I think you are the only one of the staff (or rather former staff) to actually try and make members rethink their actions and try to do something with their time. XD (Without the use of warnings or being scary XD)
Also for the others, I highly suggest you take heed to his words. Once, Gateway had to do an update (I've said it many times but I'll say it again).
They say they will deliver the update. And I'm pretty sure they will. But from my experience, it is
never soon, or rather, as soon as you would like. 7 months of waiting for THIS update from THEM, is actually not that impossible of a situation, it may happen again. if you truly again, need to play 3DS games,
either buy one as a treat or buy a Sky3DS.
Or better yet, buy a 4.5 3DS to get a little taste of what you'll experience soon on the new 3DS.
If you can't do these things, then calm your mind, take your mind off it, and do something else. Waiting here all day impatiently (and some like rabid animals even) isn't fun at all and I'm pretty sure you think that too. Try to get your mind of it by doing something you like and don't even come back soon, as you will be disappointed. Do ANYTHING enjoyable to take your mind off it. I can tell you that it works effectively and you will get less pissed at the wait.
This post will probably get ignored because I am just "a simple member" here, but hey, you can at least try.
Also if you are a Chrome user (I think it offers for Firefox as well): get Page monitor and set it to Gateway's page. It will alert you THE SECOND a change is made to the page, no need to spam F5 and you'll be able to relax without checking every few minutes.
