I have not been so excited for a game in a long time. Can't wait to see what goodies are going to show up on the site this week.

Has anyone watched the motion capture video yet? I downloaded it last night and was all excited and then when it finished downloading I forgot about it and went to bed.

Also for those too lazy to read the homepage:

I am excited about the game too! I should be getting it this week, only problem is it will be competing with my WoW open beta playing time.... but I'm leaning towards MoS

Well, you have two hands, right? Use one hand to play Wow on one machine, and the other hand to play MOS on the other

Emily... good thing you're excited!

I am more than glad to have played and to have finished TMOS for the review, and I am more than interested in knowing your views as well as everyone else's when they are finished.

Certainly, TMOS seems like a great labor of love, as evidenced in the FMV cutscenes, trailer and most everything else. To come back full force after the squashing of Mystery of the Druids is quite the task. Everyone will just have to wait to see any real concrete opinion on the English version. And goodness, I hate having to wait for anything.

This week should be a blast! I am most excited for the developer chat, considering the fact that Martin Ganteföhr is so interactive, open and willing to discuss. It is always a great thing to see developers take their time to communicate with their audience and--sometimes--fans.

Is everyone else as hyped? If not, they could learn from you, Emily.

Cheers,
Kirk

Where's that jumping up and down smiley when I need it?!

Seriously, after playing the demo last week I have been very excited for this game. From the gameplay it just seems like "my kind" of game. My only complaint is the price of ordering from the UK (even with the free shipping DJ is offering) - I am still hoping a US publisher will be announced with a lower price point. I have been burned too many times buying a game at a high price.

If no US publisher is announced, I will probably be putting it on my Christmas list... and/or setting the Digital Jesters store as my boyfriend's home page until he gets the hint...

ps Can't wait to read your review!

See if these guys ship worldwide. Of course, I'm not entirely sure, as I live in the UK...

Doesn't seem like they do.

That's still a good price for you lucky UK folks...

I wanted to let everyone know that as of today, GoGamer here in the United States has The Moment of Silence in stock and they are shipping. Price is $39.90; they offer speedy shipping options as well as a new $1.99 dirt-cheap shipping option as well.

Hmm, I've always thought that play.com sends games&dvd's worldwide, but it seems they only send stuff to European countries.

They had a US site (click on International in the upper left corner) but Moment of Silence wasn't in their inventory.

Just got my shipment confirmation yesterday, anyone have an idea what sort of shipping they use to Europe/NL? 1-day, 3-day, a week? (I can't wait that long, never been a patient person lol)

LauraMac

Played MOS through, my initial thoughts are..

get excited. What a treat to play this game.

Kolzig

Yeah, www.playusa.com doesn't have any games, just R1 dvd's.

And www.playusa.com also delivers to Europe for free, think about that.

3-5 days, lately they've been really fast, 3 days went and I got my Evil Dead trilogy box set, 3 days went and I got my FlatOut. 8-)

This is 2004! The world is round! You will not fall off the edge, because there is this cool place called America beyond the horizon

Jokes aside, a lot of people are always telling me play.com ships world wide... Many retailers will not ship world wide for some reason, a lot of times you have to order from the the game company itself. The Japanese Amazon.com won't ship any computer games over seas, but if I order directly from the publisher (like Falcom), they are more than willing to send it to me. I wonder why....?

The third question in the MoS giveaway is quite tricky. Any hints?


EDIT: I'm leaning towards RecipeSource.com.

Probably has to do with the publishing deals. If a game has a US publisher, the deal often states that they have sole distribution rights in the US, which means retailers in the UK are not allowed to ship the UK version to the US. And vice versa.

In some cases I believe the publisher retains rights to ship overseas and they restrict retailers from doing so.
