Gromit Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Sorry guys... I just couldn't resist! I think I will wait until very late in the wee hours to download and avoid the temptation to join the refresh monkey ranks once again... The Horror... the horror........

Chad Harrison Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Official word is now "sometime during the day", day being in EST. I hate it when important information is only given vaguely! I can see it now, 9000+ CMers here on the forum, refreshing all afternoon hoping that it will be released early!! So much for downloading it overnight with my 56k . . .

Agua Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Yup, definitely going to be a clusterfook unless the demo is distributed to the likes of Fileplanet and 3DGamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 We don't need no stinkin' demo. Demos are for those trying to decide on a purchase. We all know we're going to buy CMBB. I'm gonna pass on the demo stampede, and get all my goodies at once with the real deal. What a day that will be! Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treeburst155 Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 No, really. I mean it. Redwolf and I are going to install the full game on the same Sunday and do an immediate TCP/IP with no manual reading or practice. The TCP/IP game will be our first look at CMBB. It will be easy to wait due to being busy, busy, and actually quite busy. Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treeburst155 Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 T3 or not Captain Wacky, if you're not downloading within the first 3 minutes the demo is available, you'll be SOL for at least 72 hours. Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't plan on sleeping that night either, and lucky me my roomate is going home for the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Wacky Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 Originally posted by Michael emrys: What's SCORTRAMID?

On the second day we arrived in San Diego we got a powerpoint brief from the CORTRAMID CO. Among the No-No's like Tijuana and drinking ( ), we were advised that THIS IS NOT SCORTRAMID, referring to the ban on "adult relations" between male & female mids Get it? SCORTRAMID? Huh? huh?

Chad Harrison Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 I dont understand why BFC doesnt enlist some help for the first day of downloading? It would be better for everyone, but maybe its the same reason why CM will never be in US stores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Havermeyer- Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 Excellent point. I will use the intervening period to NOT read this forum, and close out at as many CMBO games as I can. I doan wanna know nuthing till the full game is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GriffinCheng+ Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 Matt and guys from BFC, Any plans on mirrors on the release day? I can understand you people are working extra efforts on the demo so I cannot ask for too much. TIA. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wacky Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 Originally posted by Michael Dorosh: Our humourous acronyms tend to be more Germanic.

Except when the RSM is around, of course.Meh, all else pales in comparison to SCORTRAMID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laxx Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 A suggestion, perhaps the lucky few that gets to download first could upload to an alternative place eg. Gnutella network ? that could help lighten the load. laxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
