Can we please, please, please, please, PLEASE get an exact time with timezone included and all for this release?
Nope, sorry. It'll be sometime between nine in the morning and five in the afternoon (pacific time) on the 8th. We really can't narrow it down more than that.
Last time, we started the process of putting the game out a good four hours before it ended up coming out. The delay was due to several things, some that were completely out of our control. (I mean, it took an hour *just* for all of the preorder notifications to mail out!)
Even if we came out and said "It's going to come out at X o'clock on the dot!" this would probably not end up being true, and then you guys would just get mad at us. Don't worry, though... releasing a game will be our top priority on the 8th. It's not like we're all going to be sitting around surfing the internet all day and then look up at 4:30 and go "Hey, wait, weren't we supposed to do something today?"

Do you have a hidden camera in my house, or something? >_>

Between 9 and 5 is perfectly fine
At least that narrows it a lot more than midnight 8th in New Zealand till midnight 9th in California.
As long as people keep making new threads asking why the new episode is on gametap and not for everyone else we're going to do this again. :eek: And you're going to like it!
I regularly post on a super-secret user created board on a major website where I'm expected to conform to their non-conformist ways. That justifies my existence, and my smiley posting style. ^_^
Too bad I have class until 6 PM CT that day. By then, everyone would have probably played it, and I'll have missed the Season Subscriber window to download it.
I think the placement of special characters depends on where you bought the keyboard. As a stupid, simple example, I doubt in Europe they have the "$" symbol as shift-4. That would be waste of a top level special character for most of the world, which rarely has to write a US dollar symbol.
I've got a swedish keyboard and we can reach the dollar sign with alt-4. The euro sign is alt-e. (Both are not used very often as Sweden still has it's own currency).

Nope Even non-Mac keyboards (European) have a $ symbol on the 4 key. :P
Edit: I think I do have an European Mac keyboard, though. I just noticed a Euro currency sign on the 2 key.
And yes, the apostrophe is used to abbreviate the year date worldwide, even in the UK! Unless this was cleared up for our extra terrestrial friends (you know they're out there; Sam & Max have met them a few times in the comics/series).

It's meant to simulate shifty eyes. Often used in conjunction with: <_<
How is that done on the keyboard? (English keyboard ` ~ buttons...)
(use the numeric keypad for the numbers)

"Alt Gr"+6
Option-l opened my mail client.

There's no accounting for taste crazy European keyboards!

Oh, I see what's going on... tut-tut, TellTale. Tut-tut.
Nope
Edit: I think I do have an European Mac keyboard, though. I just noticed a Euro currency sign on the 2 key.

The apostrophe in front of the 07 means it's the year.
This is a very commonly used way to abbreviate month/year dates.

The Euro sign on the 2 should be the only difference, I think.

Also, what's on the key to the left of the 1? That looks different than ours but it's hard to tell.
The key next to the 1 would be: § (paragraph) and ±.
Now I wonder what's on yours :P
