Re: Playing GOAT at high resolution - Korean monitors?
I am NOT earning a living in the hardware business Sorry Kwisatz, I thought you were in the hardware trade. That's my bad :P I'm really tempted by this hardware: imho you make a lot of really valid points. The thing is, I've got long trips from my temporary home in Thailand on to Japan and the Phil...

Playing GOAT at high resolution - Korean monitors?
Hey folks, I know this post is unusual but this isn't spam, I just wanted to share with you a PM that Kwisatz sent me. He works with PC hardware, so Kwisatz has a lot of insight into quality and price. The monitors he describes just might be the right option if you are on a budget, but hoping to pla...

Re: Possible Console Version?
Korean monitors - Just to say that Kwisatz got back to me by PM about the Korean monitors. Kwisatz knows quite a lot about hardware, so if you are in the market for a low-cost high-res monitor, this is his inside scoop. I put his detailed info in a separate thread to keep this thread on topic... th...

Like EvilKing suggests, if the image is too big, download it, resize it manually (maybe with Photoshop), upload it to an imag...

Re: The finest game soundtracks... ever!
@EvilKing...For FF8, the variety and dynamism of it is remarkable. Some of it is utterly amazing! I couldn't quite wrap my ears around Persona 3 & 4. I'm wild for the Persona aesthetic, but it may be that I'm more of a bass addict when it comes to sounds. @Seith... that was also really interesti...

I must check on Amazon and eBay again. @Kwisatz... those monitors sound terrific at the right price (so, if necessary, I can leave them behind if I move) and if I can get 'em in Thail...

Re: Possible Console Version?
Huge GOAT does look compelling, I'm kind of drooling at the prospect. These past three months, I've been actively looking to buy a projector for work and gaming. I had one before, and it was awesome having a half-wall of PC visuals :D Eventually the projector bulb died though, and I've been hunched ...

@EvilKing... yes, you are right of course. Especially with all the effort and uncertainty that goes into sourcing, storing and distributing physical products, like boxed sets, tshirts and plushies. However, I do think that he is being a just a bit too cautious about opening the store for digital pro...

Re: How Can I pre-order/support This game?
I think you both raise a perfectly valid point. It is difficult for people to get on board with GOAT now that the game is between the IGG campaign and launch. Seith and I talked about this and, to this end, I built the shop here on this site... for 'slacker backers'... the store is fully functional,...

Since living in China, Hong Kong and now... Thailand, it has been about 7 years since I've properly experienced winter. ...

@EvilKing... for all I know, you may be exactly right in every single detail. Seith keeps me totally in the dark too.
I swear, there is an entire library of books in you, eager to leap from your fertile mind onto the page.

A pox on you EvilKing
But seriously, it is a good idea... an updated, detailed description doesn't exist at the moment. I might even do a press page, with a downloadable image pack.
I'll suggest it to Seith
