Mother Nature strikes, Fancast delayed ...

Sad, sad news fanboys, the Fancast will not make a Monday release this week due to Mother Nature acting up. An evil ice storm has swept across the Midwest causing mass hysteria, power outages and is the root of our Fancast delay. But all is not lost fanboys, because you can be sure that we're fighting Mother Nature tooth and nails to bring you your Fancast as soon as humanly possible. She will fall eventually, her ice storm will be crushed and power will be restored to all of Oklahoma. Until then, we ask that you wait, be patient and your Fancast should be available by Tuesday. Mother Nature is going down.

Will not buy from again. Still waiting on my item because of "Mother Nature." Also, he won't respond to my emails.

Hey now, I'm not native here but Oklahoma's pretty nice...and apparently going under some sort of renaissance. It's even got a whole town made of bricks! Also, I've realized that there's really not much to do without electricity. And it gets cold too. Real cold.
That said, that picture looks like my backyard. And, well, the rest of the state. Bah.

Argh... the ice storm may cancel my Calculus and Philosophy final! That may sound good, but they'll be reschedueled to the first day of the next semester! Study over winter break? That's Xbox time!
CJ Strike @ Dec 10th 2007 11:09PM
Midwest eh? Where are you guys located? I am in Ames, IA. I'd like to see an ice storm being that I have finals tomorrow!
Digital Limit @ Dec 10th 2007 11:16PM
Don't rush the product - people following the gaming world should know that best!
BananaBoat @ Dec 10th 2007 11:29PM
I'm in KC, and my finals have been cancelled aswell. I think they will be later in the week though, and not the first day of next semester like someone above.
I'm just hoping my power stays on...can't play COD4 without the power on.
UNSCleric @ Dec 10th 2007 11:42PM
Me and Dustin are safe here in MInnesota. :) Don't worry Dustin, I will hold you and keep your warm if the ice ever comes to our area.
Logan @ Dec 11th 2007 12:07AM
Are there still outlaws there?
dishwasher @ Dec 11th 2007 12:24AM
I didint know you guys were from oklahoma..
I am in southern oklahoma (like less than a mile from texas) but it isnt even frozen here just cold and wet and really not as cold as you might think.. guess OKC got the worst of it.
flippy_squirrel @ Dec 11th 2007 1:03AM
No worries XB3F, I went to the store and got a case of "Aquanet" I'll be releasing it into the atmosphere soon enough in an attempt to over-power mother nature. That old bitch has trumped us long enough...
hellvector @ Dec 11th 2007 3:52AM
We're getting it pretty hard right now in Missouri. Luckily my 360 RRoD'd early enough this morning that I was able to get out and buy a new Falcon Elite and return to playing Rock Band.
El Tiante @ Dec 11th 2007 6:08AM
Clear skies and 71f here in south FL
Jon @ Dec 11th 2007 8:12AM
81 F in Houston Texas, wtf?
Limestallc @ Dec 11th 2007 8:20AM
I am here in St. Louis and thankfully my power is still on and going strong.
Justin Fletcher @ Dec 11th 2007 8:29AM
Just got in to work at Wichita and its mostly rain here, with patches of slushy ice. It is a little strange to see this much rain in December.
Larry *not allowed to say cheevo* @ Dec 11th 2007 9:37AM
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Can you guys just call me on a conference call and talk about games?
VoldaK @ Dec 11th 2007 9:43AM
That is cool that there are some Oklahomans on here. I live by Ardmore. The weather isn't too bad here, just really cold and raining. Luckily no power outages here :)
OKC did get it worse than we did.
Triese @ Dec 11th 2007 10:37AM
Thats funny, I'm originally from Ardmore. I'm surprised to see so many people from OK on this site.
HazyCloud @ Dec 11th 2007 11:10AM
Native Oklahoman here. My area (OKC) did get it pretty bad. My power has been out since Sun @ 10pm. My house my be somewhere in the 40s. I could honestly see my own breath indoors yesterday.
I also need to mention the passing of my 5 chiclids and my eel. They were great pets. Damn you Mother Nature! First my fancast, now my fish!
On a lighter note, my horse and buggy seem to be alright.
Jon @ Dec 11th 2007 6:07PM
My friend lives in OKC, but I just found out there are more than two of you guys there apparently so you might not know him. Anywho, sorry to hear about your pets :(
joshi_xeon @ Dec 11th 2007 3:57PM
Yeah I cant get the maps now I am only online at work :( STUPID NATURE!
Jeramy @ Dec 11th 2007 5:51PM
i think stillwater is one of the few towns to be in the path of the ice storm that didn't really get much damage. i still had my finals this week (which is good, because i am now officially done with the semester) and power is just fine. i know that a lot of the okc metro is in darkness right now, and my parents' house up towards tulsa is without power as well (which would explain richard's demise in this).
and, man, all of those oklahoma jokes are really lame. i'm not against humorous put-downs, but shit, man, try and be clever at least.
