The Countdown Thread

[Aro]

for some reason I thought you will get it earlier than me... on my side it says Sept 24th, but also unlocking in 12 hours... so I guess being in Brazil (right? ) the date lag et all... but we in the rest of the world get it at the same "real" time...

Now, it's 08:30 AM here in Brazil. Plus 12 hours, around 08:30 PM the game will unlock. If I'm not wrong, it's something around 13:30 hours in Croatia, now... Am I right? Or, in english terms, 01:30 PM. So, if you add 12 hours it will be 01:30 AM, 24 September.

12 hours, my friend. We have to wait.

Meanwhile, I keep playing the demo. The same three games.

there's a trick to overcome the 100 turn limit, you know? i didn't use it myself, am waiting for the new video card to arrive anyway

[Aro]

Really? In fact, 2K greg was talking about 150 turns in his statement about the demo...

Anyway, the administrators don't like tricks...

Well, for me the countdown will definitely count into negatives...
no Civ V game CD per mail today,
so the earliest time when I might be able to play Civ V will be tomorrow afternoon
(that is if it arrives tomorrow...if not it will be even later)

We have a saying here in Brazil, I'll try to translate:
"hands without occupation are the devil's tools"

Edited: Is this thread the demonstration of a man's insanity? Is this a complete waste of time and broadband? Is this an appreciate amount of time we're stealing of our jobs and all?

For sure. So what?
I'll count to Zero.
