It keeps coming and coming, but it never seems to really get here.

What's the latest word on the release date? Will it be here for
Christmas?

I believe the latest word from ID is that they will try to have it ready
for Christmas, but that they will not release it if they do not feel that
it is ready, so they may delay it for some time after that. If I
remember correctly, they never predicted that it would be released any
sooner than this Christmas anyway, so what do you mean by "It never seems
to really get here"?

Hey, Killer Bees (for the Odyssey^2) was a great game! (And a heck of a
lot easier to find than Power Lords). The digital sound (using'The
Voice') was very cool.

I guess you are saying Quake will be a great game too... :-)

Actually I'm referring to the big hype in the mid 70's about South
American Killer bees. They were supposed to be swarming all over the
US, killing people by the millions "Just Any Day Now".

But they never got here.

Oh well.

Personally, I loved the analogy. I thought it was a gem. :)

I remember when Michael Abrash started working at Id, I
joked around that Id was "quagmired in Quake" and
Michael was going in to rescue them. Michael responded,
unequivically, that Id was NOT quagmired in Quake.

Well, it's been 7 months and we not only haven't seen
Quake, we haven't heard from Michael in a long time
either. It kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Weren't those bees coming from south of the border,
meaning they would make it to Texas first? That could
explain a lot. :)

Actually, those of us who live toward the southwest of
the US know that about 10 people are killed a year
by killer bees. You see it on the news about once
a month, more towards the spring/summer when it
is warmer. Apparently the colder temperatures are
keeping the bees from really making progress this
far north of the equator.

I know this is off-topic, but I too enjoyed the comparison.
