Several people has stated that they are planning on staying up until WiF is available for sale. So to help them out, does anyone actually know exactly what time and time zone on 11/7 the game will be available for download?

But any time on the 7th will do just fine :)

I'll dig out my adjustable flame Bic lighter, parachute pants and Aqua Net hair spray. I'm surprised there weren't more fires.

From all the rumored "price shock" comments, I'm pretty sure the CiC at my house is not going to authorize this particular expenditure, but I can dream.

I have yo look at the schedule. Are they playin Bama? But yes. Still in control of the east. I thought we had ky and then my ole miss. I'm hoping ole miss will beat em. I do know mizzou. Only loss was to the cocks in a missed 24 yard field goal. Look pretty good considering their qb has been out. I'm under blackout for many of their games. I don't get hardly any Lu's games either this year. There is a new sec station on next year that I hope my provider picks up.

Here's to any sec team on top. Except Georgia of course. Was really hoping Florida was gonna come back to win that one. They almost did.

Sorry for the spelling and such. Away on a mobile app. Too much a pain to correct.

Then the next morning when you are looking glum and she asks whats wrong? you say Not much....(dramatic pause).....It's just that all my single friends are getting this game and when I told them I couldnt they all said that is why they are still single. (remember to do this while last night is still fresh in her mind, yes, before pissing her off in the morning if possible)

She'll be shamed into doing what is against her good nature. No way are them single guys gonna have one up on you. She wont have it. Guilt, when applied correctly, can get some things done.

That'll be $25.

Whats that? Oh, you're welcome.

p.s. Don't forget to tell her how great of an idea it is of hers to get the game. Never let this one seem like your idea so, come bill time, it wont be used against you.

Plan 2 gets a little more deviant. Do you have access to a shovel and a bag of lime?

Show her that it is an investment....an investment in her (you're at home more), an investment in the family (you're at home with the family), and it will only appreciate in value...

I only say her because my CiC is also a her.

BTW, nice to see you.

My CiC is a veteran of the Pacific campaign (AE) and knows all the rationales, excuses, and "given the hours I'll play it'll only cost me 1 cent per year" theories. I'm toast.

I would agree with your last statement by more than 100%. Did you and John decide to call it a game btw? I rarely come to the forums anymore.. too busy with work. I just play my pbem and a game with schanelic anymore.

If there are no issues, it's typically live by noon. If there are issues with the final store process, we have the rest of the day as time to fix any store issues and make sure it's live by evening. It's about 95% by mid-day, 5% later in the afternoon in terms of the historical odds.

Regards,

- Erik

So no need to stay up in the US until 12:01 AM EST and expect to get the game on the 7th

Of course people living further East of EST may need to stay up later before everyone West of you runs the game out of stock before you wake up

You walk up to wife, give her 200 bucks, tell her to go off and enjoy the shopping.

Then you order the game, and you stop hand wringing about excuses.

No I don't want to hear your comments about you can't locate 400 bucks. Sucks to be you, the PS4 comes out in days, I hope you don't have kids :) Christmas is coming, you must love this time of year :)

I buy what I want and I don't offer any excuses. They get their own allowances and I don't care what they spend it on and they don't get to comment about mine.

Just hours to go, can't wait.

I'm also all fired up for the Desolation of Smaug too.

Were you looking over your shoulder as you typed that?

And Les, I mean DWS , some people are suffering in this economy and every year we should all make an effort to try and help out those that may not be able to afford Christmas gifts to their children. Hardly anything that needs to be sneered at. I could go on but I'll drop the subject and instead elect to do something I've never done before. Use that green button.

And done. I don't want this fine occasion to slide into a pissin match.

Good day.

mo reb

Does Plan 1 really work?

As for Plan 2, a boat and the 12 mile limit,

It has to work. I've seen it on an Afterschool Special starring Scott Baio. And Choachi would never lie.

Plan 2? Nothing beats a hog. They'll eat everything. Round here they call it 'Gone Missing'. YMMV

Status: offline 		This is one place where Steve's STRATEGIC PLANNING has come into play. I have been telling my wife for many years.... I am going to buy this game when it comes out. I predict she will encourage me to get something else (like an extra monitor) just because I have patiently waited so long.

She is smart. She knows. We have been married for 25 years and I keep telling her that even murderers get out after 20.... This game is cheaper on her than a parole hearing!!!




It is almost here!
