    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    Where do you live, exactly? It might be the 23rd for you (which does suck), but for Telltale's offices "in 9 hours" means the 22nd.

    So don't worry, it's not a delay. In fact, unless Steam is lying again (which is certainly a possibility), this means we have a better idea for when it'll come out! :)

    Well I'm in the UAE and right now it's about 7:30 PM. At least if it does come out 9 hours from now I can play it in the morning.

    Eastern Canada here claims release is the 22nd in 9 hours... meaning it'll be out at 7PM -_-'

    Let's just hope that Valve's trolling us.

    I can confirm this now as the timer just clicked down to 8 hours, meaning we still have a good wait ahead of us!

    TTG doesn't share your timezone you know.

    And don't kill me for saying this, but the later it releases the better for me, I'm just too damn busy today >.>

    Gorgotha, you only just joined the forums today, so I'll cut you a little slack and explain some things. Telltale Games is a company based in California in the US. They ARE NOT like other game companies that have the game ready for a month or more in advance of the release date, but are in fact tweaking it right up to the minute they decide it's ready. Pretty much, as soon as it's done, they pull everything down, upload it, bring everything back up and you can get your grubby little paws on it. When they advertise a release date, it has and always will mean PST (UTC - 08:00). That time which to you is 12 is only 4 PM to the good folks at Telltale. They would still very much be upholding their promise of a release date of the 22nd. So just hang in there, and you won't be getting it any later than the rest of us.

    The release time on Steam is a placeholder, which is why we had this mess last night in the first place. Telltale probably doesn't know when they're releasing it until the moment they release it. (They certainly didn't know last night.)

    And then it will take some extra time for the Steam release. As usual.

    I remember each of the Devil's Playhouse episodes releasing a full day later for Steam.

    Anyways, this is killing me. I hate poker, yet I need this game for some reason.

    Tf2 items? :D

    Eh, I can wait the spare few hours if that is what it takes for steam to release it. It's just, I kinda don't like it that most people got Poker Night at the Inventory just because of TF2 items. :/ I mostly got it because of the star cast. :]

    Just have to wait a few more hours before the game is released!

    Its Monday here and its currently 11:57 AM.

    I've forgotten what the wait was like. I was fine earlier today, now since they have started working, time has slowed down..... Worth the wait though hopefully! :D

    Also some ideas on what to do while you wait:

    Play a Sam & Max episode!
    Watch some of the cartoon!
    Read the comics!
    Watch some Homestar Runner Toons (I may do this. I just started on the sbemails)
    Play SBCG4AP!
    Read Penny Arcade Comics!
    Watch the "Meet the (insert class name)" Videos!
    Play TF2!
    Press your F5 button until it explodes!

    It's a Steamworks game. There's little point to posting a fake download link, because it would be busted [url=steam://install/8230]within five seconds[/url].

    Steam Stats: [Telltale] Jake- 2.9 hours.

    He has a head start, but we must overtake his lead!

    Are you saying that because you live in a different time zone, you are automatically several hours ahead of us?
