I am buying this game immediately when it comes out. I might even reserve a copy while I have the money now on amazon.com cause I can’t think of a day that I’ll ever be upset that I have a copy of this game.

Damnit you have no idea how excited I am for it. the problem is that I was real excited it would be march and now I see september, oh well.. I know that game has to be tough to get working 100%

It’s from the verb “abate” and it means one is holding one’s breath or panting shallowly, such as the hypoventilation which typically occurs before fainting.

kudos to Larriann for catching that.

Your enthusiasm is obvious and the game sounds great, but the mental image of you sitting there with a worm on your tongue? “…with baited breath…”.
I believe you REALLY meant “bated breath”. From Merriam Webster – to reduce the force or intensity of : RESTRAIN

Oooh! I’m not so excited about math, but I want to play this game a lot! (I wonder if I will be able to on my computer, such as it is?).

John Seabrook wrote an interesting (this would be a link if links were allowed: newyorker.com/fact/content/articles/061106fa_fact] profile on Wright a few months ago in the New Yorker that made it sound very tantalizing, and seeing the visuals even more so.
