Re: Refresh fever
 

Oh, the preaching's already taking place. I'm just looking forward to getting the full game and having some time to digest it so that I can drop a review over at GameFAQs the way I did for DomII. I'd love to see the FAQ community there pick up for Dom3 the way it never did for DomII, given that GameFAQs is a great gateway to a larger audience. Hopefully some of us can put a few strategy text files up there after release and get some additional momentum going for the game. After all, more players = more games. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

More support for Illwinter/Shrapnel = more updates/patches = better games = more players = more games!!

Ah, the circle of life. It brings a tear to one's eye.

That's awesome, because your original estimate was about 220 pages. I told Bruce I was looking forward to his manual almost as much as the game itself!

I am.

Not a stupid question at all. We are, and have been, looking at the options with regard to binding. I know we haven't decided for sure, but that decision has to be made next week.

Re: Refresh fever
 

Given my druthers (and roughly equal cost) I would request spiral bound as you can leave it open without stacking beer bottles on the corner-edges.

As we all know, beer bottles must be at least half full to keep a manual open and therefore a continual supply must be at hand. When they get below that critical point, a newly-opened beer bottle must replace the now less-than-half -full bottle.

Beer bottles sweat, especially near a computer that has been running for four or five days straight, which can ruin a good bound manual.

Spiral bound is the way.

I must agree with Caduceus's observations and therefore second his endorsement of spiral bound.

Re: Refresh fever
 

I think spiral works well for computer users. I understand that there are people who actually hold books open with their hands to read them. I really just cant picture myself doing that.

Re: Refresh fever
 

Please please please spiral bound. It is so much nicer than regular binding. Lays open by itself, more resistant to wear, etc.
