Yeah! Same here!

Although, now my time this summer is restricted to just a single hour of computer time or so. I can play just one OOTP game a day. But, there's a lot of Scotland to explore! RL is just a bit more interesting than a bunch of text on a screen.

I luckily have the ability to play this game and any other game while I'm at work so i kinda get paid to play OOTP. Oh i love you computers.

Don't people who pre ordered get the game a day or two early??

Yes, on the 20th as opposed to the 22nd.

If you don't go in that is kind of like paying what you would of earned to play OOTP. Now don't get me wrong I love OOTP but we have a year of OOTP 12 to enjoy. ;-)

Hopefully less than a year...

Just sayin'!

Being retired is a nice problem to have.

I've been on medical leave since the first of this year. So I don't have to worry about it. Already informed my wife that I will be busy on Monday and Tuesday.

Same here! Last day is the 20th. The rest of the week can be spent on OOTP.

Would be a great Father's Day present.

I work from home most of the time and Monday will not be any different!

sdctitans · 06-18-2011, 05:07 PM

I'll be taking Tuesday off so I don't run into the late release problem. I work swing shift and might use up half a day waiting for the notice. I'll play it monday after work and all day Tuesday

Now if I really wanted to I could talk my way out of it but I'd be giving up some serious OT.
On the flipside I'd be gaining a full day of gaming.

So what do you think

Should I go into work or say screw it and stay home to play OOTP 12?

Go to work. The economy is still in bad shape, and nobody should give up an opportunity to make some extra money.

For those on the edge of their seats waiting for what I would decide to do.

I ended up going against the masses and go into work. It's good too considering the release won't be happening until close to 2pm EST.

To be honest though, I am a little dissapointed....

I really was looking forward to the Monkey Rodeo

Could you not use OOTP as a educational tool - children could learn to work out whether 207 hits from 502 AB's is a .400 player or not...

Peregrine · 06-20-2011, 09:01 AM

Personally I'm taking tomorrow off work. I figure I'll find some kind of game to play today and tomorrow - maybe something released around 2 pm.

The Wolf · 06-20-2011, 09:27 AM

The monkey rodeo is really great today.

Monkey Rodeo was Canceled.

Germaniac · 06-20-2011, 10:09 AM

No problem here ... I'll work until 6 p.m. local time ... which is high noon ET

So after finishing work, I'll go home, two more hours to wait ... and at 8 p.m. - bang, the eMail should arrive

I voted work, although depending on how busy my work is, it might be both.
