Wasn't there something mentioned about a month with an 'r' in it, or was that pertaining to something else?
Hmmm.. Tea Olives (Osmanthus fragrans) bloom in months with an "r" in the name. (It's a horticulturist's tongue-in-cheek way of saying that they bloom off and on all year round.)
Seriously, it's only been a month since the official announcement. If they "shoot their wad" now, what will they have left to surprise us with six months from now, or a month before the release?
I personally think it's quite amusing to watch all of the blathering, writhing about, and frothing at the mouth going on here on the forums on a daily basis. I like to imagine the devs have a cork board somewhere in the studio where they tack up print-outs of the daily pick of the top ten tormented forum denizens, just for chuckles...
