anything worth waiting for shouldn't be rushed, so let your bacon cool while you wait

Mixed emotions here. I want a quality product. But, I'd really, really like to be playing this weekend.

But then it's not up to me. How about an update on the release date then?

I think a better thread title would have been "Anticipation" - queue Carly Simon.

Anticipation, anticipation
Is makin' me late
Is keepin' me waitin'

After I posted this I remembered that many on this board weren't even born when the commercial came out (c1977) so:

Long/boring/pointless post:

When the first Strategic Command was built, I downloaded the demo. It ended about 1940 something. I was able to take poland, france, hungary, yugo, romania, bulgaria... and then the demo ended! Just when things were about to get interesting! That's the best demo I ever played regarding getting the player to take out his credit card and demand more! No brainer purchase. That was before full game electronic dl sales (instant gratification) So I had to wait 7-10 bidness days to get my grubby hands on the full game. An eternity.

I grew up playing Axis and Allies board game vs my Dad. So I turned Dad onto SC1. He loved it, he still plays it vs comp, at the time we played tcp/ip almost a hundred games prolly. SC2 came out, I got it. Dad is in his 70's, so he didn't turn onto it right away, but eventually he did and we play, always have a game going. Just today I took SC2 turns vs Dad.

I recently rebuilt Dad's computer. He wanted to be sure SC1, SC2 (of course b/c we still play it all the time) and his hoyle card games all work. This is important.

I guess my point is. We've had thousands of hours enjoying this franchise. Looking forward to the new one.

I never could comprehend this saying. Waiting sucks, plain and simple.

"Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives." -- stupid American soap opera

"All we are is dust in the wind, dude." -- Bill & Ted

Anyway - bring on the game! Waiting is for the birds.

Finally - that Carly Simon song was played in the Heinz ketchup commercial! So, we come full circle!

I'm kidding about tapping and twiddling my thumbs. I only check in every week or so. Are you done yet?
