same, i keep refreshing the page hoping it will be released.

 

[SScagnetti]

Last night it came out around 6:30 PST so that's when I think the real possibility of it coming out will happen. If it's not out by 8:00 PST then it's not coming out today

 

[zyzyxxz]

Well if that is true then thats only 13 mins away then.

Yeah, my patience is gone. They'll do it sometime tonight, so I'll get up early in the morning.

Also, the steam forums are down.

wow, still really late

 

[SMiles]

Valve must have forgotten today was Tuesday....lol

Halfway through the day they were like: " Oh S%#$!!, the scout update is supposed to come out today!!"

 

[Quest]

Go to bed

It will be out when it is out. It won't magically disappear once it is released and you will have plenty of time to experience it. Don't worry about it. Relax. Sleep.

45 minutes till bed time. What do I do? WHAT DO I DO? If it comes out when I'm sleeping, then I can't get a head start on the achievements. When I wake up, everyone will have the sandman, and bonk, and the force-o-nature, and I won't have squat. How will that feel?

Spoiler: Bad, really darn bad.


(Since sarcastic tones do go through the internet, take the previous statement with a hint of sarcasm)

 

[SMiles]

LoL I doubt 45 minutes is enough time to get very many achievements....

 

[SScagnetti]

Its up!!! Its released!
