Anyone else already planing on calling in sick on release day?

It's really tempting, isn't it?

Unless he's Evil, he'll declare it an holoday.

On the other hand, considering he does play DF, he probably is that.

This is a very good point. I highly recommend you refrain from pulling any *Bauxite Levers* that should mysteriously show up in your cubicle.

If I had a place to work at, I would. And if I were still in school, I would. But atm I'm basically sitting home all day until I manage to find work (damn this jobless small town) so I'm planning to spend my entire day and night on it.

Will I call in sick on release day?  I think I'm more likely to fake my own death on release day.

You guys don't have your priorities straight.  You need money to play DF (electricity & whatnot).  So, the obvious answer, and the one I'm going with, is play DF at work.  Get paid while you play.

Nah, I work at a game company. It'd be recognized as a game even by people who don't play it. Besides, that's what vacation time is for!

You silly people and your "work". What is this "work"? All I know how to do is add to my household idle count because I know not of this "work". DF-ho.
