It's Clobberin'...er, no, I disavow all knowledge of any large, rocky, orange Tankers who smoke cigars. It's a good way to get yourself "disappeared" around here!

What I'm talking about is easily finding out what time it is without running any additional software or clicking on "certain" NPCs.

It's a /bind, but don't worry! It's quick, painless and easy!

In your chatbox put:

/bind lshift+/ "localtime"

and uh, hit ENTER.

That's it! The time and date pop up in your chat window! And not that cryptic (hehe) "server time" but the real time as stated on your computer's clock.

/bind tells the game you're making a key bind.
lshift+/ tells the game that the keys you want for the bind are the left shift key and the / key, pressed simultaneously.

"localtime" tells the game you want to know what time it is when you press those keys.

Feel free to change lshift+/ to anything you find more convenient. As a touch typist, I find this combo easily executed but you can change it to anything you want. You can find guides on what keys are called (most are obvious, not all are though) in this very forum if I'm not too much mistaken.

I put this on all knew alts I create (and there are a lot lol).

So what time is it? It's Clobberin'...er 10:06 AM. DON'T SUE!

It's peanut butter jelly time. Everyone knows that.

In other news, that's actually really damn handy. Good to know!

What is this, the dark ages? lol Why waste all that time turning your head by as much as 25 or 30 degrees when all it takes is 2 simultaneous keypressed and never ever removing your eyes from the screen again as long as you live? ONE OF US! ONE OF UUUUUUS!

Thanks for all the comments everyone! What time is it? We can all now say with reasonable certainty!

You know, this thread could really use some intelligence and wit. Where's that Hickman?

Sorry. I was busy testing my new time-telling system. It's based on a 20-hour day, and I count them on my fingers and toes.





When it's time to set the clock ahead an hour, I have to pull out my @#$%...
