Exactly what it says on the tin.

If you'd like to contribute to the hype by posting (links to) screenshots and other material or just ask questions or spread rumors, this is the place to do it.

Be sure to check this exact post every now and again up until and including the release date for freebies and neat stuff.

I have nothing interesting to say, but I sure as hell can't wait for this game. Next 30 days is great for video games.

Good call. This game is so much more fun with two or more people blasting away at stuff, especially since there are instances in the game where enemies will sneak, gang up, and respawn to insane degrees.

I can't confirm or deny much more in that direction until release day. But I'm willing to answer any general burning questions anyone might have about it, though.

Interesting looking game, my friend has been harping about this for a while now. But with U2, Brutal Legend and Demon Souls all coming out, I have no money or time for a FPS RPG.
