It's also the beginning of Daylight Saving's Time! Longer evenings everyone!

That's two good things for March 9th

Since when was loseing a hour of sleep a good thing............................?
Since such a mere sacrifice would take you closer to the most epic game ever.

Does DST begin at 1 AM March 9? I don't wanna wake up at 10 and realize its 11, when Best Buy opens

Kinda sucks though when you think of it, you'll spend more time outside 'cos it's brighter then play Brawl by night.

Well, that's what I usually do

Brawl comes out at midnight on march 8th to 9th. Daylight savings time turns the clocks back i think...not forward. You will get an extra hour to play brawl, not minus one. Sry if im mistaken.

No the clock 'springs' forward whereas in fall it 'falls' back.

DST really only exists so that kids don't stand at the bus stop in the dark...

And right now I really don't know what time it's going to be, but I'm being forced to go to mass before picking Brawl up.

Its also dedicated to folks who will want to spam the General Brawl Discussion with "OMG I GOT BRAWL1111" topics.

So, at 1 o'clock it's actually 2 o'clock. That means on Sunday you only get to play for 23 hours instead of 24. Feck.

Actually, technically, at the midnight release it's still midnight. You'll get it, run home and play for a bit and right at 1:59am it suddenly leaps to 3:00am and you go "****it I probably should sleep now".

The third good thing is 'Pure Pwnage ep 16' goes public.

March 9 is like Christmas.

Oh man... We will miss out on a hour of Brawl!
Well technically you're losing 1 hour of sleep instead if you've been planning to get it at a specific time. Best Buy opens at 11 and I'm still going there when its the fake 11.

Besides, if you do play during the change (it's 1:59AM -> 3:00AM, people!), you can get that hour back by playing November 2, 2008 from 1:00AM (the first one) to 1:00AM (1:59AM -> 1:00AM).

Awesome I love Pure Pwnage! Play Brawl for hours then when I get hungry, eat and watch episode 16 at the same time.

So yeah.
Fall Back, Spring Forward.

There goes an hour but whatever. :)
