I wasn't on the forum yet, but i've also follow all of theses news.

Isn't it amazing to look at the timeline and remember what was going through your head at that point? Now we're almost at release it's just crazy to believe it's almost here after waiting so long.

Indeed it is, only 22 days to go go :D
