ATTN: To the Wizard Ganfalf Parker

Has anyone heard about Gandalf recently? It has been quite a while since he last posted here, and all his sites I know of have been down for the past two weeks or so.

He's about. I'm not sure what's up with his sites though.

Last I heard from him he said something about a "fight with a Balrog" so...

Try searching Google Groups with his name. He mentioned waiting for Dominions III and Space Empire V rather than next Civ,HoMM,AoE or Polyneux game. You can also find some other interesting stuff. Did you know that Gandalf is a White-hat?

ALSO, on the VGAPlanets newgroup:

Umm... you won't get that until it goes Gold. Anything Tim sent you now would BE the beta. He won't be sending CDs out until the game is "complete". Download the beta and then enter your Reg number for the most up to date code.

I understand all that. But Im not really interested in the beta. Im already beta testing way too many games.

When its abit farther along I might jump the gun. Until then I will hang on to this many years old letter saying that Ive bought the game.

You know, I think he mentioned Dominions III being in beta before... So maybe he is just 'busy' with something else.

Dom III is still in alpha, actually.

Just dropped by the forum to see if Dom3 is on the horizon yet. It would appear not. See you in another 12 months!

So the first estimate was way too optimistic it seems.

Or did something happen?

EDIT: I can wait though. Lately I have been taking back childhood I never had by *gasp* getting my hands on a Playstation and playing terribly ungrognardish games with grey haired young men with oversized swords and blue armored humanoid robots.
