Reading Berserk would also be a good choice. Plenty of blood, Guts (!), curses, night monsters and sorcery.

[MasterMorality]

 I'm actually willing Toady the other way, Do not release until after June 2nd. I have deadlines imminent!

That said, I almost exclusively play Genesis, so I assume Deon is going to have his hands full for a while after the initial release

Watch Game of Thrones or something. That should get you even more hyped.

Or read it

This.

[Yoink]

Me myself, I just read The Walking Dead number 3, and have now started into a collection of early Judge Dredd comics.
I also have a couple of novels to read, too... Should last me 'til .26 I hope.

Toady is developing relatively quickly already.

Even if he wasn't don't hurry the man. As much as you'd like it to happen, he's already devoted every single one of his waking hours to this, and hurrying would mean releasing something sub-par. This isn't even as bad as it gets in terms of waits. There was a year-long one after 40d, so this one isn't that big in comparison.

So calm down. It's come out when it's done.

I know about the gap. I was there. I just though the arc was going to be released sooner with less. Doing it all in one big go seems to be a recipe for crazy bugs.

[Kattaroten]

Sssschhhh... Dont scare him! He might stop doing the awesome daily updates!

The game is in open beta. We're beta-testing so we can find the bugs. If Toady was worried about releasing a buggy version, he'd not release anything for the next ten years.

I Know that we're beta testing. I am aware of these things. My worry is that, personally, I'd rather have

City Update (sans catacombs)
City Bug fixing (say... Worldgen creates cities made entirely of of soap, populated only by elven children who lay iron chairs)
Catacomb and Entity relations Update
C&E bugfixing (City citizen bury all bodies in one coffin, citizens bury iron chairs)
Necromancer update
Necromancer bugfixes (necromancer in legends is murdered by zombie *iron chair*)

And so on. With the big update, I fear that it'll be like when .31 first came out, and it took about ten updates for enough bugs to be resolved for it to be playable [for me, anyways. Just my opinion on that release].

.31 came out after over a year, and had more than one core of the game rewritten. This one will take at most three months. It will be nothing like .31, rest assured.

Rest assured? AAAAH! That's like saying "There's no need to panic" or "This isn't the magma floodgate, right"?

What the hype are you talking about?

[Rooster]

I'm still waiting for armies after what? 4 years?
Even, thought I'm sure it's a rapid development, I'd rather have all I want in this game before I'm 50.

It's alright. You'll get all the features when you're 70.

[lordnincompoop]

β? It's very clearly α. A large majority of the planned features haven't been implemented yet, and Toady still claims it to be α.

[Maklak]

Whats the rush? Personally I don't like updates every few weeks and preffer to stick to "stable" versions. A few months from 31.16 to 31.18 and to 31.25 were fine with me, because I could play a fort for a while (in my limited time), and not think I'm missing some updates and bugfixes.
