Go watch this movie if you need to kill time. It's Sodenberg's Contagion from 2011, it's an awesome movie about a virus outbreak and how it slowly grinds society to a halt. It's a thriller, not an action movie.

This movie is the perfect prologue to The Division, truly.

Looks familiar, doesn't it?
Yes, it is. Watched it last night.

Totally agreed. One of the greatest pathogen-based doomsday scenario films I've watched.

As somebody who works in biotech R&D, the best thing about the movie is how sound and grounded in reality all of the science is that it presents. Nothing like CSI fantasy science bullshit. Everything that happens in the movie and how the events play out are entirely feasible if all the right conditions are met like they were in the film.

I like my science movies taking accurate things like mostly interstellar does or the martian for example also science.

Playing the model game on the division website also using real accuracy what could happen is also scary.

DigitalHitmann just tweeted this:

PSA: The beginning of the game is out there. It already got ruined for me. Had people sending me screenshots and dashboard pictures. FML.

Be wary out there, don't know how people have seen it.
 
I'm off Monday so I'm planning on sitting by the XB1 at 7:59am

Well I'm off until Friday so on Monday I plan on using my sons copy until he gets back in.

Amazon are obnoxiously accurate with their pre-order deliveries so I'm not expecting my Gold Edition until Tuesday.

I thought the server were opening on Monday afternoon in UK/EU??
If it's the morning I'm setting an alarm!

If hes talking about the reddit images which first originated on GAF, again, all it spoiled was the tutorial location area, which im sure 70% of people know already who visited gaming boards.

It's 8am Eastern, however that translates to you.

Gone Gold haha, shipping email from Amazon finally arrived, now to just play the waiting game.

Is it Tuesday yet?

I really hope he is just referring to Brooklyn, cause all that took was common sense. If it's something else, then I might have to stay off the forums until Monday night.

Refresh my memory again on the plot:

Doesn't Matt Damon's wife or child die in this movie too or something? They are unable to stop the virus overall right? Bad ending? Been so long since I've watched it. I remember it being solid, but not really that great. A lot of missed opportunities to really nail the panic (store looting, killings, turning on each other) it didn't really try to capture the whole picture. Which I feel was a bad idea. :/

I need to stop reading this thread. I've been avoiding it but damn are we close.

Can't stop, can't stop the hype
I won't stop, I won't stop the hype
