I fixed up your post a bit, by removing unneeded wording...

Uh oh...you misquoted him. You teh banzoredz!

 

[WhiteDevil]

They better release several more binks to make up for this.

 

[Fixed]

I can feel the anger building within the community. I can feel the heat coming in the air all night hold on.

You're getting angry at a few minutes? Are you serious?

This takes arrogance and stupidity to whole new levels.

 

[ELIXIR]

so do i haveto restart steam do get it to pop up? or it auto refreshes?

 

[SweetLou]

If it's past 7:00 do we say it's delayed?

Yes I would consider it delayed if it is past 7PM

 

[Aknot]

I thought they were just joking

 

[laz]

Gabe sucks

 

[killahsin-[CE]]

haha you guys are hilarious complainign already only minutes after the time. Absolutly hilarious. I think all constant whiners should have a +12 hour delay on their preloads personally just for the constant whining.

edit: and i do mean personally as in your personal IP's =P

 

[^Ben]

Wha the hell? 50 minutes?

 

[ACROW_LEFT]

i think we should all just wait for 20 minutes w/o trying the preload, valve time is about 30 minutes early didnt you know?

 

[WhiteDevil]

There's a price tag on your head, Mr. Newell. Let me get that for you.

 

[Crusader]

Yeah, it's not 6pm PST til 50 minutes from now. We just assumed he meant PDT

 

[BillyJoBob]

Doh!!!!!!.......

 

[Aknot]

Actually Gabe is a comedian. A sick and demented comedian but a comedian none the less.

 

[Grand Architect]

errr Whats Steam?

I believe it's full title is [SIZE=+1]Steam[/SIZE][SIZE=-2]ing pile of poop[/SIZE]

 

[Synthaxx R-or]

Whoa, even the forum is bugging out on me.

Munrobocop to the rescue?

 

[Rodger Pinkerton]

Instead of restarting Steam all the time, why don't you just click HERE?

 

[Ames]

Whoa, is anyone experiencing database errors?

 

[Surfer2374]

Haha you guys just got punked. NO Hl2 for Joo one year.

[Sushi]

[poseyjmac]

You are in Daylight Saving Time which is PDT in your area.

 

[Lobster]

anyone notice the steam status page.

http://www.steampowered.com/status/status.html

significant drop of around 1.5 Mbps on the Content Servers..

 

[Tork]

yeah i think it was preload for cs:s

 

[spitcodfry]

well what are you doing here, get over there and see whats up.

I did that around the same time last year, actually. Ya know, when some people still believed it was going to make Sep 30. Gabe just gave me a BS line like 'we'll see' in response to my asking if it'd make the 30th date.

Hmmm...perhaps I should make another visit?
