I dont know what you are talking about.

I wake up, log on, look at the AE forum for the much anticipated word that it has gone gold.... go to work (spend most of the day planning how to save Java) come home, log on, look at the AE forum for the much anticipated word that it has gone gold....sleep (optional), and then start all over again. [:D]

Ahh, the wonders of WitP-AE celibacy. I have not a care in the world and can scoff at the poor souls addicted to this insidious version of crack.

Lights pipe, inhales.....

Well...I cannot deny being a heathen....At home, I am barefoot as much as possible..My wife from Wisconsin thinks she married a hillbilly..In the winter, I walk the wolf in my bare feet......

I would say your words are true to the mark. I do not like to talk about what amounts to a mental disability but I am not able to make long range plans in things such as games. I can manage tactical/operational games much better but its games like WitP that I love but have problems thinking ahead and paying attention to detail that is my problem.
I can enjoy the game for its historical nature but in AE with even more depth and a longer learning curve I will have to see. Heck I can not even play the Jap side against the AI because I have no clue how to do the production.
Perhaps one day I will get into a PBEM game with someone who says they are not good either and have an AAR for all the good players to get a laugh or two out of.

Hi All
August 7th would be my take on the release date! (Guadalcanal landings) Having said that all my other efforts to pick the date were wrong so I will hope its sooner than this.

I feel your pain. I'm going on 67 and I find it harder every day to manage mental tasks that were slam dunks when I was younger and middle age. Concentration for more that a few minutes or hour is difficult. I constantly have to read and re-read/or relearn instructions and procedures.. Setting up TVs, remote controls, computer systems, etc end up being long drawn tasks with much frustration.

These things won't discourage me from buying and playing (albeit solo) AE

Criminy, not another thread like this.

What are you guys, fifteen? The developers must feel like a parent on a long distance drive, constantly turning around and going "We'll get there when we get there!" It's starting to get annoying. Do you think the constant badgering, even the ones in jest, are doing anyone any good? I wouldn't be surprised if more of the developers throw up their hands and go "To hell with these guys!"

If it was easy enough to do, why aren't the complainers doing it?

To the contrary. If you look at what's been posted over the past week, there ain't nuthin. Nobody's even complaining anymore. I think everyone's pooped of posting. Everything's been discussed, explained, complained about. There's nothing left but the wait. Since there's little left to talk about, but checking the forum and posting is a habit, this thread is just a place to post about . . . nothing. Hmmm . . . reminds me of Seinfeld.

Need a serious topic? How about this: what snack and food combo you going to have when you boot up AE for the first time? Gotta figure it's going to turn into one of those 4 a.m. affairs so I'll want something good.

what snack and food combo you going to have when you boot up AE for the first time?

If playing the Allies, chips and a couple beers. If Japan edamame and chilled sake [:)]

didn't we all have this conversation before?? In a different thread? Or am i going senile too??

Anyway, what the hell.... COFFEE, and lots of it. And if i'm really lucky my wife will bring me a plate of something delicious sometime before she goes to bed. life is tough.....

I've had worse.

It sounds like you never had chow cooked in a helmet, or used coffee filters made of old boot socks. Yum, yum. We actually looked forward to 25 year old C rations. But, not the ones with scrambled eggs and ham. Those would make you puke just reading the label.

Dang it! The memories have made me sick. Gotta run .......

I've seen those HM meals at Wal-Mart everytime my wife and I are shopping, and I never have tried them. Now, after reading that I will probably stick to the usual... Fruity Cheerios...10 spoonflls of champion if you ask me

[Crimguy]

There is only one breakfast: Peanut Butter Crunch!

[FOW]

i'm not so much worried about food or drink - heck I'm sure I can go 2-3 days stuck in front of the computer.
 
What concerns me the most is getting the time off work. I must go warn my manager that a personal issue is likely to arise sometime in the next 2 months (?????) and that I'll need to take time off with little to no warning. Mmm must catch her on a good day .........

[oldspec4]

OMG..this brings back beaucoup (not so good) memories. All that's missin' is the P-38 can opener.

I was soooo disappointed to see Outback's cheese fries with Ranch dressing at the top of the list. I love that stuf. How do the Aussies eat it? I mean, I'm sure while grilling roos on the barbie they have a little Dutch oven making the cheese fries, right? Or is is cheese chips?
