Here's the jist. I pre ordered Super Meat Boy on Steam a couple of days ago and, obviously, today is the release date. Got it at the same time as the 2nd Deathspank (having not played the first one yet - sorry sucker for a bargain) and it was all fine.
 
My question is, is it out yet or is there a set time for it to come out today? I tried to wait for the sale to end and it isn't but Deathspank: Thongs of Virtue is. 
 
Not sure what to do, any advice? And did anyone get it installed on Steam today? It might be something with me.

Same thing Valve always does. They suck at releasing games on steam. You just gotta wait it out and it'll come out sometimes later today.

Other than adding +1 hour every hour there's no solid release time.

Valve being Valve. The release times listed on Steam are at best rough guidelines. I'd bet the game will unlock in two or three hours.

I found out the hard way with F1 2010 that Steam releases don't come out on time. It will be out when it's out.

The game will come out whenever. This is nothing unusual.

Thanks for that, guys.

It's more unusual because it doesn't usually happen to me. Having said that, I don't really make that many pre-orders on Games on Steam so yeah.

Timer says 2 hours now. we're in for the long haul guys.

it's a do-something-else release :/ In most peoples cases that means rage-posting on the steam forums. I don't expect to see it out within the next 6-8 hours.

Jesus, they keep adding more time to the countdown clock.  It finally ended again minutes ago, but now someone came by and set it to 2 hours.

It will eventually release, of course that means it will come when Valve time deems appropriate. 

The rage post on the Steam forums were pretty hilarious.

Gah, I've been waiting to play this game for several hours. Now I have to go to bed, boo steam!

STOP TAUNTING ME!!

Yo, I'm in class right now so this shit better not be out until I get home in about 4 hours. 
 
It's not fair that I bought the game today and won't be able to play with everyone else.

Its flitted between 1 and 2 at various times hours for the last 6 hours or so. 
 
Fucking pain; I was banking on getting some game time in tonight.

Valve being Valve.

Damn, even had time to go and watch a hockey game 37 miles (I think that's about 60 kilometers... if not, correct me :P) away, and just got back, and it's still friggin' unreleased!

" Valve being Valve. "

Thanks for reminding me to buy this!

MEAT BOY GO!

its out!

Spread the word! 
 
I gotta find my Windows laptop.

The store says it's out and has a play now button, but my library is still completely grayed out. -_-

Yeah, time's up, but I can't install it yet. I guess "out now" is still an estimate!

Logging out seems to have cleared it up.

ah this crashes a lot and buttons don't work sometimes in the menus, and just now when I went into some kind of warp and got an achievement, then it crashed.

Yo, any of you here using it with a Sixaxis? 
 
I'm at campus at the moment, so I can't really check.

" Logging out seems to have cleared it up. "

99% done!

Oh jesus my internet is slow. How big is it, download-wise?

Just in time for me to leave!

" @Tebbit: 238 MB "

it doesn't work 
 
a problem caused the program to stop working correctly, windows will close the program and  ..... 
 
hurra

I played over an hour, but now it has freezed my PC twice. I have to try different level and see if it works.

just played it now, it should be out now

Anyone figured out the keyboard controls yet? I'm kinda baffled at how Team Meat didn't leave any hint as to what the PC keyboard controls are, instead leaning on the hope that everyone who buys the game owns a 360 pad.

Grraargh, seems that the Mac version was "delayed" until February.  And somehow they still managed to sell it earlier as a "Featured" Mac game. I even managed to pre-order the damn thing. :/

...  not to mention needing to emulate a 360 pad to get my ps2 controller to work with it.  Edit: Aaaand it just caused me a lovely blue screen. I don't think I'll be playing this much more. "

The mac version was always due out later than the PC version. They've never advertised it as anything else, and the Steam preorder never said anything about a mac version. "

Still, the game was listed under Mac Games, and they were accepting sales. 

ETA: Interestingly enough, they seem to have removed it from the Mac games tab. Ah well, at least I got the discount...

How do you do that? My fingers hurt from hammering the space bar while holding down left shift :/ "
