Just want to let people know, being the good beta tester I am, I've cooked something up for you all... Now we're just working out how to get this little treat out to you... be watching and waiting! [8D]

Yes, he's definitely a beta-tester. I'm not sure who LarryP might've been referring to, but it wouldn't have been SoM.

Yeah Webco, Larry and I talk on the beta forum, so it wasn't me. I said that this Sherlock guy wasn't a tester, maybe that is what you saw?

Folks, try hard to see the positive side to this! It just means the devs are working hard to get this game perfect![8D] (So much for my previous "glass half-empty comments" )

No pc game is perfect at release anyway, so they might as well just release it already [:'(]
There'll be an equal number of bugs anyway, regardless if its released today or next week, with thousands of people starting to play it as opposed to a few dozen beta testers during the development.

While I like the sentiment, Tycow, I do what I do for the good of the community! [:)]

The information is all over the forum and on the company site and on the publisher site. :)

But, yeah, I understand. You've probably looked over most already. You want MORE information. Heh...you want the game.

Yup, I've seen everything. If the game is to be released this week then there is a serious lack of new videos (that are promised) but I don't even mind if the game is not released until a later date...I would just like more frequent updates!!

I apologise for my bout of impatience. [:(]

If they stop to do updates, they aren't working on the game. You can't have it both ways.
