Looking forward to it!

High fives all around.

...Why tomorrow though?
Didn't TheeToe say in the Report that the new version is coming out next week?

If you have a source for this claim please share it, Urist.

Also last time I checked the whole communal download meant the site went down lol...so likely we wouldn't see each other

[Adrian]

How about instead of a communal download, we do a communal torrent?
Not having the website be broken sounds like a good idea for when the inevitable PCGamer and Roguebasin etc. guys come see why this corner of the internet got so loud all of a sudden.

Tarn, if you're reading this, put DF2014 up in a torrent to keep the servers happy.

And it's not like DF is a paid game or anything, there's little to no downside to making a torrent for it.

*high fives*

I was half expecting July 4th too.  I've been wrong with every notion regarding release for the past two years, so let's put a cap on/in this by being wrong four more times in the last week.  DF 2014 tomorrow guys, wooo!!!

And if it was the creator that made the torrent, I don't see any legal problems.

Yeah, i don't get why some people start screaming bloody murder, i mean piracy, the moment someone uses the word "torrent".
The protocol is brilliant for when you want to distribute copies of something to a large number of people without overloading servers.

Because companies can have the website that aids torrents shut down and the companies that run the servers make money by going if you want more downloads pay us more..

But the protocol itself is not illegal.
And if Tarn and Zach are the first seeders on the network, those companies need to come up with the chewbacca-est defense ever if they want to take any kind of action.

Not really, "Torrenting legal is a gateway to torrenting illegally", works with weed.

[smjjames]

Guys, they said they'd release next week, but anythings possible.

[Blastbeard]

The community's collective attitude towards the impending release.

[MagmaFly]

"Yeah, I was hoping to release it on the 1st, but it'll be a good thing to hang on to it for a few more days"


Says nothing about it being released next week. Generally a few is 3-5 anyways so July 4th is quite possible... *Fingers crossed*
