What? It's been one day?!? Unacceptable. Is it possible that time has slowed somehow?
-
I've finally subscribed by RSS to the dev. log. I will not forget!
-
I haven't used the RSS yet, but I generally tend to check the Dev Log about 10 times a day. Seems to be about as effective.
-
This is how I feel, not to mention the chance that it might take longer than a week...

NAY SAYER! BURN THE CHICKEN! I could go for a chicken sandwich >.>

Okay, one !!chicken sandwich!!. That'll be $52697936598237645981629854619654827459698376598372695487263987546298374659287365498726435.99 sir.

I think that might be slightly more money than actually exists.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to set stuff on fire deliberately? Or to pump magma into our bakery?

The Earth needs to upgrade. FPS is at unacceptable low.

In order to improve the universe's frame rate, we must all throw rocks into volcanoes and then do absolutely nothing, worldwide, for a week, to take pressure off pathfinding.

or maybe throw them into the large hadron collider to atom-smash them instead.

Not to mention to throw all available animals into tiny pits.
-
And we need to reduce the pathing! Use public transports!

Everybody take a break. Drink 20 gallons of whiskey and take a 2 week nap. You will be well rested, and DF 2010 will be out.

What about the poor children, barred from the solace of alchoholic respite?
Raahleeese... I started playing like last month so the lack of update hadn't bothered me but now! Whaa~

They're fine.
-
That general time period is going to be awesome. Clash of the Titans comes out, I get a new TV, and (last but most) DF2010.
Will take a few more days for it to be playable, though, apparently.
-

I do that, but eventually the page gets cached, and when an update finally does come out I can't see it.

I have been doing my part by locking myself inside my house, so I cannot path anywhere.

I haven't left my Xx-Silicon Personal Computer-xX for a good while, that might help.

Hard Refresh. ;) FireFox: Ctrl Shift R
-
I plan on passing the time screaming that there aren't any animal traps around to put my small creatures into, despite the hundreds of animal traps around. Seems to work for my latest fort's dwarfs.
-
I'm getting paranoid that I'm going to get hit by a meteor sometime this week, before I get the chance to play the new version. It seems so plausible, somehow.

I am guilty of the exact same habit. With hard refresh.
-
What are you talking about?
-
If you don't stop screaming "are we there yet" I swear we will take this forum and drive stright back to the 2d version. ;)
-
Everyday the first thing I do is check the dev logs, it breaks my heart to see no new news.

Me too, and during all breaks at work, and on the bus ride home.

Who knows, that might actually work. Perhaps that's why some weeks feel longer than others.

*whispering* Are we there yet?

*whispers* Hey, stop getting on my side!

lol, sigged

I have increasing paranoia because April Fool's Day is coming up…

My first sigging! awesome!
-
I bet on thursday!
-
I bet on thursday!
Friday, for me.
But I really don't want to have to ruin my plans by calling my friends and saying "Hey, I can't make it to the movies, sorry. Urist just caught fire again.. Yeah, Urist! No it's not a game, it's Dwarf Fortress!... Hello?"
-
I bet Saturday, 'cause I like to burst bubbles. ;D
-
I bet friday, because that will be the day my three-day weekend starts :D.
-
I bet he'll do a fake release Wednesday, then release it Thursday. On account of Wednesday being April 1. Although, he may fake us out and actually release it then, and somehow (probably through not sleeping at all for the next three days) release the Mac version on Thursday. Just because he could.
I'm so impatient! Blarg!
-
Of course, the moment he announces the release, thousands of people are going to be downloading it all at once. Watch the ivory server towers rock and sway...
So who's volunteering to NOT download it in the first 24 hours? (waiting for suckers...)

I wasn't going to anyway, because it'll be incredibly buggy.
-

No kidding. I couldn't believe it when I read the dev log. Good thing I wasn't drinking anything.
-
I probably won't, truth be told. We're low on bandwidth, so it'll wait until I get back to school next Tuesday.
If I can manage it.
-

so it'll cause the downloading version of the Slashdot effect?

But isn't that the fun of it?

I think maybe a torrent should be used.

You know what the problem is, right?
Urist Forumgoer cancels task: checking DF status x1000000
That'll kill any framerate right there.
-

I was going to suggest that, but who will upload it?

whoever is DF2010Downloader#1 (though it would be impossible to tell who actually is first, maybe whoever is 1487th?)
-
Does Toady mind if someone uploads it? I'd be quite willing to, or at least help seed, because I have a fiber optic connection.
-
Is there any reason why he wouldn't be able to upload it to filefront? It's not just for mainstream games, you know.
-
*F5* Are we there yet? *F5* I can already smell it. *F5* Damnit, not yet *F5*
..that's pretty much my feelings.
-

Because FileFront is an abomination before God? Seriously though...FF sucks. I'd rather see it on something like Depositfiles or SendSpace or Rapidshare than FileFront.
-
max 2 days now....yay

Not necessarily. "About a week" means that it might take more or less. So a release might come at saturday or sunday too.
-
Let's also remember that his blog update stated that he was "on schedule" so it could mean we may see it on Friday.
But like everyone has said, don't hold your breath over it. It could be a day or two afterward.
Either way, the anticipation is driving me wild with the hunger to play the (buggy) new version.
-

You mean the "Still on track here" in the devlog? Or does he have another blog?
-
I wonder if the release is already done, and Toady is just browsing the forums enjoying our rampant speculation about what day it will come out on...
-
Should I figure out how to share a torrent by then, I'll do that too.
-
I believe someone has already volunteered to make a torrent of the new DF. Check the thread on mirrors:

two more days oh god
-
Yea, the anticipation is just huge and all....

Compared to FileFront, Rapidshare sounds like quite a good choice.

TOMORROW!

It has to be tommorow. The months waiting are paying off. The first thing im doing is lighting something on fire and sowing it back up. :)
-
TOMORROW!
Tomorrow is April Fools day. At least where Toady is.

i don't care! do the DF dance!
