I don't know how big the game will be, though I suspect it will be a great deal larger than 30MB. (I feel your pain... my ISP doesn't suck, but it's still dial-up. :P)

I just wanted to say that a download manager program will help with your disconnect problem, since it should let you pause a download before you get booted/sign off, and then resume it after you reconnect. (It also might be able to keep track of the download even if you don't get to pause it before you get booted. And a download manager might be able to automatically reconnect and resume, if you really wanted to do that.) Or you could download Opera, and get a pause/resume capable download manager *and* a kick-ass browser. (It doesn't do auto reconnect and resume, though, AFAIK.)

Or you could just get a better ISP. ;)

Peace & Luv, Liz

Um, I'm guessing that it'll be like 100 to 200 mb, considering the screenshots I've seen so far. Maybe even bigger.

Fading into nothing.

Yeah, that would happen right after they finish building the perpetual motion machine  ;D

200 mb is short. Way too short.

Even when I doubt we will have "videos" per se (as in avis, Mpgs, etc), the amount of cutscenes is VAST. This game is very much like a movie :)

Yes! thank you Say. For a moment there I thought it would be just a couple of Kilobytes  ;)

Why not? I'm on dial-up, and I've downloaded 60+MB files a number of times. It's a pain, but it's doable. (Of course, I'm hoping that Harrison and I will get free CD-burned copies from the team or something... (wink, nudge))

Peace & Luv, Liz

So? You download for four hours, pause it, disconnect and reconnect, download for four more hours, etc. ;)

Well the fisherman told me that he used to be a space pilot :o, and he was in space when an alien got stuck to the window so he got out and pulled the alien off ;D, but then he was getting back in and his arm got caught in the door, and it was ripped off :-\

So im guessing that it is probably at Pluto by now XB

HAHAHAHAHAHA!! WTF? that means, that the answer to how big is it, its considered the distance of a unknown fisherman pointing from here (I have no idea where is here) to pluto? lol ;P

hey, that makes sense :D

So he is as far away from Pluto as he can get now XD
