35 minutes left. How will you spend your time waiting?

from Elemental Forums

I am really excited for this game. I found out about WoM on the something awful forums. I followed WoM from Alpha, prepurchased back then and followed the development salivating. This was the game I dream about. I love fantasy. I love 4x. I love RPGs and I love magic.

We all know what happened with WoM so no need to bring it up again. This is one of the few companies to do a mea culpa and actually give out a free game to customers that felt disenchanted. In a world of business where corporations don't care who you are and just want your money, you really have to tip your hat to Brad and Stardock for what they did.

They got the guy who made by far the best mod ever. Fall from Heaven. They went big. I respect that a lot, and as a socialist I don't say that very often about corporations.

Stardock is one of the few companies that love their games. I am a loyal customer despite always giving them a hard time.

So, thanks Stardock. Thanks Brad. I really hope this game is great. If it's bad though, I won't hold back because I believe you need constructive criticism to point out the flaws and make this game successful.

 

35 minutes left. How are you going to spend it? I spent my time rambling just now ;p.

scouring of FE beta off of my system.

and downloading of 1.0 onto my system.

What else is there to do?

I am downloading on my laptop, while I hastily assemble my main gaming rig - new GTX 670, Core i5 3570K, 8GB DDR3@1600 goes in, spiders, dust and old, charred components go out. 

No time to lose!

"File is corrupt"

Excellent! I love when that happens. Good that I don't pay for the data transferred.

Once more into the breach, my friend!

And once again, corrupt. Hardly a coincidence - either my broser is bad, which I doubt since I have no problems otherwise, or the server is overloaded and drops connections.

MD5 or SHA checksums would be nice.

or a smaller install files...

my connection is breaking today (I swear Murphy is at work, it NEVER happened twice in any week, and today it breaks every 20 minutes :( )

spent last few hours on retrying and still waiting ... hopefully stardock central is connection proof solution

[ Yawn ]  Download took over 2 hours ... I played Sid Meier's Pirates on my iPad for about an hour ... and then I think I dozed off.  Yeah, actually, I know I fell asleep.  Thinking about it, some more, today might  not  be the best day to attempt the new download.  Stardock's servers may be seriously strained for the next several hours.   Good Luck, All !
