Dude I love those things! They're kinda expensive though. At least from my supplier...

Frogboy did say "right off the bat", but I assumed it would be in the first week or so. Better than him saying 'first quarter' or something like that.

Well, coming from the futurs - I live in Australia, where it's the 4th already - I can confirm that annoucement was made for the duration of the 3rd.  Better luck tomorrow guys, I'll keep you posted.

They're coming.  Today was 10 hours of planning meetings.

Frankly, I'm surprised some people haven't figured out at least one of the announcements.

You mean the one about Heavenfall joining Stardock?  I figured that one out a long time ago.  Or do you mean the one about Jon Shafer (ex-Firaxis) joining Stardock?  Those are my two guesses.

Sid Meier himself would be a big name.

Elemental's first expansion pack is a gritty FPS Reboot where you play as John McSwordsman, a swordsman with dirty mouth and sarcastic attitude battling his way single handedly through an Rogues Den of enemies on his path to save the world?

  Toby and I were making fun of each other in skype today until one of the new hires laughed at both of us for all the back in forth in skype when we were sitting right beside each other at adjacent desks.

  Welcome to Stardock.

  BtW, I had a great day.  All three of the new folks are amazing, and we are lucky to have them.

Derek, did you move to Michigan to work at SD?  I kind of thought you might work from a home office...

Shafer has to be one of the appointments based on the timing of leaving Firaxis. :)

I'd like to thank everyone who voted for the ability to fill a world with rampaging monsters. Knowing there are people out there who want the same thing makes me feel all warm inside, and somewhat scared.

You must have known Stardock couldn't keep this secret forever...

 

 

Also, are we really getting Jon Shafer? Does this mean squares will be replaced with hexes or that this will become Elemental:Revolution, or both? o_O

My Wild guess is Heavenfall, Sirian, annnnd maybe Soren Johnson.
