I love these launch teasers

Well I guess we know for a fact that the Citadel is still standing. It also looks like we will get the "snow" everyone wanted. The HDR looks kinda cool, but "soft". Also, Valve needs to stop with the cheesy quotes!

I've made a nice thread at the Steampowered.com forums on specific time releases. Check it out here.

Feath · May 31, 2006

I like the quotes. They've got a tongue in cheek feel about them.

bbson john · May 31, 2006

What does "your back" refer to?

Feath · May 31, 2006

Watching someone's back means looking out for them.

Same.

It's a nice change from the norm.

oMeSSiaHo · May 31, 2006

Actually I changed my mind and agree with the tounge in cheek statement. I dunno, maybe I'm just so used to corny lines coming from video games.

bigburpco · May 31, 2006

Woo. Finally.

On other news: Episode One is a day and 14 hours away.

We are GMT -4 here. So by 2PM for us in EDT. ... Ugh. Long wait. :x

bigburpco · May 31, 2006

Mine's at 2am. That's really annoying especially when you don't get to use the computer.

There is an error there. If Valve is releasing EP1 @ 10:00am PST that means its coming out 1pm east. Now 2pm

Difference between -4 GMT and and -7 GMT which is Valves time (Not -8) is 3 hours

http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/usa/washington-state/seattle/index.htm = Valves time

http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/usa/new-york/index.htm = My time

= EP1 comes out 1PM Not 2. You have all the times 1 hour ahead.

Whoa... That's weird - Since when is PDT -7 and not -8?

Mmm, all the maps in that post say -8?

bigburpco · May 31, 2006

Valve's time is PDT, isn't it? They provided a link for DoD: S to let people know what time it would be released, and there it showed that Valve's time is -8.

Asuka · May 31, 2006

Lol. Dunno its always been like that for as far as i know.

Iv played all release games the sec they came out and its ALWAYS been 3 hours ahead of Valve time. For Half-Life 2 the game came out @ 3 am. 3 hours ahead of Valves time. Not 4 hours. Its always been this way, always 3 hours ahead.

BeaverMon · May 31, 2006

Very interesting there, Raziel-Jcd. I was going by that WorldTimeZones.com and it showed this;

Standard Time Zone: GMT/UTC - 05:00 hour
Daylight Saving Time: DST in use +1 hour
Current Time Zone offset: GMT/UTC - 4:00

Also, it's listed at the bottom of this site;
All times are GMT -4. The time now is 11:03 PM.

And that's the current time I have here in Southern Indiana. We wheren't affected by the change Indiana made to turn EST to EDT.

Ah, see in the Spring/Summer (DST), Mountain State Time is added to some states. I remember this from my ex Counter-Strike clan - We always had to go by the clan leaders time; he lived in Arizona; while the rest of us were in California, always an hour behind him.

So, I think I still need to figure out that to change though.

Iced_Eagle · May 31, 2006

Man nobody bash the quotes they are funny

I'm sure the quotes are meant to be taken with a sense of humor.... That's what I've done, and all of the quotes have rocked

BeaverMon · May 31, 2006

Well I guess I will find out if I get it at 1 or 2PM my time.

I just added up the times just to make sure and ya it comes out at 1 pm east. (-4 GMT)

01 Days, 13 Hours, 48 Minutes, 24 Seconds

37 hours and 50 mins to release

Its 11:10PM now

So 11:12 + 37 hours 50 mins = 1 pm east.

Anus.Face · May 31, 2006

Retail stores are retarded...trust me i work in one.

irishman212 · May 31, 2006

where can i go to see this new trailer...i cant get it on Steam =(

Mr-Fusion · May 31, 2006

The little quips aren't funny, they're just sad. It's massively turning me off half-life!! It's like fingernails scratching on a blackboard. They just don't fit in there.

What's happening to valve? They're marketing used to be so cool and mysterious. This is just pants.

Javert · May 31, 2006

Hate to be so OT, but are preloads resumeable downloads? I forget.

BeaverMon · May 31, 2006

Yeah. You can pause it at anytime.

Dodo · May 31, 2006

haha !

i knew it ! i was right about the dark clouds being a vortex in the sky !

if you watch the movie you can clearly see it spin like a vortex with a red glow close to the center ...

-dodo

Zephos · May 31, 2006

That teaser was pretty darn good...not combat wise but in what it showed story/environment wise. Not too revealing, but enough to wet our appetites.

liPillON · May 31, 2006

drunkymonkey · May 31, 2006

It kicks ass.
