Status: offline 		Hi everyone,

I'm happy to announce that we've submitted the gold master to the store. The release version of the game is finished. As usual, it came down to the wire and it may not have been in time to release tomorrow. In which case we'll release on Friday. We don't normally do a Friday release, but given the anticipation level, we will do so in this case if the store is not ready on Thursday.

Regards,

- Erik

I'm assuming he was actually joking. At least, I hope so.

Status: offline 		Notice how the comments are disabled on the Windows 7 launch party video. What did Microsoft do or plan to do with such a video. It's so lame and bad acting yet it appears that it was an attempt to be fun and good acting. It seems like Microsoft wanted to inform people with the video but were also hoping that a Windows party would catch on and become a popular past time. heh. Wow.

The parody of Hitler responding to the video is funny also:

The clip is from:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downfall_(film)
It's a good movie.

It's a good movie.

IMO the Downfall parodies are so overdone, there were like five Downfall parodies alone for the release of the game Hearts of Iron 3.

It's one of the most over-used parodies these days.:(

Anyway, great news and thanks for the update Erik, I got my creditcard all ready to go!
