    In all seriousness though, Valve is based on East Coast, so it's midnight for you. And its on the list now. #left4dead2

    @NeVeRMoRe666: The term is Standard Time. There is also Daylight Time. Currently, the East coast of the US is in EST. Come Spring when we Daylight Savings causes us to "spring forward" our clocks, we will no longer be EST, but EDT (Daylight Time).

    The use of EST and EDT (MST/MDT, PDT/PST, etc) is now outdated. While timezone differences are still calculated from GMT (Greenwich Mean Time (London)), the term is now Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). GMT is referred to as UTC1, EST is UTC-5, PST is UTC-8, etc. #left4dead2

    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

    @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

    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.
