I was wondering if there was a way to get to the forums from that link? I'm too lazy to bookmark, so usually I go to unknownworlds and then community from there. I think having a forum link on the page that advertises the game would really help new potential players maybe come in, register, and then ask questions. Leave it to the community to hype the game up a bit.

On another note, I don't know how far along everything is, but a gallery or something would be sweet to. Something that shows off maybe a few marine stuff and a few alien stuff with descriptions. This was you can read up on some of the unique aspects of the game and you're not left with just a minute trailer and a few general descriptions of the game. NS vets will know what the game is about, so they can use their imaginations to fill in the voids of ambiguity, but new players have nothing to really look at (besides the trailer and a few concept arts) so they have no idea what to expect. This of course depends on how far along the game is, but still, some unit descriptions and stuff would be interesting, specially if there were some nice pictures to go with it.

Example of a game site: <a href="http://www.starcraft2.com/features/terran/" target="_blank">http://www.starcraft2.com/features/terran/</a>
It gives a nice story about the background of the Terran, and has a few of the units (or all, I haven't followed SC or SC2) and when you click on them, it gives you a little bio about them, their roles, and a few pictures of concept art and in game stuff.



I'm not worried about the vets understanding the website, its the new guys I'm looking out for.

    I agree, there should be a nice icon or something to get to the community site.

    No, they aren't the same person. It's a common mistake.

    His avatar, sig image, end-post signature and sig 'quote' are all parodies of specific people on the forum.

    Yeah, scythes and sickles are similar in blade shape, hence his choice for his sig.

    She skipped country and moved in with Lt. Patch in Norwich or that there region of England I believe. I have them both on MSN and they're regularly around online, but not here anymore. They'll be back... they always come back.
