    "I am a terrifying....Terrorist... Are you scared?"
    "No.."
    "God dammit! Oh, err, i mean Allah dammit..."

    "so where did you train to be a terrorist?"
    "At the Suicide Bomber facility"

    GoG is brilliant. I've used them loads.

    Plus, you suggest a game they should get and sell, and if enough people get on board, they'll do their damndest to get it.

    Highly recommend.

    I got Return to Krondor off of them a couple of weeks back. Graphics are pretty tonk but its FUN in a way very few modern games are.
    I'm not always this cynical. I am usually worse...

    How would you rate them as an employer?
