Is there some way of preloading or something like that? I'd really like to go out and ride my bike a bit, and I guess I'll be home 3 hours after release.
Nope no preload.

I was so shocked when I heard this announcement. My friends and I played the Alien Swarm mod for years, and were following the development of the stand-alone game closely. For the past few years there has literally been no news whatsoever about the development and where the project was at. Requests for information on the forums were basically treated as a joke. I'd sort of assumed that the game was dead.

In any case, even if it's just as fun as the original it's going to be a blast!

Definitely going to download it and try it out tonight!

I'll be camping outside the E-steam store. The steam servers will probably feel violated by the downloads.

Sorry for the double post, but I think this bit of news deserves it. I just refreshed the store page and it changed from 1 hour until unlock to 3.

Yep, just saw that. Clearly, they have to go pick up more gerbils to power the servers today.

This looks pretty nice, but my PC isn't the best so I'm worrying about performance giving the requirements I've seen so far. I'll wait and see what I hear people say about it, if it's no worse than TF2 performance wise I'll have to give it a try, though with a slowish internet 2.5GB is quite a bit, so it'll take me a while to get round to it.

I foresee another steam small-death when this is released... The servers will be slow as hell.

I know it's unrealistic, but I can't help but imagine little bearded babies for dwarves. In my mind, they come out of the womb fully bearded. That's how the mother carries them around, too, she just drags them around by the beard or ties it to her belt. When the father's on duty, he just ties their beards together and the baby just kind of hangs there, swinging to and fro with Urist McDaddy's movements.
