Hey, no need to get uppity. All you hadda do was ask.

The movies are tough to get out because they take about 10 minutes to burn onto a CD. Yes, I could send them for the price of postage, handling and the disk, but honestly, I thought everyone would just get pissy about me "selling" a demo (to be perfectly clear for those of you in Yorba Linda ;), that means I'm not *selling* them, but I'd be accused of it no matter how many places I put--shipping and handling only!).

I'll think about it and let you know if I can figure out a way to get you all the movies. I've been waiting on Headfirst to send me smaller files, but so far have had no luck. When they do, I'll post them on the website of course.

As for Lost Colony, who said after GenCon? Certainly not me. And didn't you see that big ol' schedule I posted just last week that said July? That means Origins with any luck.

And I get some group telling me they're doing a DL conversion for Half-Life, Quake, Dungeon Siege, and now Neverwinter Nights just about every week. Thus far, no one's done it, though I'd love to see it.
