SgtMuhammed Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I don't think they actually ever sleep and they don't think any of us do either. The last communication I got from Steve was at 3 a.m. It's coming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 From what I hear the entire team gets hopped up on amphetamines the week before release. So you can be sure they are pounding away on their keyboards like a lemur on crack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntarr Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 BFC and the Beta Team are literally working round O'clock. What keeps 'em goin you ask? Gunny Juice, just like Mom usta make.

Piecekeeper Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Whats the clock over there?.....can i go to bed now??....does is matter? I bet they are working 24/7. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Tiger Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Oh I believe they're working their asses off to get this out a.s.a.p. so it's not impossible that it could be later today. However, I suspect two things will have to happen first that will alert us that Marines module is about to become available. The first is that we'll get an announcement about who won the video competition. After all, the runners-up will receive a free copy of the module. Unless they're planning to refund the runners-up money, I think it's a safe bet this announcement will happen roughly on the day of the release. Secondly, Moon said somewhere else that we'll know it's close when we see the Marines supplementary manual posted up. Neither of these have happened yet but I'll be watching carefully today (and tomorrow, and the day after that etc) ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpheart23 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 We're all waiting, some of us more impatiently than others. It might be safe to assume the refresh monkey will be visiting my computer sometime this weekend. I've got that and a bottle of goose to tide me over in case the marines miss the boat(so to speak). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLeftFlank Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 BFC made a fortune over the last weekend shorting Lehman. They're now down in St. Barts on their yachts planning a buyout of Electronic Arts and Blizzard whose armies of programmers will immediately be put to work day and night to solve the Water Problem especially for y'all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give two _______ about water tiles. Just getting kinda anxious about the release is all, no harm no foul. Cheers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paper Tiger Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I expect that the sun is just rising on the east coast of the USA and these guys have to sleep. After all, it is just a game and nothing to ruin your health over so they'll probably get back to work on it in around 3 more hours or so. But please BFC, just give us poor tormented souls out here a bit of a break and tell us roughly when we can expect it. Please put us out of our collective misery and tell us that it'll be later today/tomorrow/sometime early next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melnibone Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 They have never released anything over a weekend as far as I can remember. I would not expect anything until next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Field Marshal Blücher Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I can't believe it. BFC has done it now: I am actually excited every time I open my Spam folder in the hopes of the email telling me I can download my pre-order being in there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aloko Mac Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Is it me or This online manual is impossible to read without zooming...and zooming each page is way too slooooooooooow. On the other hand there will be a print friendly pdf with the game, thanks for that, I always love printed manuals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
