The forums....
The War in The Pacific "Buy" website...
The Home page of Matrix....
The Matrix Store...
or maybe you rotate?


Where is your place of choice?

But they will post (more to brag than anything else) immediately after the download is complete. I don't think anyone will miss the forum post, and that's all I'm bothering to check.

bank balance.....OK
updated sound drivers and dx9....OK
free time over next few days....OK
jobs round house done....OK.

That just leaves my blood pressure....which seems to get a little higher each time I look on here, like ten times every 5 minutes or so.

Status: offline 		I read something about updating sound card drivers somewhere on here yesterday, so I thought I'd get it out of the way; the download is going to take a while on an ISDN line at 128k, without then having another 33 meg to do straight after!!!! Of course, it might not have been necessary, but after 20 years wait for this game I'd rather be ready to play it.

When the number of users signed onto this forum suddenly drops off, about 50% I think, then I will know something is up!!!!!!!

Mr. IanLister:

You nearly talked your wife into taking a trip to Columbus, Ohio, so you could buy a computer game.

I salute you and your lovely wife.

When you see it available, are you going to instantly start downloading or come here and post first?

I would imagine the person starting the download, then coming in here to tell the "horde" that the game is available (or of course, if he is paranoid about the possibility of getting reduced download speed, tell everyone after downloading it, hehe).
