I think thats perfect. Because it still feels like its the 15th. + i never go to sleep. :/

 

[Mountain Man]

I can't see any viable reason why someone would want to fake something like this. It makes perfect sense.

I live in the U.S. eastern timezone, so it'll be 3 a.m. when the magic happens. I won't stay up for it, though I may go to bed early and get up an hour or two earlier on the 16th to grab some play time before I head off to work.

 

[DigiQ8]

looks true to me

 

[Lucifer]

10am at Finland, cool! I have cshool from 10am like 4hours so when I get at home with HL2 I can start play instantly.

If I got Lobster right with that Time Zone thing...

 

[Asuka]

I love the guys that can go to school or work on hl2 day. I would never be able to. In fact im staying home like that whole week.

 

[Silent_night]

what time would that be in canada?

 

[DigiQ8]

11AM in Kuwait

 

[DavE0r]

so 12am PST = 8am here in the UK. Owned me thinks

Daves Night of Monday 15th November:-

[guise]

8am GMT!? what the shit

id be happy with 8PM, no way am i waking up that early to play any game

 

[mortiz]

I'm at Uni that day during the morning, nevermind I'll call in sick .

 

[Maxi]

Ahh, that's good, 10 am.. I have three hours out of school from 11 am to 2pm! yay! hl2 madness!

 

[deltron zero]

I doesn't matter when they release it to me. I work til 4:30 on the 16th so I can't play it til then anyway. If they release it at 3am EST that's fine by me. That just means everyone will be updating hteir steam while I'm sleeping and I'll have more bandwidth when I do it after work.

Most people already preloaded so bandwidth wont be a problem. + valve wont let their bandwidth get filled on hl2 release day.

[Silent_night]

[AmishSlayer]

Hmmm. 2am. At 11am on the 16th I have a group speech to give. Damn! I'll have to either go to my speech really tired or resist playing until after I get back from my class...

 

[iamaelephant]

Bah this sucks for New Zealanders, it will almost be the 17th by the time we get to play.

 

[The Monkey]

09.00 here, still, I wont be able to play it before I get home from school, and then time's around 17.00.

 

[Prone]

Hmm, when did Vivendi send out that info? I'm in their email and postal services so I get it all but I didn't get an info of any sort ???

 

[Asuka]

I am also in eastern time zone and that is exactly what I plan to do too. There is no way in hell I am staying up till 3:00 A.M., I would be too tired to play and I have to work in the morning. The only thing I will do that morning before work is set all my controls, sound, video settings and then take the ride on the train to city 17 and watch the credits roll, once the train stops then I will have to go to work. But that night is when I really get to play

 

[jAkUpF]

Would that be 12:00AM in California?

 

[Asuka]

Damn you people are crazy. I sleep like 2 hours a day or less during the summer. Pull all nighters all the time. + during the weekdays ill probably go to sleep around 4am etc. wake up 7am. Hl2 comes out im not going to sleep for days!

(my record is 5 days no sleep) (thats also 5 days infront of comp)!

 

[A2597]

I get it at 8am! Cool, I can sleep in, eat breakfast, and have fun!!!

 

[Yombi]

Even if they break it you wont be able to play. It will get unlocked at that time. If you but it early you will just have the cd and box etc :frog:

 

[jocky68]
