into the BGG Top Ten right out of the gate. Can it honestly be THAT good, with people probably rating it off of one or two plays? Looks like I've been proven wrong, and will be waiting until April for my copy.

It's that good.
It scratches the itch of a versus space exploration, research, military game. Elegant physical/mechanical design allows a surprising degree of complexity without requiring needless calculation or tabulation on the players' part: it's surprisingly closer to a computer game than a board game mechanically while remaining squarely in the realm of the latter.

Not elegant, but quick and effective.

Yeah, March needs to go by fast.
