Then again the UPS guy usually dosen't come until I get home from school.. so it'd be pointless...

7 days man... Hope nothing goes wrong..

I've got this sneaking suspicion that I'm sure to catch a cold that will keep me off work for a couple of days round about the release date :D

I pre-ordered mine at EBX (I am in USA) and it is coming in on 11/13/01 not bad. I could wait an extra day but i bet that not all people will get it exactly on the 12th if they used UPS or the postal service.

That's cool, I'm homeschooled too :) I expect to be at the mall in Utica the night before with my sleeping bag and supply of snacks.


Ok I'm not quite that desperate. I may even wait a couple days to pick it up... they'll be my last few days of freedom. After that I will be a slave to the computer. I wonder if I can get a nutrient IV so that I don't need to stop playing to eat....

P.S. Welcome trooper :)

Make a series of Bitmap pictures, where there is just a slight difference in movement, like:

"x "
"x "
".x "
".x "
"..x "
"..x "
"...x "
"....x "

Then use a GIF creator (search the web for Gif animator) and convert all the bitmaps to a GIF animation file.

It's fun to make them, really!


I actually considered staying home from school 'sick' on Monday, but first of all I don't want to be absent the first day of a new grading cycle, and second I would be found out when my mom brought in the mail to find the game :rolleyes:. Off course I could play happily surprised, but.. :p

Faking sick is easy: You have to use a raspy voice and make a pretty convincing cough..

Also my sister's birthday party is on the 12th.. Something to help me get away from the pain and torture..

You guys think you have problems? I pre-ordered it the very day they allowed you too, and you know what? I found out yesterday they screwed up my order online!!!! All they got from me was my name and phone number and that I wanted SOMETHING!!...I had to call their 888 number and replace the order, I was and am still kinda peeved at them. I think they should fed ex overnight for their error.
