Soo... is "Dec 8 Afternoon PST" 12:00PM or 12:01PM...?

Over here it is 1.30AM on December the 9th. Woop! So I'm guessing that I have to wait until this:

http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/usa/pacific-time/

says "12:01PM"...? Who agrees?

Or is "afternoon" just a general time stated only to placate the rabid masses, and will it come out at 4:59PM?

OH GOLLY... I think this may be what true insanity feels like.

    I'm going to quote 3D realms here. " It's ready, when it's ready."

    I'm very impressed by the calmness of your responses Giant Tope and IcedHope. Meanwhile I fear I may be sick with excitement... Alas, I have work in the morning. So I might hit the hay and then resume my madness tomorrow! :D

    "Afternoon" as I've always heard it used references any time from 12:00 through 16:00 or sometimes even as late as 17:00. After that is usually "evening"/"night" and prior to that is usually "morning". And let's not forget that PST is GMT-8 so 12:00 PST is 20:00 GMT and 17:00 PST would be 01:00 GMT 09 Dec. ;)

    As for the release date as long as it's out BEFORE 08:00 GMT on 09 Dec. then it was still officially released on 08 Dec. PST. :cool:

    A very poor excuse for sarcasm, to be honest.

    Every time we list will be a time they intentionally don't release it at. So thanks to the threat topic, we now have to wait at least another 120 seconds to download it.

    All I know is, I need to get my hands on MI2 and Curse. I'm missing out. :(

    I haven't played MI2 yet, but wasn't it all a dream anyway? so it technically never happened:p

    You definately need to pick up Curse though. You would have missed out on some of the funniest puns in chapter two, and the song in chapter 4 would have had no meaning.

    LucasArts should re-release all of them, because no matter where I go, I'm barraged with ridiculous prices and insane wait times.

    The thing is, the games ARE available now, (second hand and over priced maybe, but they are still there). To pirate would be to deprive these people of potential revenue.

    Afternoon is the time of day from 12:00 p.m. (noon) to — depending upon context — evening, sunset, or 6:00 p.m. Its use is often quite subjective.

    The term should not be confused with "after noon" (two separate words), which is a translation of the Latin "post meridiem" (p.m.) as used in the 12-hour clock, meaning a time of day from noon to midnight.

    The only one of them I don't own is MI2. It has simply been impossible to track down locally. The only one I haven't played through from end to end is MI4. Make of that what you will.

    In any case, with luck the game comes out when I get home from work, so I can finish it before I have to go to sleep.

    Actually, resale gets the developers nothing, so he's only depriving people who would gouge you because something is hard to come by. That said, you should have all bought them when they were new. I recently tried to have my MI2 3.5in floppies replaced(they're old, and disk 2 isn't readable), LucasArts wouldn't do it :(

    Thanks to Curse, it was NOT a dream at all. Don't you ever wonder why the beginning of Curse started as it did?

    I just though, considering the random start to SMI, it was just some wierd thing. So, the carnival of the damned was in MI2?

    Other people appear to have an icon (unless there's some more irony I dn't understand going on). I don't even have that..... :( Although, the "coming on 8th December" thing's gone. With any luck, by the time I've finished typing this it'll be ready to download.
