Speaking of VBB's playthrough, he pronounces Apogee with the accent on the second syllable. How do you pronounce it? I always put the accent on the first syllable. But when I google it, it sounds like the accent is on the third!

I always thought it was pronounced A-Po-gee like "Aperture" or "Honorificabilitudinitatibus" :p

Remember folks, apogee is the counterpart of perigee. Thus the second syllable is 'gee': http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/apogee Listen and be amazed!

VBB, don't feed the trolls.

It'll spoil their dinner.

If you feed them after midnight, will they turn into forum ad spammers?

Not being able to sleep after eating is merely a silly stereotype. I can never get any rest without my two midnight slices of bread. :p

I am not trolling and I'll prove it.

Reasons this game is great:

- It's in a red planet like mars.
- a space suit (not a football helmet)
- points of crystals
- lots of crazy enemies
- a wizard
- good characters
- good story with no internal contradictions or plot holes
- music
- the preview screens aren't bad. They showcase what a variety of awesome stuff is in gateworld.

I'd be interested in him doing a brief playthrough. SO we can see how the game was meant to be played, VBB did a poor job.
