    Is it just me, or if you actually try taking holiday before the end of the year, do your managers then conveniently forget and start ringing up in screaming panic anyway?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    That or the holiday form you submitted 3 times in the summer gets convieniently lost around a week before youre due to have time off.....

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Or, in the case of my wife earlier this year; book the holiday 6 months in advance, get it all OK'd and everything, then get told TWO DAYS BEFORE that she can't have it as someone who only started 2 months ago, booked it a week ago, and has ALREADY GONE ON HOLIDAY WITHOUT GETTING APPROVAL is also away.

    She told 'em to get stuffed and we went anyway.

    Id love to see more of the Legends step off the pedestals once in a while and hand out finely tuned, uber shiny justice at the end of a fist/blast/arrow if the Devs/rednames (still not too sure about the difference) could get the time, showing up now n then ingame would be very cool.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    It'd be far more amusing to watch them TRY to do that, and get pwnd..

    Has anyone else noticed that none of the Dev's have posted since 25/11/2008...

    Do we think they have taken Thanksgiving off, are they sick (if so hope you get better soon folks)!! Or have we all been behaiving ourselves that they don't need to post??

    Your guess is as good as mine...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Depends what you mean by "devs". Do you mean our rednames, who are not devs, or the US rednames, some of whom are devs (and HAVE posted a little over Thanksgiving).

    I've noticed GR hasn't posted, but he could easily be having a few days off after Memoribilia...
  5. Pffft... Twice last night on the new drivers...

    The world outside my gaming consists of Stevenage. Anyone who tells me I should go out and interact with it fully deserves the punch in the face I will give them for trying to take my games away from me.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Stevenage? No WONDER you run around in a loincloth and sporting a ruddy great axe! You're positively CIVILISED in comparison!

    i13 release date

    [ QUOTE ]
    Well it's definitely not today... the servers are up at the moment and i've been playing happily for the last hour.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Doesn't ANYONE read US dev posts, even when repeated here?

    They've already clearly said, it will NOT be released before Thanksgiving, which is today.

    Ah, but you can't exactly 'win' anyway. It's a personal objective thing. Since he was doing this to kick himself back into drawing, I personally think he's met that objective anyway.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Ya. He's done well and even if he doesn't "win", he's done very well and he hasn't stopped getting down and drawing. Well, until now ofc, he seems to be not showing any more drawings...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Try reading other peoples posts sometime...

    [ QUOTE ]

    Well, he's currently engaged in the artistic project of wallpaper stripping. We can hope, but I don't think breath holding would be a good idea.

  9. I spend my evenings chatting to friends on my IRC server or MSN, Roleplaying in CoH, and chatting to the wife. I don't actually watch TV anymore, except for Top Gear on Sunday evening...
  10. Couldn't you just post in one of the several dozen OTHER threads about this, instead of starting a whole new thread?

    There are a myriad number of reasons why not. Try reading one of the other threads about it.

    This one is rather amuzing http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nC5h27sinjM. Nicely produced, little long in places to match the music.

    Works better without the fullstop at the end. Fixed it for you.

    Indeed Belenus.
    Well I can't blame them for posting more on the US forum (after all they live over there)...
    but DEVs.. we don't bite... War Witch can confirm that!
    (I hope)

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Well, I do... But I have to really really like you.
  14. Totally almost forgot to post this, but as he's mooching around Memorabilia, he won't notice right away.

    Happy birthday ShadowGhost! May you have cake, and presents, and all sorts of other things!

    and about I13, it's around winters day, got prove in the beta it self.(look in pocket D, don't tell anyone )

    [/ QUOTE ]

    No.. That's just because the Winter Event is active on test; has been for a while.

    even WoW has animated hair

    [/ QUOTE ]

    It does?! I've never noticed it. Character models in WoW are horribly basic.


    [/ QUOTE ]

    Exactly - if even they have it, then it must be a basic human right

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yeah, but they don't have it, so it's clearly not a basic human right.

    Since they've already got a board, they will need some time to copy everything over. That does take a while.


    [/ QUOTE ]

    No it doesn't. Preparing the migration scripts WILL take a while, especially testing of them etc, but once everything is ready, it'll just be a matter of running a script. The actual transfer of the data won't take more than a few minutes top.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Pedantry doesn't suit you, FFM. Floating despots should just smite people for their impertenance.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    That's what delegation is for. GR is the designated forum smiter around here.

    i dont no which avatar to have the i cant belive its not maddness of leonidas in a car crash with no seat belt?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    You appear to have your avatar on a cycling thing, and some of them, especially the animated Leonidas one at 1.95mb, are stupidly large. You DO know there's an avatar filesize limit on here, don't you?

    november the 29th!! the end is nigh!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    They will not be releasing on a Saturday...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I think I4 (Arena one anyway) went live on a Friday and they learned their lesson. They usually release on a Tuesday these days, from what I remember.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Pretty much yeah, and given the winter event starts on Dec 18th, and they'll need a couple of weeks for i13 to bed in, it's extremely likely to be released on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, the 2nd December.

    In fact, iirc, they've released on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving before, last year.

  24. Plus, Nova form is a total godsend on those hunt missions in The Hollows or Perez. All those lovely mobs of villains just waiting for your AoE's...
