Company News We're in for a surprise

Gaider's getting a hair transplant.

Hey devs and publishers, I'm fucking sick of mysterious countdowns on your websites. Just announce shit from now on, okay?

 

[pipka]

Hype is imminent. Brace for impact.

Ninja edit: vehicle DLC for ME2 is already out.

Thanks for the input, "acquiring" it now

Where from? I found a direct link to get it from EA/Bio's website. All the other ME2 DLCs also seem to be there if you know the name of the files.

BTW mods, would posting such a link break the anti-piracy rule? it is from the developer/publisher's website after all!

Just ignore the countdowns. Or better yet don't visit their websites. Except to get stuff like DLCs obviously.

Yes. Just send the link by PM to people who want it.

I hope it's an RPG this time!

It's most likely about TOR, especially given this bit from earlier in the year (TOR Forums, Announcement section):

While we have not announced a specific date, we can confirm that we are targeting a spring 2011 release for Star Wars™: The Old Republic™. We’ve got a lot of exciting updates and reveals planned throughout 2010, including the first-ever hands-on testing for the game. It’s not too late to sign up to be a game tester, so go to www.swtor.com/tester and sign up today. We can’t wait to share more about the game with you as we progress through the year, so make sure you stay tuned to the official website for details.

What do you think is the point of these things?

It's not like anyone is going to actually watch it count down to zero, there's no point in thinking "day x i need to check back on the bio site to see what the announcement was" because every media outlet will flood you with that info anyway.

You won't be able to *not* hear about the announcement the day it comes out, so really, what is the countdown for?

Blizzard's countdown for Diablo 3 was p. badass.

Demonoid. They have a whole pack in a single download there (with the exception of the latest ones).

There are people that pirate this crap? What is wrong with you? Are you ill? Everything is better than playing this kind of DLC or even contaminating your computer with these satanic files - washing dishes, for example. Or clean the toilet bowl. Or tend to the garden! All these things are more entertaining and useful than downloading (let alone playing) ME 1/2. And its DLC for that matter.

Hype. No one cares about the actual number onscreen, what matters is that it's decreasing at a steady rate YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAH

At this point I was expecting a long winded rant about piracy.

Then I saw the rest of the post and was all

ME isn't horrible enough to not remove from ineventory and play through once.

New Next Gen Game

Fucking bullshit.

Everything about "DLC" and/or EAware is so irrelevant it's not even worth posting about it, except quoting someone and agreeing.

[Freelance Henchman]

Gaidars going to "fight" a "bear".

Not "fighting" in the sense of doing battle, probably.
