Right before I deployed I begged and cursed and maybe even stabbed a little for an earlier release of Avernum on the iPad. It's a great game! The odds seemed thin, but I begged anyway and viola, right before I had my utilities shut off I was able to read the announcement and download the game.
Now I spend half my time securing a COP in the middle of nowhere and the other half of my time riding helicopters back and forth to KAF for one thing or another. It's a lot of relatively short but uncertain trips that require a lot of moving around, so I'm glad I get to pack light and just bring my tablet - along with perhaps my most favored game ever. I might be homesick for Seattle, but I have a potent distraction.
But I never bothered to say thank you.
What a jerk.
So thanks, guys. I look forward to future releases, and as soon as I'm done being sincerely grateful, I will begin harassing each and every one of you to start working on a Geneforge update.
Sincerely,
-Stephen
P.S.
The good news is I got to fly on a Black Hawk helicopter.
The bad news is I threw up all over myself on a Black Hawk helicopter.
