When I was 14, I hoped that one day I would have a girlfriend. When I was 16 I got a girlfriend, but there was no passion, so I decided I needed a passionate girl with a zest for life. In college I dated a passionate girl, but she was too emotional. Everything was an emergency; she was a drama queen...

Is anyone else extra excited about this? Got mine pre-ordered from Play. I guess it's even more exciting for me now I'm putting up with Vista just to get the DX10 goodness. I really hope the gameplay matches the potential, and we're not left with another Far Cry pixel fest but nothing behind it.
