    It looks like Tarkin's in the pic as well, plus the Death Star.

    Steampunk do usually take place in, or is visually inspired by, Victorian Great Britain and/or post-Civil war USA but right now I am looking for steampunk that take place in, or is visually inspired by, Asia or a Asian country. Do people know any beside the Avatar-cartoon?

    It's actually Daala -- she was often drawn with Tarkin's rank insignia (so is Thrawn, there, which used to annoy me a ton because people kept using that image as a model instead of his HttE insignia). That's an oooooold pic. I've seen it many times but I couldn't remember where I originally saw it.

    Grah. I was going to wait on a sale for Beyond Earth but I can get it for $27 apparently. That's basically half off.

    Resistance wavering ... blackmyron AdmiralWesJanson Gorefiend please advise.

    Well, darn. I just tested it, and they won't let me combine coupons with gift vouchers. That's lame. So it's $37 then. Far less tempted now...

    Then wait, really up to you, as there really is no reason to by any game on release these days. Not like they will run out of copies. :)

    Yeah the only reason I was tempted was because I thought they'd let me combine those. If so, it seemed like a steal. But if not, then I'm in no particular hurry. I'm not as into the genre as you folks, after all.

    I guess the days where you could just mash together coupon codes are long gone. :(

    I preordered it (at full price) for the bonus map pack. And to show my support for an awesome game, rather than yet another crappy free-to-play browser game, or a new edition of Call of Duty- Frat Boy Appeal.

    Playing a game of Civ V with only space victory allowed and the civs that will be in Beyond Earth. At this point, China looks like they may win the tech race/space race. :(

    Well... you could pick up Alpha Centauri on the cheap, and then watch Steam for sales for Beyond Earth?
    Or just give in to the desire like the rest of us and ignore fiscal responsibility. :p

    Since it leaked early, they decided to put the official Avengers 2 trailer is up:



    Also a pretty cool Halo: Nightfall trailer, looks pretty good

    Halo: Nightfall looks like it is going to be good, but I am a little put off by Halo: The Master Chief Collection, because I don't have or really want an Xbox One and I just wanted Halo 2: Anniversary on the Xbox 360.
