notovny:
Ah. Bad Baby. Acquired by having one of your assets banned in the Sporopedia. Wondered why they even put that one in.
Insanity Prelude:
Social victory in Tribal was already pretty easy. ::)
raptureswild:
So... pardon my n00bness, but should I or shouldn't I install this patch?
FYI I am not smart and/or devious enough to have gotten the game in any creative way. I paid $50 for it, and it makes me sad to think that I spent over 6 hours' pay on this STUPID GAME.
Milhouse Trixibelle Saltfucker III:
One need be neither smart nor devious to acquire one's games, one merely needs to dock one's galleon at the Pirate Bay. One will need, however, a program of the BitTorrent-client variety. Consider uTorrent (Properly speaking, it should perhaps be mTorrent, considering it uses the letter "Mu", but that is beside the point.)
