Thank-you for letting us know about the delay, but did it really need three brand-new topics?

Aw, leave him alone he's just pissed like the rest of us!
Would of put money on it being delayed though due to the lack of reviews about, etc.

OK
having now read the post down aways, I can see that there's been a few reviews, so why the delay?

Are they trying to avoid HL2?  Or just torture us?

Just let them release it when they will! If there are problems with it that then don't sort out, then you'll be pissed!

Who knows!? It could be packed to the eyeballs with glitches!

Have to say a delayed release date does not bode well....time will tell.

Must be torture. HL2's been delayed too...

The delay of DvD is disheartening as I was starting to look forward to fugly-looking thing.

Does this mean Rennie & Collins are going to have to pad out that comic on the GAME site? :)


I'll only believe HL2 is delayed if they don't go gold by about the 23rd.

Valve are still saying the 30th, and they will probably move heaven and earth to put out as bug-free a game as possible and worry about patching straight after.

Still got release date 25th Sept down under at least thats what my supplier tells me(could be full of it) no date set down under for Cube version. HL2 has release date TBA from our supplier the september date has slipped though for sure.

well, tsk, I'm still not speaking to Tharg about messing up my entire winter schedule by not getting Dredd-con together, so i think a right good olde winge is justifiable..

i might just start another 20 threads winging in fact, exceptn' its too late now anyway.

am i the only one (and the thread suggest that i may well be) the only one who doesn't care about the Dredd vs Death Game?

I'm not decrying those who do, it's just that i don't really like computer games

Halo's great! I'm enjoying Time Splitters 2 a lot at the moment.

And I've just read that Grand Theft Auto 3 + Vice City is coming out on the X-Box!

I suppose one should never say never... in my youth i had a complete and utter disregard for Golf and those who played it, but as i get older i can see many plus points and i think i'm coming round to the idea

well, once child#1 is old enough to demand said console and it's put in front of me how will i react?

daaaaaaad, when can I have a go????

yttim?

Post by: Devons Daddy on 04 September, 2003, 04:48:47 PM

be very careful. it is truly addictive.
but hugely pleasurable.

WELL, PRAISE THE JOCK!

Sincere thanks for that news.

Any idea when, oh minimalist scribbler?

I have visions of a 'smaller affair' being a piss up at someone's house with a prog sellotaped to the front door.

Well, my wife won't let it be our house. She thinks you're all psychos.

That'd be a SHEDCON then?

It does rather sound like Tharg was bitter about missing out on ShedCon last year...

I had a look at a couple of reviews in Smiths today (had to wait for the 'youfs' to rip open the packaging and steal the dvd's first though)...
They do all seem positive, so I hope the delay is for fine-tuning and polishing purposes.

Cheers,

WoD.

For a Dreddcon that pub where they held the evening do would make a good venue during the day also.  Didn't they say it doesn't normally open on a Saturday.  Or it could be a really bad idea.

Post by: Devons Daddy on 05 September, 2003, 12:48:00 PM
by now we all have the email from MK13.

not their fault and they must be as annoyed and dissapointed as we are .

at least it has been noticed and is being fixed rather then a failed entrance with problems galore.

I dislike the fact that DVD is delayed however, if it makes the game that little bit better as well as amping up the hype then i am happy to wait.

I am just hoping there are plenty of multiplayer characters to kill peeps online with, actually is worried that Judge Mortis won't be a playabe multi-player character

would also love to See Nemesis the Warlock as a little bonus

anyway

seeya round

Always and forever
