Poker Night Countdown/ Impatient Waiters Anonymous

edited November 2010 in Poker Night at the Inventory / Poker Night 2
You know who you are. You're the person in Berlin sitting with three different alarms set to Telltale Time. Or that dude in Australia who keeps a clock set to Standard Pacific over their Devil's Playhouse poster set.

Well, right now it is 5AM on Sunday morning Pacific Time, or exactly 28 hours until Telltale opens its doors on Monday.

As we all know, a Monday release could really be as late as 5PM Telltale time (aka 36 hours from now), or in some rare cases even later (lookin' at you, City that Dares Not Sleep). What are you going to do in the next 28~36 or so hours until Poker Night's release?

Who else is jumping out of their seats?

    I'm doing a book signing tomorrow (which I hope goes well). Hopefully the game will be out once it's over.

    Oh hey, you're a published author? Congrats, I'm working on that myself.

    As for me, eh, not much, time just kinda passes on its own. But I'm eagerly awaiting Monday.

    I have school tomorrow, then callbacks for a play, then homework, then out to dinner...so it looks like I'll be playing either at midnight or on Tuesday. :(

    "But Whether Men Do." You can look it up on Amazon if you're interested.

    If Steam is to be trusted, then it comes out at 1AM MST here. Which I probably will be up at, and if anyone's curious that's Midnight PST, so it makes sense.

    I'm impatient.

    EDIT: And now I'm angry that I missed the sale on Arkham Asylum in the Games for Windows sale on the 17th.

    Steam say approx. 13 hours from now. Is that any indication for the Telltale time? 8am in the morning seems quite early for a Telltale game (for me. They don't start until it is 5pm).

    Is it wrong that my first reaction on seeing the cover is wondering if the book was an Asimov tribute? The author's name beginning with "R." like Asimov's own positronic creations certainly helps that sense along.

    I wouldnae count on Steam being in a position to push it through at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning GMT. Even Telltale are likely to be another twelve hours or so.

    Good job! Asimov's been my biggest influence. My writing's a lot more cynical than his, though.

    If you need some help passing the time, read through the dialouge ideas thread. There's a lot of hilarious dialouge there. (Except for pepsiboy's stuff which more hilarious in a Full Life Concequenses kind of way if you catch my drift.)

    Someone clearly has never seen a planned Steam launch before. Chances are, the team finish(ed) the game today/yesterday or maybe even Friday, and sent it off to Valve along with the models for TF2 weapons to ensure it would be ready for release.

    Whether it comes out at 5am or 5pm I'm in a lecture after lecture until 4, at which point I must drive home, meaning I'm not getting there until 6pm! (Damn University life)

    If I'm lucky, then I will finish work, come home, have some dinner, and spend the rest of the evening playing poker. If I'm not lucky, then I'll spend the entire of tuesday morning playing poker. Either way, I'll have some good quality time set aside for it!

    Yay! Thanks to both of you!

    Also, the wait is killing me despite being less than 24 hours away. I never thought I'd be so hyped for a poker game.

    8 AM UTC is 2 AM MST, not 1 AM. MST is UTC-7 during daylight saving time, and UTC-6 the rest of the time (i.e. now). 8 - 6 = 2.

    EDIT: No, you were right. I got it backwards: UTC-6 during DST, UTC-7 normally.
