    I'm curious why all the times Beamdog is giving our are 'Pacific' (presumably PDT : UTC-7) rather than Edmonton (currently MDT : UTC-6) times?

    Because in North American communications, all times are given in Eastern or Pacific. Everyone there knows what their offset is from those two references.

    Though to be fair, Edmonton is rather common as well.

    The US has most of it's population centered on the east coast and the west coast, which use the EST (GMT-5) and PST (GMT-8) timezones. Rather than forcing North Americans to learn 6 or 7 different timezone abbreviations and their individual offsets, they just use only EST or PST, as those are the most well known and used timezones in North America. For example, if you live in the CST timezone, you're used to being 1 hour behind EST and 2 hours ahead of PST.

    Of course, the best timezone to use is GMT, as it's the world standard, and most people know their own GMT offset. People outside North America don't live in, say EST+9 or PST+12, but in GMT+4.

    Interestingly enough my steam copy of bgee has an update scheduled for 19:24 (BST) which is just in time for the 20:00 release time.

    Great lineup. I don't listen to music when I BG, but if I did I would most certainly listen to folk/power metal.

    You don't. You will forever get them so long as you are a poster in the thread.

    I wish there was preload. The patch is taking forever. Doesn't bode well.

    Agree. My client is stabilizing @ about 1MB/s though it could go up to 10.

    For confirmation... If you order 19 euro SoD, do you have to download all BG + SOD or just SOD? -_-

    Yes, but remember that BGEE must be installed to play SOD. It is not a standalone expansion.

    The Beamdog platform says "Limited connectivity: Unable to receive product updates".

    PS. Still 17 minutes left, right?
