What does it mean? I've search through a entire lexicon of geekspeak, leetspeak and er . . freak speak but I see no mention of SSN?
Enlightened me, which despite the denotation is NOT an invitation to flame me.
Help a brother out . . .

if you go to the CMBB demo page they just stuck up, linked from the main page, you can find a link to the demo, but wait about an hour til I'm finishedOriginally posted by ryddle:I don't know about the web page, I started the download via their ftp site a few minutes before they reopened their web server.

Hehehe listen very carefully. Assuming the Battle Front folks are hep to the hole am/pm time thing, the downloads will be post 'AROUND' O-hundred hours, 0:00, that's the September 1st side of the gap between late tonight and early tomorrow morning. All times are ESTOriginally posted by Kurtz:Now I'm getting really confused!
Is 12 AM at midnight or at lunchtime?
If the people on the US west coast get it at 9 PM, the demo would have to be released at midnight, right? And they would get it at 9 PM tonight (August 31) If it is released at noon, they would get it at 9 AM (in the morning) and the time in central Europe would be 6 PM (18:00). But if it is released at midnight (in 9 hrs 40 min) I would be able to download it tomorrow morning.
:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:
Do I make sense? probably not....
Since it is past my bedtime, I too will be needing a Refresh Monkey, preferably a nocturnal one, though I have no problem chaining the little beast to my keyboard and shining the 300 watt lamp I use for interogating my GF on it until the download is complete or the monkey dies.

It's just that, well, it's just that I've been refreshing since yesterday just in case the demo goes up extra early. And I recognize YOUR type when I see it. It's like I'll be waiting outside the ticket shop for 72 hours for my Two Towers tickets, with wig cuttings glued to my feet, then you come 2 seconds before they open and cut in line. Then you excuse yourself with some excuse like, 'sorry mate, I'm in my second year of college, you know — exams and all'. Sod. Friggin College boy. Hope you get beat up by REAL people next time you venture off your little idyllic campus.
Oh and I do have a rash, btw. You probably caused it./QUOTE]
In my own defense;
I work on an idyllic campus, I'm not currently a student.
I hold what is promoted as an advanced degree though you could'nt tell it by looking, speaking, corresponding with me, or investigating my finances.
I live off campus in what is promoted as the 'real world' though I can't really see anything real from my living room.
I have been beaten upplenty by real people in the past, though hopefully with my advancing years those days are over.
I've been waiting for this game since I got the original right after it was released and I've been visiting these boards more or less regularly for a year, though I just signed up a couple of days ago. (this may well put you behind me in the download que[sic].)
In America only Popeye or members of the now defunct Village People call anybody 'mate.' I'm neither.
My actual line would be"Excuse me, but I'M running late and I REALLY want to get this [insert object of desire]. You don't mind if I get in front of you do?"
While I have been known to cause rashes they normally only result from intimate contact. In our case that's not possible. (see 'mate' entry)
Anyway I forgive you. Try sand paper on that rash. It will clear it right up.
Now if the demo would come out I'd get the last word

Does this mean that we Mac users won't be able to play CMBB multi-player?</font>Originally posted by MrSpkr:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by demoss:

I can see it now. Much lauded independant game company crashes the internet.
I have to work monday, that is I have to go to work whether I actually do any is another matter, so it is patently unfair that they won't post the demo until 'sometime' during the day Sunday. I'll be cheated of my full day of CM:BB. I demand immediate satisfaction like my life thus far has taught me to expect. I'd challege one of you to a duel but you folks are way to hard core and we all know I'd lose.

don't you folks who gave me the non answers have something better to do? Couldn't you be sequencing your back issues of soldier of fortune or something?
Face it. Instant gratification is the norm. I, as a wild-eyed caffiene addicted consumer, am accustomed to being able to cry and whine at any retail operation and receiving some form of pacification, if not an actual answer.
Those of you who A) ask me to be patient or
point out that you've been waiting as long as I (if not longer) clearly don't understand what life is really like.cry,whine, stomp your feet. You get what you want.
It's the American way.
Now then does anybody have any actual insight to bring to bear on my original question , which all kidding aside, is a fair one?
Cranky, cantankerous grognards, as charming as you might be, need not reply.
hehehe

When they say Sept 1 do they mean midnight Saturday or whenever they get back from church or wake up from their drunken stupor Sunday morning?
EST, GMT, or some other whacky time zone?
I know this sounds obsessive, immature, and impatient but I've been waiting forever for this game and I am, in fact, obsessive immature and impatient. Any information you have will keep me from simply hanging out in front of my machine for hours on end waiting for the demo to appear. Hell, If I know it won't be till the afternoon I might even get something productive done . . perish the thought . . on Sunday
All I really want is an EXACT time to begin my downloading bliss. Is that too much to ask?

What was said
What was meantThe demo will include two scenarios, as well as a tutorial. InBarbarossa to Berlin, players fight with historically accurate forces
that fought on World War II's Eastern Front. The scenarios start
with the German invasion of Russia in 1941 and end with the
Soviet's storming of Berlin in 1945.
Gimme a break this was my first post and I'm stuck at workThe demo will include two scenarios, as well as a tutorial. InBarbarossa to Berlin, players fight with historically accurate forces
that fought on World War II's Eastern Front. The scenarios in the tutorial, in a gesture meant to draw in the casual gaming community, include Wack-a-Mole, Ms Pacman and Tele-Tebby inspired battles that start
with the German invasion of Russia in 1941 and end with the
Soviet's storming of Berlin in 1945.
The game designers told Gamespot insiders that no Tele-Tubbies or Moles were harmed in the production of these whimsical scenarios
point out that you've been waiting as long as I (if not longer) clearly don't understand what life is really like.
New, what is this thing ask!
