487913 words, at this very moment. :3 It's not going to fluctuate much any more.

Technically, you'd need 88 words for it to be longer than 488k.

I'm off work for 2 days starting January 5th, so I'm hoping that by the time I'm home from work on the 4th that the game's been released.

Very excited I must say, well done to all the folks involved for achieving this and for making it something truly special. Been following since the start of 2011 so I've not had quite as arduous a wait as some, but regardless it's nice to see this project come to fruition.

I'll probably stop lurking on the forums the moment the game's downloaded...it's way too easy to run into spoilers these days.

Most of us are going to unplug our ethernet and smash our modem the second that the game finishes downloading.

1 week. So close, yet still so trivially agonising. It'll go by quick enough though.

I'm hoping that it's up by the time I'm home from work that day (roughly 7pm GMT), as then I can spend a little while seeding the torrent (providing my ISP doesn't throttle the living hell out of it) whilst I play. I've not torrented anything for literally years, but I believe that aiding distribution of this is a good cause.

yeah, pretty much my post when the game's released is going to be something thanking the devs and then saying "see you guys in a few months after I hit 100%", 'cause there's no way in hell I want this game spoiled for me.

[Fishpick]

I don't know for sure if I'm going to be able to get to it right away. Got some stuff on the go. Haven't actually done any gaming at all for a while. So not sure how long I'll be disappearing for when the game gets released. But I'm also not letting it get spoiled on me so...

I'll become less withdrawn than when Skyrim came out...that is about all I can promise.
