So want it!
Also, I thought this was going to be released via STEAM?

I thought so too, but they seem to have invented their own distribution system for this game...
Which means they either want profit, or they don't like something about steam.
They are distributing on Xbox live though.

ditto on the bought.. and it looks like that playgreenhouse site isnt so bad afterall.. since it didnt require installation of anything else (eg: their version of steam) to download the game installer.

judging by the fact that they put a guy in the cells for answering his mobile in court... i would say NO! (oh unless you mute the sound) ;)

Well I just finished the game and feel i can now comment on it -
very cool. It only had two things that annoyed me: total lack of pathfinding for your character (getting stuck on scenery items was easy), and the forced camera angles (there were points there i felt i was missing something, even a simple rotate camera command would've been nice). Aside from those two minute things, i loved the game.
I loved the effort they went to to get your 3D avatar into the 2D cutscenes. I loved the look of the 3D world. the combat mechanics were excellent (though i think i'll need a new spacebar damn you gabe!). i really enjoyed the story, being a lover of Neil Gaiman's work this one really struck a chord (mind you i dont think Neil would advocate hanging hobos from hooks). aside from the pathfinding and camera bits mentioned above, i felt the overall gameplay was quite decent. nice work tycho and gabe, nice work indeed. i only hope Jack Thompson gets a chance to play it before he goes to jail =)
well worth the $20. Even if you hate penny arcade - get the game because it's well made.
