We'll find out in about 8 hours

Time goes backwards

[AxelMill]

That was disappointing.

[1up]

lol wtf?

[ElOhTeeBee]

I sure love staying up to get news I'm interested in and that news being late

[CloudyMusic]

Overflow glitch on the countdown timer, must be SDOJ

[The Armchair General]

Maybe this is symbolism on how CAVE has gone backwards over the years.

Can't handle the REVERSE COUNTDOWN HYPE

[AxelMill]

Isn't news based on countdowns supposed to automatically "unlock"? That's the whole point of timers. Otherwise, a generic "April 28th" would have made more sense.

RIP BlackBird

CAVE tweeted something about the announcement a couple of minutes ago?

Something about the announcement being at 10.40?

Seems like the actual announcement is in 10 hours and it'll be streamed on nico...

[Durandal]

I should've known this would happen when the new port announcement timer was set to midnight of a Japanese timezone.
Of course they aren't going to announce it midnight. (except for us gaijins)

Here's another countdown set to 10.40 in Japan.
for us Europeans it will happen at 3:40
guess I won't be sleeping tonight

Apparently, in our PAX East rush, the person who was supposed to do the Countdown got the timing a bit off because of time zones.

Sorry about that, pretty embarrassing, honestly (especially considering how much we deal with time zone issues). Anyway, keep an eye on Cave!

[Zen]

What is this amateur bullshit?
How long has this countdown timer been up for? No one at CAVE or Degica spotted a problem?

Lemme leave this right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RXBQTYfyQ8

Sons of bitches!

@Nick: Have you a NeoGAF account? There's a pretty good number of Cave fans over there having a laugh about this, but it was pointed out that absolutely no one from Degica has been over there engaging people since Blackbird left.

[Opus131]

This is like master level trolling. Well done.

Yeah, my neogaf account has been waiting to be approved for a while now.

Anyway, the countdown is fixed. I really am sorry guys. Its not an excuse, but we have been running around all over the place the last few weeks (PAX East, 3 new game announcements several new releases, 2 upcoming things I can't talk about (or well, I will on one in one hour), etc. etc.). It doesn't mean we shouldn't have screwed up, we should have been on top of it, but hopefully it makes it understandable.

Oh man, thanks for the bit of humor here. I needed it this morning.

[Blinge]

hang in there

[StarCreator]

What's your username? I can try to prod an admin into speeding up the process.

OK, try now.

Okay, wtf. This bothers me. Instead of something global (and accessable) like Twitch or YouTube? Did JP Steam sales of Mushi and DS account for more than 50% overall? If not, then this is a very poor decision and I'm insulted that they basically said "FUCK YOU G.I."

That said, can someone re-stream?

[Xyga]

Why people get so angry over this is beyond me... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
