I wonder if my severe Dwarf Fortress addiction will ease up by august - so that I could even think about playing some other game. If it will, this, and TW temptation are high on my list.

Thanks for covering STALKER, btw. I really appreciate it.

In my estimation 'confirming' a release for 5 months in the future is somewhat optimistic

Hey, Rogue Dao did that for Purgatorio. If they can do it, I'm sure GSC can do it too.

Not to spoil the fun, but I think that their hand was a bit forced by the rumor that came out earlier this week--that's where the 'confirm' part comes in.

I wouldn't put too much faith in GSC, they never even got around to squashing all the bugs in the first STALKER game. Hopefully they'll put more effort into supporting this one.
