Anyone have any idea what time it'll be up on the TTG download page in GMT time? I have an economics mock exam at 10am so I'd like to have it installed by then if possible.
Not a hope. It won't be made available until all Telltale staff are in the office. That translates to anywhere between 4pm and midnight for us. Btw we're on BST now.
hm.. it says 5/18 pacific standard time, but it's 1am here... and it's 5/18 here... and here is california so that's pacific... i donno man, i just don't know
4am? OMFG, again? Daym! oh well, I am definitely not staying up for this one. i would if it release from thursday ---->, but I have to learn now... anyway, i wont be playing it for a while... dont anyone on the forum spoil it for me! lolol, like thats gonna happen. but at lease use SPOILER TAGS please, because I like to... browse... these forums sometimes... actually, i think i spend all my free time here...
Well, looks like it's going to be somewhere near midnight for me as well..
Thank goodness I have a day-off from school tomorrow, staying up and waiting shouldn't be a problem (and what's more rewarding than new S&M, after half-sleeping through two 90-minute math lessons in a row tonight? I'm willing to wait!)
Man, I have never been confused about the time that Telltale releases their games. I even have the second time on my watch and computer set as Pacific time, so what's the deal with people being so confuzzled about when the game's coming out? It'll be between 8am and 12 noon PST.
I don't see how that's "near midnight", but maybe Trica thinks 2 hours is 'near'.
(All still assuming it releases the same time as 301)
Well, 2 hours isn't that far from midnight now, is it? (and yes, when I said "somewhere near" I was thinking it would be roughly 10-11PM. )
But even if the episode came around 10PM in Finland's time, with our internet connection it would take almost an hour to download it. (+ disconnections, I had to re-download Penal Zone about 3 times because of the traffic)
So it still would be almost midnight when I get to play.

You might want to consider a download manager then. It's an application that can resume downloads if your connection fails (if the site you download from supports it, which Telltale's site does if I recall correctly).
If you've got Firefox, a good download manager addon is DownThemAll, which is also useful to download multiple files at once from a site.
Another download manager I use sometimes is Free Download Manager, which, like the name says, is completely free, and pretty easy to use.
I hope that'll save you some time, bandwidth and stress
Ok, this forum is most likely dead now that ep. 2 has been released, but there's no real other place to put this.. so, I just would like to congratulate you, Telltale, on making maximus's psychic vision have ghostly hats and moustaches on everything
In the final version of the game, Nefertiti's curse is the
"Holstein Hex"
. In the original design, Her curse was
"Embarrassing Personal Problem." This would manifest differently based on certain conditions. For instance, you might come away with halitosis or flatulence...or you might be cursed with "Male Lactation Syndrome"
.
You can guess the rest. I don't really blame Steve Purcell for nixing this.
We initially replaced the puzzle with a much more convoluted one involving spiked milk. Snowcone's reference to "jolly juice" in little arctic circle, and Spot the Snake's appearance on the train, are both vestigial remains of this other cut puzzle. It was nice, but it would have made the sequence a little unwieldy.

Click the link to see what time it will be where you are.
Won't be until the next day at 6am for me...
Ahh, wrong date.
Thought it was tomorrow.
Which it is for us Australians.

So lets say i can get back to my laptop at around 3:30 Pacific time would it be up then?

Seeing Jake's post... they wont.

Gimme!
Honestly can't wait...
...and then the servers will crash as we try to download all at the same time!:D
That that hasn't happened is a sign we should now all flail about in blind panic...
And thanks for the links, Didero! I'll try the Firefox add-on for starters, let's see how it will go
Can we get the lowdown on the cut puzzle? Pretty pretty please?
Seconded.
(Here we go again
You have to say "Fourthed"! Or something like that!

My first thought when I needed to get milk was to milk the snake. Don't ask me why I thought that though,... 0_0
YAY!
Oh my god
Thanks for telling us. Really ^^!
