Zero. I'm going to check it on Monday after I'm done my physics homework because if I find out that it's released before then, shit has no chance of getting done.

Not once. I know that the forums will explode once something is released, so I just use folks like you as my personal messengers  ;D

I've probably checked at least twenty times in the six hours, somewhere around a hundred times in the last few days.

Every hour or so I come here and click refresh about 20 or so times before sighing and going back to statistics. Heres to hoping in the next 30 minutes i'll be changing my tune!

Is it that time already?

From what i see, there was a post hinting at a soon to come release on the 27th. for me, it's now the 29th, as is for eastcoast US dwellers.
So, what makes you think the release is as due as your page refresh spam implies?

I don't know, around this time Toady updates the front page thing. I just assume he would release on a time he normally makes an update! But no luck today. Just turtle-shell interactions. :( *Not that  am against this, a quality product takes time.

Definitely over a hundred, haven't exactly been keeping count. :P It was Threetoe's 'Finishing touches' post that did it, although now Toady's posted about an 'issue list' and such, so I'll probably go back to waiting semi-patiently. D: Darn the over-excitement!

This thread is funny because people in here really think it will be released before March.

You guys talking about f5'ing repeatedly.

Get the liveclick addon for firefox and then set up an rss folder on your bookmarks toolbar.
Then subscribe to the df blog and release rss feeds and put them in the rss folder.
Right click on the rss feed and change it to check for updates every minute.

You'll be instantly alerted to any updates within a minute and you can happily browse the forums without spamming f5 on the main page. It reminds me to read the new update every morning.

I hit refresh once today, just to see if there was a devblog entry.  There wasn't.  So I went back to eating velociraptor babies.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.
