We are finally getting progress on ending this shut down, because Obama is finally negotiating with Republicans (Even though Obama refuses to call it "negotiating"). Even the stock market got better, when Obama decided to act like an adult and talk to Republicans.

Hey, did you notice that even McCain acknowledges that the shutdown is pretty much the GOP's fault?

Did you notice Leon Panetta, Democrat and former Secretary of Defense under Obama, blames the current dysfunction of the federal government on the unwillingness to negotiate? It is not impressive that you found a Republican who didn't want to have a debt ceiling battle. McCain is a veteran politician who is disgruntled that he isn't a leader of the Republican party and that his colleagues rarely listen to him on debt-related matters, because the federal debt has risen expensively during his time in congress.

I know, you don't care, but I don't appreciate you [sic]ing my words when they're right.

I feel the same way when it comes to your constant [sic]ing.  It is annoying and unnecessary, so I expect you to not be a hypocrite and stop adding needless [sic]s.

I hardly think refusing to concede certain unnegotiable[sic] points is a fault in the democratic process -- it merely reveals it.

That a word is less common than its mostly synonymous alternative [nonnegotiable] does not mean that it is wrong. The two words also have slightly distinct connotations, unnegotiable leaning more in the direction of "it is not possible to negotiate this", a connotation I use not wholly literally to indicate that while it is technically possible, it can't be done seriously.

I've now entered data for all of the expanded Grass tileset's 362 tiles. Super boring, but it had to be done!

I've also added in a portrait for Lakshmi Bana in the Kovit campaign, and added portraits to all of the various character death monologues.

I've updated the installers online.

We now have a complete expanded Grass tileset! I plan to update the TileData XML file for this tileset today so it becomes fully useable.

Thanks! To answer your questions:

1. It's that expensive because I'm simply duplicating two of the game's Kickstarter tiers. (See e.g.)
2. The main campaign is still early in development; the plan is to have it be somewhere on the order of 10-20 hours long.

If you are flying due to it but end your turn on lava/water, would and should you take damage at the start of the round?

I believe the answer is yes: if you lose flying at the start of a turn and you're over water or lava, you'll fall into it immediately and take damage. I could be wrong, though--it might be worth checking to make sure.

Played the demo. Like the gameplay a lot. Been waiting ages for a game like this to show up on PC! Just wondering;

1. The game seems quite expensive for an early starer indie , well, to be precise, the game editor is very expensive ! $50 ! Why is that ?
2. What are we going to get in terms of single player campaign? What state of completion is it in at present?

Lan Giniewski has sent me finished Kinetic Pull animations for the Mentalist! I also got Lorne to send me the 7-frame prototype animation he started last year for the Mentalist's Levitate animation; I spent about an hour expanding it into a full 16-frame animation, and I'm quite pleased with the results. As of right now, the Mentalist is fully animated.

Theoretically, the deficit would be reduced because Obamacare is a massive tax.  One of the issues with this theory is that the Congressional Budget Office made did the math before Obama got rid of large sources or revenue by giving Obamacare exceptions to Big Business and special interests.  Time and time again, the CBO finds Obamacare will spend more, tax more, and reduce the deficit less than they thought the year before. I wouldn't be surprised that in the future that the CBO will estimate the deficit increases due to Obamacare.  Also, Obamacare is hurting the economy, and reducing workers from full-time to part-time.  In fact, I was only allowed to work for 29 hours a week during the summer.  Republicans also want to get rid of the massive tax that is Obamacare, because of the economic theory that says tax cuts increase government revenue.  If Obamacare was appealed, then the private sector will grow much quicker and therefore have more money to pay in taxes.  The extra revenue from economic growth will help reduce the deficit.

Whether Obamacare increases or decreases the deficit doesn't really matter at this point, because Republicans seem willing to ask for a concession unrelated to Obamacare.  Meanwhile, the Americans are waiting for Obama to end his "No Negotiation" political theater and talk to Republicans, so this government shutdown will end.  Everyone knows that Obama will eventually have to talk to Republicans, yet the president is willing to let Americans suffer in the meantime in order to try to score political points.

That would be a great argument if it weren't for the fact that Obamacare actually reduces the deficit: http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/healthcare/299895-cbo-obamacare-repeal-will-increase-the-deficit
