I've been anticipating Demigod since I first heard it announced on the GalCiv2 site. Up until this week I'd managed to curb my feverish enthusiasm for such things. Then I saw it resting on the coming soon shelf at EB and then I went beserk reading every review, watching every preview video and scouring the forums for information on which Demigod I'll be playing.
It was so close to being here! Then I saw it listed as a May release for Australia
I know I can preorder it online but I don't have (or want) a credit card and have been incredibly wary of such things since I got burned ordering a copy of Gods for PC in 1991. Strangely enough the goal in that game was immortality too. Life can be very weird sometimes.
I'll probably use one of the other methods available to order and pick up TA while I'm at it. Anyways the point of this post was to share something I made to help me get through the wait. I spent this afternoon making this wallpaper. It did not help but perhaps it may help somebody else
You can download the full 1280x1050 version here
The first person to guess which side I'll be fighting for gets a cookie.
I'm also stubborn about being a PC only gamer. Its pretty alarming how few true PC titles are being released these days. Thanks for 'getting it' and still making great games for PC Stardock and GPG - you keep making them and Ill keep buying them.
