[Ecthe|ioN]

I don't have to think about the store. Ordered through steam I can't wait. It's finally happening

edit: Hey in$ane. Welcome to the forums. There are quite a few of us norwegians here on the forum now (We're taking over, don't tell anyone)

Explain this please?

Our clocks changed.

 

[RabidMeatloaf]

1 AM for me...woot.

 

[Maxi]

OLD!

But very cool that this is in a format where we can see exactly when it will be released where... this is especially good for us that suck with time zone conversions

 

[mayfer]

[qdlaty]

Smthg is wrong with
# 0GMT || 8:00AM (Nov 16th)
# +1GMT || 10:00AM (Nov 16th)
I think it should be 9:00AM (Nov 16th) but I may be wrong ;D

 

[zer0kewl]

w0000h0000

 

[Voodoo_Chile]

Yes,8am.Have got to take this day off,wont be able to concentrate in school other wise!

 

[disruptioN_]

Now I know what time to keep away from the forums.

 

[FISKER_Q]

Old news, unfortunately Chris_D or whoever didn't want to post my findings.

also GMT +1 = 10:00 IS wrong. That was when we were in summertime that was valid. But we changed.

And Summertime isn't called GMT+1. And it really is something like GMT+2.

 

[Alieni²]

mmm... prolly something like 10 am for me ^^

 

[Ecthe|ioN]

Well well .. one hour wrong isn't really that big of a deal for me. I still get to play HL2 the moment it is released.

 

[Aphex Tw][n]

It must be close....I'm getting a hard on...

 

[mleko]

"+1GMT || 10:00AM (Nov 16th) "

in school from 7.30a.m till 6.45 p.m.

 

[HybridM]

If you're in school when HL2 comes out, it's nature's way of telling you you're too young to be playing it!

I'm buying it from a shop.

Yeah i don't think Valve realised the clocks went back to normal in UK oh and its BST (british summer time)

 

[Lucifer]

GMT +2 is 10am and GMT +1 is 9am!

 

[The Monkey]

0GMT || 8:00AM (Nov 16th)
+1GMT || 10:00AM (Nov 16th)

WTF is this supposed to mean?

Nonsense, I'll be in school and I'm old enough (17) to play HL2 (which is M rated)

 

[FoB_Ed]

Even if valve did give us the wrong time, HL2 will still unlock at the same time all over the world, regardless of what our clocks say.
