    At least they're making people know in advance after the whole Modern Warfare 2 debacle. (To clarify: They're making it abundantly clear.)

    It's weird, because Steam new release games used to unlock at like 1 pm (Eastern) the day of release. I'm glad it's now actually midnight. #left4dead2

    @Strangelove: Almost all Steam games release at noon PST, which would mean 3 EST. I know they always release at 2 CST for me. #left4dead2

    @DocSeuss: That sounds right ... I seem to remember coming home on my lunch hour to try and start downloading a game before, only to find it wouldn't unlock until 3. Thank god for preloading. #left4dead2

    That's pretty much standard release date time.

    So I am glad that Valve has decided to launch this game at midnight. #left4dead2

    @Ad-hominem: It's usually more often that midnight counts as midnight Pacific time. Meaning us on the east coast get the game in the middle of the night (3am).

    I'm pretty stoked about this. I'm not happy about having to work the midnight launch for this and Assassin's Creed II though :\ I just want to play the game! #left4dead2

    @PixellatedViscera: I propose we set up a foundation:
    Time To Game.

    People donate money so that poor gamers like ourselves can quit our jobs and other responsibilities during these hectic holiday periods, and enjoy all the games that come out.

He is stuck with crippling social and economic responsibilities that keep him from his beloved games. Now for less than the price of DLC, you can help Viscera and other gamers get the free time they need. Won't you please help. #left4dead2

    This looks promising, but the sequel has even more potential. Nazi Dinosaurs, sure, cool.

    Nazi Ninja Dinosaurs? Now you're talkin'!

    Then the inevitable sequel to complete the trilogy - Mecha Nazi Ninja Dinosaurs.

    These things practically write themselves.

    Here is some text from the readme,

    "Enjoy the game.

    Hold it gently, as you woulds’t a lover, lying in a field, nestled in the shade of a mighty oak tree. Perhap’ you’re gently petting, having just enjoyed a hamper of chilled white wine and a selection of continental cheeses. Bon apetit." #dinodday
