Have the <i>Combat RPG of 2004</i> jokes already been beaten to death? I think so, so none from me here.

Thanks, <b>Tara</b>!

I think I just ejaculated.

 

I guess that means Gamer's Hell was wrong about it shipping this year.

 

:shock:

 

I'm looking forward to the reviews...

 

In the spirit of CRPG martyrdom/masochism I'll buy it as soon as I see it.

Alas, the local EB seem ignorant of this game. (some say that might be a good thing :wink: )

 

I was at my local EB, picking up my copy of GW, the kat behind the counter nodded and smiled as I explained to him how DL was going to own GW so surely my local EB store knows about DL.

The kat also told me stalker is still on for june release.

 

Make sure you post yer name so we can go burning, looting, raping and a-killing together.

I got served by the ignorant one it seems.

 

I predict a gamespot review score of 5.3

 

OK. Wasn't this game delayed until 2006?

 

Nah.
Until "mid-May".
So this is only slightly earlier than I expected

 

Gamer's Hell made that claim, which is why I said it looks like they were wrong about that.

 

Did they fall behind in their payments?

 

they were only given a case of beer and some corn nuts

 

That sounds like just the sort of privisions I'll need for when I play it...

And pizza from Hell's Pizza and everything will be dandy
