And why is that so?
Because if the official release date is December 15, 2009, then how can the winner be the person who chose December 2009? That is not an exact date; that choice spans approximately 30 days instead of 1 day. Furthermore, if someone chose 'December 15,' December 15 when? December 15, 2043, December 15, 251516603, December 15, 4543? - a.j.g
well then I choose December 15, 2009
i already beat you to it.
okay I will change it to December 16, 2009

It's about time I threw in a guess. After all, I've been here for far too long to not be involved in such an interesting game. (Sorry to whoever may have also guessed this date; I did not read through the other guesses first to double-check.)

My guess was chosen arbitrarily, but had some logic to it. I'm guessing a script re-write would take about two or three months, especially considering Marc's injury and the general size of the game's script. (To grasp the size of the game's script, check the "Current Status" thread for those magazine scans of Marc's interview.) Updates went dark around the end of June, and, if I understand things correctly, a large amount of focus this year has been placed on platform testing. (For example, the PSP has been given quite a bit of attention.) Though I don't have much information on the project, I think sometime mid- to late-October sounds fairly logical.

If I may go off-topic, it's the game of not thinking about the game.

Basically, you pretend life is a game. When you acknowledge it as a game, you lose. It's supposed to be a thought-provoking concept mixed with a frustrating loop of acknowledgment/failure.

When you turn 14, "the game" stops being "fun."

I'd totally forgotten about it. For years. Hell, I had to Google "The Game" when I saw someone mention how they'd lost.
