But still, you could at least be more specific, and it's still very retarded (literally) how you guys zip single files like that. I had to spend 10 minutes unzipping it (with an unregistered program :wallbash just to get one little file.[/b]
It is not retarded. Compressing files allows us to save space on the server (so that it can be used for more and bigger games) and bandwidth - both your and ours - needed to download them.

If it takes you 10 minutes to unpack a single file, it's your fault. Learn how to operate WinZip/WinRar properly and stop whining.

Those zip programs cost money, money I'm not willing to spend considering I can unzip them by moving them to my newer computers and then returning the unzipped versions. I still don't understand how it's necessary to zip a file that is under 30 kb in size; you might as well just zip all the midis individually as well.

I found something rather amusing in the game. Did anyone else notice that you can mess with your mentat's face by clicking on his mouth, eyes, or nose?

You can use the free evaluation version of Winzip for unzipping. Total commander (www.ghisler.com) has a built-in zipping/unzipping support. Or you can use free 7-zip program (www.7-zip.org).

This may come to you as a surprise since the game is only 15 years old, but YES we did notice that.
