Anticipation.

anything worth waiting for shouldn't be rushed, so let your bacon cool while you wait[8|][;)][:D]

Mixed emotions here. I want a quality product. But, I'd really, really like to be playing this weekend.

But then it's not up to me. How about an update on the release date then?

update 1, most people's hard at testing, just the odd one asleep

I think a better thread title would have been "Anticipation" - queue Carly Simon.

Anticipation, anticipation
Is makin' me late
Is keepin' me waitin'


After I posted this I remembered that many on this board weren't even born when the commercial came out (c1977) so:

Well since its Carly, I'll throw in "Nobody Does it Better" than the Fury gang, and all the others, well "Your so Vain"![:D]

Long/boring/pointless post:


When the first Strategic Command was built, I downloaded the demo. It ended about 1940 something. I was able to take poland, france, hungary, yugo, romania, bulgaria... and then the demo ended! Just when things were about to get interesting! That's the best demo I ever played regarding getting the player to take out his credit card and demand more! No brainer purchase. That was before full game electronic dl sales (instant gratification) So I had to wait 7-10 bidness days to get my grubby hands on the full game. An eternity.

I grew up playing Axis and Allies board game vs my Dad. So I turned Dad onto SC1. He loved it, he still plays it vs comp, at the time we played tcp/ip almost a hundred games prolly. SC2 came out, I got it. Dad is in his 70's, so he didn't turn onto it right away, but eventually he did and we play, always have a game going. Just today I took SC2 turns vs Dad.

I recently rebuilt Dad's computer. He wanted to be sure SC1, SC2 (of course b/c we still play it all the time) and his hoyle card games all work. This is important.

I guess my point is. We've had thousands of hours enjoying this franchise. Looking forward to the new one.

I never could comprehend this saying. Waiting sucks, plain and simple.

"Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives." -- stupid American soap opera

"All we are is dust in the wind, dude." -- Bill & Ted

Anyway - bring on the game! Waiting is for the birds.

Finally - that Carly Simon song was played in the Heinz ketchup commercial! So, we come full circle!

I'm kidding about tapping and twiddling my thumbs. I only check in every week or so. Are you done yet?
