I should have spent more time last night integrating products of trig functions, but I just couldn't stop playing this game. It's got a little something for all the neurotic sub-personalities of your inner gamer. There's resource management. There's gunplay. There's economics. I think the thing that kept me so compelled was that the overall feel was not unlike an open-ended hybrid of Fallout and Oregon Trail.
Maestro, an appropriate tune, please?

That performance of Caravan is fire. I think I'm in love with that YouTube clone and the way it suggests similar songs across the bottom.
If I had to pick one all-time favorite song, it would have to be Caravan. My favorite version is when The Dirty Dozen Brass Band does it, but they weren't on YouTube.
If you have to settle, you can do a lot worse than to settle with Les Paul.
Hmmm, global warmings worst nightmare in a matter of 5 years for the setting.
And I usually love games set in a complete fantasy setting.
You create something! Like inward singing! Or a flash game that makes the Newgrounds weekly top 20!
Always naysaying!
Sit in your Ivory Tower and nap!
Caravaneer? Does that make a truck driver a Convoyeer?
