Vikedal says: he hasn't told me yet, but he's planning on relasing the "Update" tomorrow. I'm not gonna get mad about this, but I do want something done about it. If not, I will take further action. I want some sort of scan proving this guy isn't M A T T all over again. Gotta go. ========== Most likley a joke/hoax, but obviously dont download AW 4.0's floating around the internet these few weeks |
