Central European Timer's - who's gonna stay up late tonight??

Okaay...
When I found out chapter 5 would be released on a Tuesday I first thought about not downloading / playing it before the following weekend.

Yesterday I thought: "Ah, what the heck...I'm gonna play it the day it comes out: tomorrow."

This morning (CET time) I caught up on the news on this site and read about the "PST AFTERNOON" release. My thought: "Ah, well, that's going to be too late for me, I'll have to work tomorrow and all...gonna play it Wednesday after work."

NOW (6:50 pm CET) with the first spoilerish reviews popping up everywhere, torturing me in my excitement even more, I don't give a damn anymore.

So I'm now opening the club of CET timers: Who's gonna be with me, staying up all night for the release and if it'll be 2 am??

    Well, I'll make an exception. :D Been to the UK for the first time this year and found that one hour does not make THAT big a difference. *lol*

    Hey guys, it's somewhat heartwarming to see that I'm not the only Monkey Island Maniac around here who plans on doing this. :)

    If you live in the east of england, technically you are in the same time zone as France. is that CET?

    I may end up staying up myself. it depends.

    Well I waited for the first chapter for ages. Got up quite early in the morning and stayed up very late but had to give up cos TTG had some sort of server meltdown and had to delay the release by several hours.

    I definitely intend to stay up until the game is released. Whether I'll stay up until I've played it through remains to be seen. I probably will though.

    You hear that Telltale? If you release it too late, you're responsible for why I'm late to work tomorrow. :p

    I'm in London. Mermaid is an hour ahead of me, so I guess not. :)

    I wish I could.
    I have to write an important class test tomorrow and I wont be able to do so if I stay up.
    Especially considering my internet conection is really lame.
    It would take hours just to download it.

    Lol, I was just thinking the EXACT same thing staring at my bed when I walked past my bedroom. I even dreamt of TOMI last night, it was a nightmare though: my graphics card died and I wasn't able to launch the game! :eek:

    I didn't realize you were from London. Lucky you! That city's awesome.

    Sh... I forgot to decorate my desk Monkey Islandish! :eek: This is....unforgivable...

    Hey all you Germans, we might have still enough time to make out a central meeting point somewhere in the middle of Germany, drive there and celebrate the night of chapter 5 before the release actually happens. :D

    That's my plan. At least I'll wait for the download 'til midnight or a little longer (only 4 hours and 45 minutes 'til midnight over here...). I don't know if I'll start playing already then, but probably at least the opening sequence...

    CET is GMT+1. You'll have to get closer to Berlin before you're in CET.

    You know it's kinda like an addictive drug, you have just little sample and then you can't let go of it :D

    Hey! You all got at least a camera in your cell phone, right? Let's all take a picture of ourselves tomorrow morning, right after the alarm clock went off! I'll make a montage out of the pictures, calling it "The Late Night Release Zombies" and send it to Telltale as token of our gratitude.

    Who's in?? :D
