Debber

I had ordered an extra copy for a friend and shot him the link last night when he wasn't around. This morning I got an ecstatic message indicating he was pleased with his new game (and describing his joy in ways that were slightly disturbing). Needless to say there are lots of us who are practically passing out from excitement and anticipation for this game!

Mmmmm preloading tastes so good.

It's HERE! IT'S HERE! Oh frabjous day! Callou! Callay! THANK YOU OBSIDIAN!

Thanks heaps, Obsidian! Hope the launch is successful beyond your wildest dreams and then you get a long vacation while we play the game to death.

Hooray! I love you, BAdler! Shhh don't tell anyone. This is exciting news!

I think a lot of people are just flush with excitement and don't know what to do with all that energy when they're keyed up for keys that aren't here yet (but will be! I know they will be!). It bursts forth in Forum Rage!

I am avoiding watching twitch or any other streams of the game. I want to experience it fresh and new when I play it for the first time. Oh, sure, I fiddled with the backer beta a bit just to see how things worked, but I never even did the first quest there because I didn't want to ruin all the lovely discovery and surprise. I am so looking forward to this game!

They did! Just not in this thread. http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/71554-pre-load-is-now-available/?p=1594832

They did say we were getting our keys "in the next few hours", so ... soon... sooooooon.

Just like a kid.

Puns! Because that's what this forum needs right now. Puns. Yeah, I agree. Blowing off Steam is the Key to maintaining calm in a situation where folks are just loaded up with anticipation for the game. Tee hee! This made me snicker.

That's right, Jesus has no keys either.

They DID address this, just not in this particular thread. http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/71554-pre-load-is-now-available/?p=1594832

It's ok. Well this makes perfect sense. Would we rather the steam buyers get to preload before we get to preload tonight, or would we rather everybody have to wait until tomorrow? I know which one I prefer.

Preorder people are only able to preload before us. Not play it before us. I am still sad I can't preload yet. But I might survive.

Okay NOW Steam buyers are preloading. AAAAAAAAGH! *sobs quietly*

Happy Birthday, Longknife! Steam is back up now!

My backer beta key also disappeared. What can it mean?!? (Am at work, so can't check to see if it disappeared from Steam right now...)

But no keys. THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE!! (Note: gross exaggeration going on there.)

Guess it wasn't us after all, but the backer portal is not yet back from maintenance. Are we there yet?

The backer portal is down for maintenance! What can this mean!?!?!?!?! Edit: Apparently it meant too many people were refreshing. HAHAHA

I wonder what Obsidian thinks of all us maniacs sitting here refreshing a mile a minute, ready to pounce on the keys when they arrive, and nearly going insane with anticipation?

That's the spirit!

This is why people need to stop developing content on the West Coast.This is why you need to move to the west coast! I like my state's combination of rain AND sunshine. What's more important? Rain AND sunshine, or getting your games faster? Priorities, man!

I think I'm going with Steam. I do like DRM free but Steam lets me track how many hours I've played it, etc.
