The post is LONG. I mean EPIC long. It is very detailed. The TL;DR is that the day was awesome and if you weren't there, I feel bad for you :-P
The links to pics are at the bottom of the post. I linked tinfoilhatter's and mine. When everyone else has pics up, I will add them to the bottom of the blog post. If you were there, feel free to add comments to the page or I can add them in to the blog itself for you if you want. :D

I am. Assassins creed 2 will tied my assassin needs over until then (once released).
I really hope that thief 4 is similar to assassin's creed in movement etc. It would also be nice be nice to do some more stealing and sneaking as some side quests or something. Multiple cities etc. Garsh. I bet it's going to be a long wait...

Cyberpunk city and bar environments I made in the CryEngine2
Vietnam animation
Mime walkcycle, falling over, attack animations
2 random buildings
The best of these is def. the cyberpunk city. I am wondering if I should add all of this work, how long the showreel should be, what music I should use etc. Any help would be appreciated.

Cool ending! Sort of saw it coming. Enjoyed it. So did they sell enough copies to make a sequel?

What happens if you actually try to order with a price mistake like this? I'm assuming they can get out of having to give it to you right?

If you have add me to your list. Would be fun actually having people on the leaderboards to compete with.
I still have roughly 45% or so of the wastelands that I have yet to explore. Since the game play, storyline and quests are all so very intriguing, I am really on the fence about finishing up the rest. Even though I believe I've covered most of the good areas, does anyone recommend a specific area/zone (if I haven't already) or if completing it entirely is worth it?
I have all 5 expansions as well, which I'll definitely be playing very soon. Any recommendations on which is best, at least in your own opinions. Which one offers the longest gameplay?
Anyway, pretty damn solid game. Was anyone else a little disappointed in the ending though?

It has become such a cliche and lame mechanic for so long now. Fight your way to the turrets, wait for the enemy to launch a counter-attack, and then start mowing down waves of mindless suicidal enemy as they charge over the hill for the next 5 minutes.
The exception to this rule is zombie games like Left 4 Dead, because the enemy are mindless drones to begin with.
