Well since 90 something percent of the internet is porn, it's a safe bet to say Craig was in a pr0no.

I guess this means they can't win any awards with Entrenchment in 2009 - since it has already been used for this years award :D

BTW - when in Entrenchment being released. I have access to Internet for about 13 more hours and then I won't have it until next year for my home PC.... :(

(Moving tomorrow and it will take 2 and a bit weeks to get the ADSL2 setup at new house, and I go interstate for Xmas on 19th.... :( )

Ouch that sucks.

Actually Entrenchment can still get awards in 2009 because the game of the yewar 2008 was called SoaSe not SoaSe: Entrenchment, they only put video from the unreleased exspansion and called SoaSE, so the general public does not now that.

This is a victory for intelligent PC gaming with strategic depth as opposed to watered down, mindless "PC games" that are consolized console ports.  It's also a victory for DRM-free games.

CONGRATULATIONS IRONCLAD!  And thank you for a wonderful game!

 

Now, get Entrenchment out in '09, wow them with that, and take it two years running!
