Default \"The Awakening\"?

OK, what's up with that mysterious ad now? This time I think it's for Dom3 rather than for ForeSight... speaking of which, why isn't there a Dom3 release date listed on the main page like with all your other games?

Hmm, Awaken... Sounds like Cthulhu to me. Just look at that other banner: "This means war".

Alneyan, nice to 'see' you.

Heh, it would be easier to "see" you if I could just open up a wormhole to your office. My generator seems to be broken, though.

Cthulhu, in Lovecraft's works, is a nice chap. Thankfully, he is still sleeping and dreaming, but plans to take over the world as soon as he awakens, eating a few people in the process of doing so. Awakening, dreaming and world conquest seem to fit him pretty well, and "this is war" is pretty much spot on too.

Hey Alneyan, check out www.CthulhuLives.org
My wife and I bought the CD. Its FANTASTIC. A total giggle for anyone who knows the subject that well.

Shouldn't there be a tentacle instead of a hand sweeping across the map?

I'm hoping it's DomIII as well...

EDIT: not enough I's in that post... ah well, I clicky the thread just to see that I am a fool... [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Cold.gif[/img]

I think The Awakening shall be an exciting game about getting up and going to school or work. What clothes shall my character wear? Should I have coffee at home? Spend valuable resources at the coffee shop? Will I remember to click on everything I need to bring? It'll be fun . . .

Sounds like "The Sims"... though I would be interested to see what Shrapnel's take on a real-life simulation would be, given their upcoming BaseBrawl board game and general weird sense of humor

Ed, are you saying we're weird?
