"As has been reported around the net today, we can confirm that the game has indeed passed final certification with Microsoft on Friday the 15th of August (on our first try, no less). That means the game is done - it is now in the hands of Microsoft. At this time we cannot give you details on release date or points cost, as we do not have that information. There's plenty of really cool stuff in this new update to a classic title. While we're not quite ready to divulge everything yet, we can tell you this."
- IF AT LEAST THIS PARAGRAPH WASN'T THAT DELIBERATELY VAGUE... You just CAN'T throw an "it's done" anywhere near the 3dRealms site... you can kill people -lives and/or careers- by doing that! (take the editor for example)
C'mon, don't you people realize that there might be lives at stake in this? -both in the developer's side and the fans?)
I've personally betted my hair on the Duke (I'll shave my head the day DNF comes out) and a friend and I are planning to get tattoos conmemorating the date...
When you just expect something to be "whenever", IT'S FUCKIN' WHENEVER!!! ---
f*ck you, kdawson -and you can quote me on that-... I hope you did that on purpose to get your name noticed. I did notice it... argh
"In particular, what if games came with an age group flag when they were installed, and operating system users could also have an age limit specified, so that applications with a "18+" flag would not launch of a user configured as "13.""
That's actually pure brilliance... so easy to implement, and they haven't figured that out yet?
2 thumbs up, dude
