I h[COLOR=Black]ave Yohmi's wid[/COLOR]get on my Dashboard right now. While it's a countdown for when you receive it, it's a countdown for me on when to ship. Different needs, mutual benefit! I have a few notes on Yohmi's widget. I don't know if this applies to Guybrush's as I haven't cracked it open.

The way the widget is coded, the time is calculated only within the timezone of the client's computer. Unless your computer is set to PST (-8:00 GMT), the countdown is off epically for outside North America. Also, we are not releasing on 00:01 of launch day. The best I can say is "sometime after 09:00 PST (-8:00 GMT)". As in, it won't be released sooner, but may arrive sometime later.

Actually... how would you all feel if I took these widgets as a base and made an uber widget for all episodes? I'll put in the notes above and add a switch between Telltale and Gametap modes. It's been a few months since I worked on any HTML, longer for widgets, and I don't want to get rusty.
