If you play for 36 hours straight, and then go to bed, you can beta test that mind meld version for free.

LOL I seem to recall dl'ing SE2 one Friday night and playing straight through till Monday morning. It's a shame really, the things I might have accomplished if I never got the damn free game.

Man, the times I've dreamed about SE4, I lost count. now even more with PBW, you've submitted and turn and right away is it, ohw, did I do that right, what will I find behind that warp point, what will happen next, etc loevely, but damnd suck dutring exams when you want to sleep good

Hell with Brain Play, you could theoretically be playing even while your working, driving, sleeping, etc. You go to bed at night, and set the game to Dream Mode, and this way you can play the game AS the actuall emperor. When your awake, you play it under Awake mode, or Work mode, in which case you give up certain aspects of the game to Minister or automatic control and you just keep an over watch on whats going down.

Then for evening play, or all weekend play, you set the game to Active Mode and you play like in Dream mode, but your awake and not in an REM state.

I would love to beable to load the dream game of my choice and head the pillow knowing that when I fall asleep, I will be sleeping but dreaming that I am in another reality. Games like Tribes, SEIV, others would take on a real feel and you would be flying through the air shooting flag runners, or standing in the centeral hall debating the validity of the war against the EEE. And since dreams are without a concept of time, you could literally run a thousands of turns before you wake up.

If this ever becomes a reality, vitural reality will become the crack cocain of that time. Society as we know it would fall into chaos, and twisted mentally ill hackers would try and hack into peoples minds and control them like some queen borg.

(Queen being the dilibrate term for these pimple faced virgins.)

SEV, English, French AND Crown Royal? whoa, I'm all for this one, Man, I can just see the hours quickly going by, eventually, the eyesight will blur, one will become lite headed and send his fleet into a sun or two but the game will go on until the sun comes up, or I pass out, which ever comes lst....

As far as price, I found my limit.

I really wanted to play Gary Grigsby's War in the Pacific. In fact, it would have been a guaranteed sale.

But at $69.99 (or $79.99 for a physical copy of the game), I'll never get to play it, because I refuse to pay that much for a game.

The most I have paid for a game was over $100 for Phantasy Star II on the Sega Genesis, this was about 14 years ago.

Sachmo, I agree $70 is alot for a game, BUT, I broke down and bourght Grigsbys War in Pacific, and I must say it is a great game. Its Huge, It has numerous scenerios and 2 massive campaign games. In all honesty, I must say the money was worth it. Check their site, it might be cheaper now.

This is the most I've paid for a wargame, however, I know of Grigsbys Rep and have played and own most of his games including Pac War and I know his games are usually very well done. In regards to this kind of money, I would only spend this much on a game that I knew something about the designer and that his games were very well done. Otherwise, I would not spend that kind of money for a game why take a chance on a game that could be a bust. Also I ck out game forums to read up on a game before I buy it, thats how I found out about SEIV. my 2 cents
