I own Heroes of Might and Magic V

I had to go to six stores but I finally found it.

The highlight were the two employees at the first store I visited, an ebgames.

Me : I'm looking for Heroes V, do you guys have it?
A : What game?
Me : Heroes V
B : Oh, that's right, Heroes IV I think it is.
Me : It would have come in today.
A : What is it again?
Me : Heroes V.
B : Yeah, I think it's Heroes IV.
A : (Checks on system, the same system that the guy looked at yesterday, and then told me they expected the game yesterday or today) I don't see it.
B : It might go by a subtitle, like that Warcraft game, "The Ice Age", I think it was.
Me : I don't know the subtitle, but it should be under "Heroes V"
A & B : Third Base!

After I installed Ubisoft's DirectX 9.0C (much better than my DirectX 9.0C, evidently), I was able to play. And it's fun. But the system requirements ... are rather high.

And these high system requirements gave me high expectations about the game.

But then there's the payoff. You actually feel like you are right there with a person that doesn't need to move their mouth to talk.

Speaking of technical enhancements, my compliments to the new Penny Arcade web page. It harnesses the Awesome Power of "Ruby on Rails" to hardly ever work.
