i can stay up as late as I have to to play but it's not going to be the 17th for much longer. Definitely deceptive advertising. If they would have said the 18th it would make more sense.
well, they wouldnt want to spend 10 damn years making a game, only to be upstaged by some mod before it's even released (if forever really will be released) Personally I have no faith in 3dRealms. I think Duke Nukem 3D was a hit on accident, hell they put in the voice overs way late and weren't...
there's a very good chance STALKER will be awesome, but an equal chance they didn't balance or do the open endedness correctly. I've been looking forward to STALKER for a long time, I'm just worried about being disappointed.
