    Could a game really be rated M from profanity alone, though? Something tells me the only thing offensive about this game would be Tycho's extreme pottymouth.

    But since it isn't being rated I suppose it doesn't matter, though.

    I think you can get away with f-words in a T rated game. When the c-words start coming in thats when it gets nasty. (I'm not talking about crap)

    Will you stop looking at the Steam date? It's not reliable at all.

    Um, no it doesn't, it says it unlocks in 8 hours. Which is PST: 5 PM and EST: 8 PM

    It would probably have to be one or two F-words, and it'd probably help if it's not entirely gratuitous. If the game uses it all the time, I kind of doubt it -- an M rating is roughly akin to an MPAA rating of R, and they only allow the F-word once or twice for a PG-13 rating.

    I doubt the c-words show up too often in video games (not counting extreme cases like games about thugs and gangsters, where obviously you can expect to hear anything and everything)...

    Who is Hobo and why is he already playing Poker Night? He doesn't seem to be from TTG, and he's in Austrailia.

    (People are in the TTG TF2 Steam chat, and one guy is playing the Poker Night Beta.)

    EDIT: Nevermind, he could have renamed a external application.

    is it a steam-game or a non-steam game he is playing?

    Rawr, hopefully it will release in the next 3 hours :3

    It says that because you propably have EU-steam like I do. 8 hours will be 3:00 23 Nov in Finland.

    Sigh.. I know this from every release from TT, yet I still manage to get excited until the day comes, and I remember the time schedule again...

    (I so hope that would be considered in the future for example: Release 22/23 Nov or Release 22 Nov PST)

    One more thing: Can I play Poker Night on Telltale if I bought it from Steam? If so, then how?

    Yeah, he probably renamed something(Non-Steam game).

    No. But you can play the Steam-version if you preordered from TTG.

    No, it is 2AM. Steam counter is stupid and count even minute as one additional full hour if it is just before hour would change.

    Ok, so much information coming from so much places, whats the deal? why wasn't the game released this morning like it was meant to be (GMT for me, steam said that it was ready for release in one hour this morning, now its gone to tommorow)

    All the people complaining about it being moved to the 23rd are in the UK. If you're from North America, it'll be out around 5PM PCT, meaning 6PM Central Time, and 7PM EST.

    The game is still being released today, November 22 (Pacific Time). That's during business hours for Telltale and Valve which might be the 23rd for people in different parts of the world. As for the wonky release info on Steam, that's likely due to an arbitrary release date/time being put in for the game on their end. Apologies.

    No need to apologise. That's how it has always been.

    My reasoning is that Valve usually with more traditional release cycles have the code ready to push on their servers a week or so before. If the countdown reaches zero and nothing's there then Steam explodes and Gabe has to go and turn all the servers off and on again.

    I'm sure that some of that's kind of right

    That's quite fine, no need to excuse yourselves. If I may ask is my 5pm Pacific time assumption correct?

    8pm here and I'll not sleep until the game is available ^^
    Such a hype each time, simply can't wait.

    No, with the world being a globe there is no way November 22 somewhere isn't another day somewhere else, regardless of the hour. They've always given release dates for their own time.

    It's Steam only, no stand-alone release.
