If my only chance in getting into the Friends and Family Beta was to become a friend of Paul....

...then I would just swallow my pride... and sit there patiently for the open Beta to roll around.

Congrats. to all, and well done. Getting excited more everyday. Necer thought I would live to see my most favorate game come back. You all are the greatest.

So, is this room just setup for such testing or are these the actual office workstations for the PGI employees?

[Felicitatem Parco]

They're not the regular offices; you'd normally see a coffee I.V. drip at every workstation.

friends and family only? k, lets draw straws then. loser asks Pauls mom out for a date to "gather intelligence". since she is clearly the superior gamer in the family, we will have the edge we need

Loser? I say WINNAR!

I am absolutely squirming with anticipation!

So they're showing us a picture and video of what we would like to be doing but can't do because they're doing it for us instead before we get to do it but get to see it being done...

I'd be happy to play around with the start screen even if it didn't do anything at this point.

[PinchHittR]

I wanna play ._.

1. Needed to turn the heat up to 11 and require everyone to remove 1 article of clothing every time they stop 'testing'
2. Need more wimmen.
3. armchair straps for Matt N. for future pictures.

Otherwise...very nice.

Oh it would just figure this would have come out the day my puter was down!!!! Freakin' AWESOME! Summer might not feeeel so long after all! Thanks for posting the pics Garth. It's almost as close as we can get without being there. *Attempts to reach through monitor to steal someone's mouse!*

Well, having a look at all Twitter Feeds, I'm to guess that "Being somewhere in the middle of the Friends and Family Beta" was the "Major Milestone" that PGI had achieved.

The phrase "soon" has been used so often that it's falled into disrepair and is not akin to Valve Time. It's understandable why they'd use relative timeframes like "soon" and "almost", because if the chance they miss an absolute timeframe, the community gets snippy and starts biting their hands.

You calling me a LIAR!? *gets snippy and starts biting your hand*

[Kaemon]

Whohoo! Is it time to start biting people?

Oh, guess not, and here I put in my special 'bitin' teeth and everything today.

/disappoint

[Tannhauser Gate]

Im so confused!

Normally, when a dev team throws around terms like SOON and COMING UP, I have to ignore it all to save myself from the frustration because it could be months. PGI actually throws real nuggets of info!, concept art!, trailers!, and posts about real progress!

They are undermining the system!!

[Garth Erlam]

I'm not part of your system, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.

Great. He's stoned. So that's why they're so laid back with their time-based estimations.

Damn your free health care (and obvious prescription-based benefits) for citizens, Canada! DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!!!
