Why start on a Tuesday though? Is there a reason for that?
Someone has a link to the offical time in another thread. If that's of any help.

I want to tell everyone on the Internets about it, but I hafta work, and that sucks, except it's good, too.
(I'm gonna assume it's 12:01 a.m. PST USA, like doctorhorrible.net, in the absence of anything further - but I'll be checking the site 9:01p.m. PST USA, just to be safe.)

I didn't think so. What's up with Britney Spears?
BrewBunny | July 14, 14:01 CET
D'oh! I did not know this. Except now that you say it, I know it to be true.
I thought maybe it was for numerogical reasons. Like choosing the 15th because of the 1 and the 5. The 1 ensuring that it will be the number 1 internet web series musical about superheroes that day and the 5 because it's a number that is easy to multiply and divide with. (5 times 2? 10! 5 times 50? 250! See? Easy. Multiplying by 7 or 8? Totally sucks.)

A double Whedon whammy? If the Powers and Titans thing is true I'm guessing there will be official blurb about it tomorrow at E3. And now some glee. *GLEE*. That is all.

C'mon. This thread isn't fair! Now I'm craving chocolate, worrying about having "phantom limbs" and there was math! (Which, I know, was my fault. Sorry.) Now a riddle??
NYPinTA | July 14, 14:29 CET
I don't think I've ever seen you use all caps before, Simon. Glee indeed.
Sunfire | July 14, 14:43 CET
Poo.... dle.
Mirage | July 14, 14:45 CET
Anyone have any guesses as to where/how/when it'll be downloadable for a fee? I'm hoping it's soon after the 19th and that iTunes is one of the venues. As for the DVDs, nothing in the world will prevent me from ordering a gazillion of them. Vive Dr. Horrible and His Horribleness!
phlebotinin | July 14, 14:46 CET
Although I bet we crash the website.

Or am I just way too optimistic about getting to see this without slamming my desk against the desk?
deadbessie | July 14, 15:17 CET
Yes, I think that's a cert Gossi - although if we could wait until after I've seen it at least once would be cool.
*is excited*

Wow. Just how strong are you?? :P
(Sorry. Way too much sugar today! And excitment!)
NYPinTA | July 14, 15:24 CET
Note to self - do not do that strange thing of turning the computer off before going to sleep tonight.
barboo | July 14, 15:29 CET
I am so excited waiting for this, and Thursday, and Saturday, and then seeing it on the big screen all at once next week. If I squeed, that's what I'd be doing right now!

Well, I was born with a full head of hair and the ability to bench press 500 pounds. ;)
I think I've reached my sugar limit too. So excited that I can't even type straight!
Seriously, hoping to see it once before it crashes. Otherwise I'll be dragging the laptop (that I just bought this weekend because the other is still in the shop and I was afraid of missing all the goodness) to work and sneaking off to find a wireless connection.
deadbessie | July 14, 16:08 CET
May have to sort some headphones out or something. And wait for my boss (who sits directly opposite me) to pop out. For 20 minutes. Maybe he'll have had a particularly "aggressive" curry tonight. Fingers crossed.
ETA: Wooooot ! Obviously ;).

However, if I did that stupid move, I would have missed out on the count down, phantom limbs, chocolate, math (yay!), people being outed as "modem nerds", and my all-time favorite debate on what time zone we should schedule our GLEE & SQUEE.
Sometimes I think myself a dummy. Luckily, I let my fingers do the driving. :)
korkster | July 14, 16:23 CET
I live to serve ;-).
Saje | July 14, 16:30 CET
Here at WHEDONesque, we don't crash websites, we fandango them.
@theonetruebix | July 14, 17:20 CET
crossoverman | July 14, 17:52 CET
Hopefully this will not be that bad, since they claim to have two great big servers...
but I will be online late tonight waiting to see it!
embers | July 14, 17:59 CET
Five hours!!!
hacksaway | July 14, 17:59 CET
So from then on out, I never use "crash" here. I use "fandango".
@theonetruebix | July 14, 18:05 CET
BrewBunny | July 14, 18:07 CET
Five hours!!!
I just noticed that on Facebook. Yay! (I assume they mean EDT. ;)
Sunfire | July 14, 18:09 CET
Can someone help me with the timing thing? I'm normally on EDT but I'm visiting the 'rents in CA. What time will it be up and available *here*?
OzLady | July 14, 18:12 CET

If this is in fact the case, then I don't even have to make special wakiness plans; only do what I normally do, which is stay up late and go to sleep at my normal time: 1:00. All of a sudden, it's nice and shiny here.
Ooh! Ooh! And, YAYYYYYYYYYY! I'd do a dance, except I'm really sore and slightly broken. Ah, well, these phantom limbs shall hold me up...or contribute to my nonexistent PTSS. Plus, I have Yossarian's bad liver, and see everything twice.
Okay, this is me effusive and incoherent with joy. Ignore as needed. :)
Oh, and Saje, eew. (And may I follow that with a gnyaaah?) Also, I might point out that epsom salts in his coffee would do the same. ;)
BandofBuggered | July 14, 18:35 CET
Oh? *files that away for future use....*
Me, here at home, still excited.

Perhaps this is the math instruction Joss was singing to us in my dream.
@theonetruebix | July 14, 19:34 CET
beck | July 14, 19:34 CET
Which wouldn't be bad (assuming it's back up when I wake up), except then all of you guys will have already seen it, and it's more fun to be there when the insanity starts. Otoh: it's also nice to be, y'know, awake while watching ;)
Hey, math can be fun! As long as it's not integral calculus. Give me some (linear) algebra any time of the day. What? Too nerdy?
Bix, I still feel your dream should be released. Maybe it would be another nice extra on the Dr. Horrible DVD. Or, alternatively, we could do a live performance on Conesque (with cabri singing *Gwpaapa* *Gwpaapa* in tune with the music, on the background).
ETA: replaced previous statement with actual time here, heh ;)

But yes: math can be fun. And so can language. Which I why I combined both and became a writer for popular science magazines ;) (also: I've now stayed up even later. I'm so gonna miss out on the first buzz...)

...Glad I could share in the blinding anticipation.

Less than an hour now... or three. We'll see.
NYPinTA | July 14, 22:12 CET
I think I'll just refresh every 15 minutes from my 2pm.
Anticipation... deafening.

IrrationaliTV | July 14, 22:21 CET
I just can't talk 'cause I'm on a deadline - but I'll break at 9:00p or 12:00a, whenever it airs...
*grumbles*
(No work for 3 days and now I got two rush jobs. It ain't fair... but it is money, so I'll shut up now. *sigh*)
ETA: Tamara, your math frightens me, but if people like you didn't like it, we'd be sunk - so yay for folks who like math, of whom I am not one...)

But now I'm sad because the page is telling me "This video is not available at this site."
Might there be a direct link to a page on Hulu?
Please don't make me download iTunes...it molested my machine last time I did.

That is midnight Pacific time, and right here where I am on the West coast it is only 9 pm. So y'all gotta wait another 3 hours!OMG! It is up early! I must watch now! But I'm trying to watch the Closer to....!
