"These are the final countdowns..."
« on: September 24, 2007, 06:50:00 am »
It's almost here!

quote:
Cave-ins are as far as they need to be for now, though there are some side issues. I've filled in the testing information on the Next Release Task List that I mentioned a while ago on the forums. These are the final countdowns, and the numbers should move fairly rapidly for the most part. That 2000 thing shouldn't be scary. The 400 one will take longer.

quote:

handle testing notes (478)
tests (32)
sort new dev notes I (127)
sort new dev notes II (2098)
sort new dev notes III (2)

I'm almost twitching with excitement. But I'm a bit worried about that subjective word "longer."

Let's hope longer means two days instead of one day =\. What are these dev notes anyway?

I really really think he's taunting us! Isn't only 1 of those 5 things actually necessary to release the game?  :)

Then again, I also look up to those ppl here who have altruistically said things like "Take your time, Toady!" and "We don't care about the game if you're not here to make it!".

How can I not add pressure while still expressing my angst and DF-withdrawal anxieties...?

Back to SB methinks and the vicarious aggression....

But what do I know?
Everything I say should be taken with atleast 1 tsp. of salt, and another liter of Dwarven Wine is recommended.

"I thought it was the size of the others!" said Vanon. "I guess it was just standing further away!"

All I have to say is...I have no problem with Dwarf Fortress NOT being released on a Monday.  In fact I'm almost certain that my boss would prefer it be released Friday night (even if he's never heard of it).

So just after reading this topic, and walking out towards the living room I go by the living room and guess what's on the god damn TV? Someone had left it on VH1 Classic and damn if it wasn't a live video of The Final Countdown.

It's going to be stuck in my head all day.
