Yeah ok dude. But is it really freaking worth it to get our thread shut down for a third time? I know Mailman does not approve of that at all (straight form the horse's mouth).

With all due respect Brandon...I thought military service taught discipline, maturity and good judgement. You seem to be pretty lacking in all three of these.

Great, you think bringing (should they have taught you better) lines in here will make everything better. I stopped posting after last CD's post and you had to bring it right back up.

Military taught me to go with what I believe in and that's what I believe in. If you have never served or were never near anyone who has served then your post is irrelevant.

I'm really eager to preload tomorrow :), i was hoping it was going to be earlier though so that it would spread the server load out a bit more, we only have 5 days till release and i know within that small time frame there will be lots of server hammering.

I really hope they allow full pre-load. I'm wondering when they will take their full payment for the game? They should do it right as you order the game so they do not blind side people in when its release and they take their money.

Ya i hate it when they allow people to preorder but they don't take the money out right afterwards, makes me a little nervous.

I'm guessing they'll be taking the money out during the days of preloading so that way the people have the product on their drives.

I'll give them a few more hours before I start to worry about no email. I would think it's an East coast time deal, but Dannibus is an hour earlier than me, the damn King County hippy.
