I'm gonna sit right here until I get some news on this... Well, ok maybe not. But I'd sure like to....
Waiting and waiting and waiting…
Dear Metal Slug Tactics... I'd sure love to hear something about you again.. I've never met you, but I miss you.
I can feel myself getting older.
Two years and counting.
@Phipanjo and now your wait is finally over.
Waited so long for this. And all I got was another Roguelike. I'm pretty disappointed.
After all this time, it looks like we finally may meet face to fact this week-end. I hope I'm not disappointed, after all, I've heard some things recently.
