So, who's going to disturb the remains tonight? (Destiny)
As many of you have likely seen, today marks the 2 years anniversary of the death of the loot cave. I think I may just load up into destiny and go disturb the remains for old times sake.
How is that possible?

The game launched on September 9, 2014 - it wasn't even OUT yet! The loot cave didn't die in the Beta... it died in the real game, didn't it?
You're a month early.

Talk Like A Pirate day is 9-19, the day before Rise Of Iron
Or with Rise Of Iron releasing the next day (publicity, promotion, PR) do you think that there will be a new code or item?
That Is Interesting, Though.
People going into Heroic Strikes and farming Omnigul for what might be the most overpowered Pulse Rifle ever--that's no problem.
Standing outside a cave in Patrol to get Greens and Blues? "Oh, no! We can't abide that!"
lol
It's September 25.
The good ole days.

This is what you get for using them backwards
Silly Americans ;p
I blame Java. ;-)
The legacy java.util.Date has wonky month values, January = 0 (why James Gosling, Arthur van Hoff and Alan Liu did that I don't understand).
(this is a nice excuse, but really, I just forgot what month it was, I thought it was September for some silly reason).
Edit: Yes, we Americans have it all jumbled up, and you brits have it backwards. ;-) yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss works best IMHO, makes sorting easier.

I blame C. Who the hell starts a list at index 0, you silly assembly wizards?

Almost everyone, not just C. It's because it makes it easier to calculate the range of an array. If you start at 1 you have to subtract 1 every time you want to find the range of an array, but if you start at 0 you don't. Considering 99.999% of people will never see an array anyway it makes sense to make it easier to program form, not to mention when the precursor of C (BCPL I think?) was written I'm positive that one less operation probably made a very significant difference in efficiency.
Edit:
Also here's a good answer on why they even use 0-11 instead of 1-12 for months: http://stackoverflow.com/a/18002968
+1 for yyyy-mm-dd
