Matrix Games Forums

Twas the night before computer World in Flames
When all through the land
Not a counter was stirring,
Not even a chit;
The computers were humming
By their internet connections,
In hopes Matrix would soon be there.
The wargamers were all snug in their beds,
While visions of world conquest danced in their heads;
And mamma in her kerchief and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long fall nap,
When out of the computer their arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the computer I flew like a flash,
Refreshed the screen and hit enter with a bash,
The monitor, on the table gave an eerie glow
To all the objects in the room,

So you think you married the wrong sister?
Well let me tell you this, mister
I've always been a secret lover of wargames,
And they don't come any better than World In Flames.
You want to play? Well I'm just the same,
So don't just sit there, download the game.
But I promise you one thing, you're in for a helluva fight
Cos no one messes with Mrs Warspite.

Why did I just rap that out loud?

I'm slim shady, yes I'm the real shady
All you other slim shadys are just imitating
So won't The Real Slim Shady please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up? [:D]

If you ever do that again I will have you summarily executed on spot.

Have a nice day.[:)]

What? Just so I know, what are you to execute me for? Appalling poems or quoting Eminem?

Okay but can you leave a gap between ready-aim and fire? About 50 years should do the trick.

The latter of course. The poem shall be etched in stone though.

Wait for it

For your tombstone! [/dramatic music]

Its alright for you - you live in the US. Here in little old Englandsville I've got to go to work in a minute and concentrate on that stuff, knowing that people will be downloading the game before me [:@].

I awoke early to find SamuraiProgrammer eating the cookies and drinking the milk I set out. Paradise lost.

In NZ we are the first nation in the world to see each new day, ive seen the 7th come and about to go....its 8:30pm and no sign as yet?

Titan, one of the mods said on another thread that noon Eastern US time is realistic if there aren't any hitches. So I'd say you'll be waiting till morning.
