They could always release the "release date" for the demo on Friday, but with the release date being "Friday". At least we all wish that. If they think that were not going to be disappointed, that means that either the release date is Friday, or very soon afterwards. Darn, my excitement that had died down back in mid-December is now start to well up again! I hope it doesant get crushed this time as well.

Well, I know for a fact that I'll be running it no matter what. Even the PC at my grandparents house will run it, and they have a 2.4 Ghz Intel P4, 512MB RAM, and a 64MB Intel Integrated video card! So I'm set system wise. A good piece of mind so I can play the demo before I get "my" PC a month from now.

Yea the chicken metor shower was halarious. I dont know of any cheats for it, but I doubt that I will use any. In Rome Total War, I made the mistake of giving myself over a billion $$$ in money, which destroyed the tactical mindset of the Campaign building and economy for me. So in EaW, I'm not going to mess with it. If I dont learn how to make a good economy, etc, then I wont win the 1v1 Galactic Battles online!

I agree on this one as well. What is the release date of the demo? Please dont fly around the topic with, "It has yet to be thought of", yes you have thought of it so please, give us our candy... your dangling it just out of our hands reach, like keeping candy from a baby in a buggy, its just not right.

I personally do not care that the main game release date has been pushed back. However, I really wish that they would at least give us the demo release date; our pain needs to be eased with at least that.

Oh many that's some funny stuff!

Yea, I just finished mine this week. I had three (all of the hardest) on Wednesday, and the remaining two on Friday. I'm currently going to college, so they werent that easy, but werent too hard either. It all depends on how well you studied for the regular tests during the months, and how well you reviewed that material prior to the final.

Got some nice over-time this week (regular pay, plus half of it, plus the extra hours). Tomorrow starts a new week, but I'll be getting as much if not more overtime (5-10 hours) this week. I should have my PC even sooner with this un-anticipated cash. Plus, the Christmas money could easily be $100 more than anticipated, pushing me even closer to my absoloute goal! Man, the excitement and reality of it is starting to set it... at last, I am about to finally get what I have waited over five years for... its almost driving me nuts!

I'm working over 40+ hours a week right now for a month (while out from college). Then its back to part-time. I'm using the family PC right now (mentioned in a previous topic), which I get about 30 minutes to an hour to use every two days since my father is obssessed with eBay. I used to get all the time I wanted, but now, hes ALWAYS on. Why I'm getting "my own" very soon.

Not really bud, I just want the demo itself.

I've waited a few years already; so I'm worn down of the wait. But this week, I've worked over 44 hours (over time! [more pay on overtime hours than regular]), and next week I work around 50 hours. The $400 is now avaliable to me that wasent, so... things are looking pretty sweet. I might be able to get the PC even sooner than expected! But of course, I do need to add in the costs of a PC desk, and a router to give me some of our high speed internet.

I plan to name one of my Capital ships, "Space Ball I". Your thoughts? P.S. -- If you havent sceen Space Balls, the movie, dont reply.

Man waiting sucks, especially when your finally, after so long, close to your goal. I'll have over $1,700 in three weeks. If I do something else, an additonal $105 may be added, requiring two more weeks to equal five weeks. Or, if I am able to do somthing else, I can get an additional $500, meaning that there would be no more waiting, in three weeks I could purchase my PC! Man, years of never having my "own personal PC" has sucked. I'm now going to be able to game like there is no tomorrow, aside of college studies, work, and my personal life of course. Even still, much more time than the pathetic nothing I am getting now. PC Specs: AMD Athlon 4000+ 2GB Corsair XMS High Performance RAM (changed it from Kingston, too pricey) Nvidia 7800 GT 256MB PCI Express Asus 8AN SLI nForce 4 motherboard (for future SLI video) Super Alien See-Thru 500watt PSU Turbo X-Dreamer II Case Microsoft Intelli Optical Mouse The main specs. I still do not decided on a good monitor. Any suggestions for a good monitor? And this keyboard I want to order, it'll go with the blue LED's that will be all over my case, inside and out. http://www.saitekusa.com/usa/prod/eclipse.htm

Your just not going to get the performance that you would have got if you went with a PC, especially for the price. I was considering getting an XPS Gen 2, with a 6800 Ultra (before they had 7800's), but thank the lord I did not! That would have been $3,000 practically wasted. My PC that I'm customizing will cost me around $1,800, and it will beat any laptop out there. Compare the prices and the performance differences, then ask yourself, "Is simple mobility worth all of that wasted money and poor graphics?"

Forget the laptop. You can get yourself for just under $2,000 a very high-end system with 2GB RAM, AMD 4000+ 64-bit, 7800 GTX/or GT, etc. Dont settle for less!
