    There are now at least three players in the game. I f***ing hate Impulse as well - it isn't smart enough to figure out that if I want Impulse installed to a secondary drive, the games should go there by default as well...unlike Steam which puts everything in subdirectories under the Steam folder. Really wish it wasn't required to play Sins and Demigod. They'd have gotten a lot more playtime if it wasn't the case.

    You don't need to launch impulse for Sins. Just to patch. I run Sins through Steam.

    So who here can program us a nice neat Icrontic branded client to wrangle these all into a nice neat bundled interface. Heck, I'd pay for that software.

    heh, Microsoft already did. It's called Windowsâ„¢ and you can put an icon for each game right on your desktop :wink:

    You can even get really fancy and put them in a folder if you want.
