Asking because there’s a TV show coming out soon that I’m excited for, but I’m having flashbacks of all the times I’ve had to wait up to two years for something to come out, often due to delays.
Starting in 2016 I spent four entire years looking forward to the end of the Trump presidency.
Shit.
Silksong 🥲 waiting since 2019, release window in 2023 was cancelled in the last month of the window, no communication since except “we’re still working on it”. Subreddit has gone crazy unlike anything I’ve ever seen, someone from there possibly offed themselves a couple weeks ago due to their shitposting.
I can’t wait to read history books about it
A bit silly. I picked up the Holy Mightstone quest item on my WoW paladin in like 2005, and decided to save it to use, someday, to get some RP revenge on Arthas. I held on to it until facing him down I’m WotLKs Icecrown Citadel raid, and used it on our first boss attempt. I want to say that was 7 years but I can’t be arsed to look it up.
Immediately wiped, of course, but winning was never the point.
I’ve been building a house myself for four years. I move in in 3 weeks.
Congratulations!
I’m looking forward to becoming a character in an action movie.
Ya know, the guns-ablazing war movies, or some disaster movie where everyone is trying to survive, chaos everywhere?
Maybe I could stop being bored and can enjoy some excitment in a irl movie plot
except, I’d probably be the side character that dies in the first 10 minutes… 🙃
Have you made any homemade movies? That’s where I would start, and many have begun their path by doing that.
Lol I was making a joke about how crazy the world is and I might end up in a real war/disaster scenario
15 years.
The time between losing my first child and having my second.
Been waiting 8 years to be told I’m allowed to turn my pp into a not pp 🥲 More waiting to go yet
I believe in you!
Half Life 3
still waiting
It’s not much, but an intro for Project Borealis has actually been released! There’s only ~10 minutes of gameplay/content and it doesn’t run great, but the artistic direction looks promising.
I was just waiting for next Half-Life. And Alyx delivered big time. So guess that reset the timer :D
I feel it’ll not be done during my lifetime, but the hope is still there.
Duke Nukem Forever. Announced in 1997 and released 2011 💀
Well, I’m a Star Citizen backer, so…
Your grandkids are going to have a blast! :D
F
The Winds of Winter? At this point though I’m not sure I’m actually waiting anymore.
you know what, this is, probably mine also.
I read all the books that were out before the show was even announced, and didn’t realize that the story wasn’t finished.
then the show started and I was like oh well, at least they have to finish the novels before the TV show will be fully produced.
joke was on me.
They were marketing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (though not by name, because it didn’t have a name yet) before the WiiU was released. And they strung everybody along until after the Switch was released.
Fuckers! I was an early adopter of the WiiU because “well, I’ll for sure want one when the WiiU exclusive Zelda title comes out.”
Man I was so hyped for Zelda HD back in the day off of that TP art style demo. The hype cycle around BotW was wild
Several years I was looking forward to turning 18 :-)
Oh shit. I turn 30 in November… I’ve been waiting damn near 30 years for that…
16 years. Star Wars: Episode I.
For most things if I’m gonna be waiting more than a few weeks, I’ll let myself kind of forget about it and then enjoy it whenever it happens.
That said, I didn’t do that for The Wheel of Time TV show. I learned about it relatively late; a few months before release, and then spent a lot of time reading up on it, looking into the cast, watching trailers, interacting with WoT communities online, and just generally getting kind of hyped. Most people seemed pretty positive about it. It was looking like it might actually be a good adaptation of one of my favorite book series.
Then it came out and it was the single most disappointing adaptation I’ve seen since Eragon.
