Gaming rituals

[Mouse Cop]

Does anyone else have a specific ritual they do before the release of a game they are looking forward to? For example when hoi 4 comes out I'm taking 2 days off work buying my weight in taco Bell, Doritos, Mt dew, and grizzly wintergreen causing my friends to wonder where I am or if I'm dead. I'd like y'all to share how y'all are going to prepare for the release of hoi4

Usually, before every 8 hour gaming session I am in the middle of something very important and critical to my life, then deciding "I will just wind down a bit with this game i have here".

I have a friend who clears his workload for the month after release.. but he is a freak. He once played a mission in silent hunter II (a good game before the franchise turned to kaka ) on full realism settings in real time...he was 'at sea' for 29 days. He says it was very stressful leaving the 'control room' to eat, sleep and crap. Myself I just check that the pizza place is open and will deliver.

I'm very impressed

I took the 6th and 7th of then all of the week of the 13th off so 11 days. What really makes me happy this is the first time my wife has been interested in playing a paradox game with me. We are already talking about her playing as Germany and me as Italy. She has the week of the 13th off too so ya its going to be a party.

Step one: Notify the local Pizza delivery guys, The Chinese food delivery guys, the Indian Food delivery guys that there's a new game coming out.
Step two: Inquire with Doc (unsuccessfully again, unfortunately) about getting a catheter put in for the next month.
Step three: Kiss my wife and daughter take fresh photos of both, and clip them to the side of my monitor
Step four: Make sure that the message on the phone states that I am on a trip and definitely not in signal range
Step five: Check on Hot-Pocket supply for times when delivery guys aren't working
Step six: Make sure that electric bill paid
Step seven: Contemplate upping amps on the service
Step eight: Make sure that the only thing plugged into the generator in case of emergency is the computer and monitor
Step nine: Take that last, long, hot shower.
Step ten: Order office-sized bottled water and dispenser. Make sure that it's reachable from the chair.
Step eleven: Take it to 11 and start playing!!!!!

The day of the release I would be on a 5 day pre-army program, so I won't be able to buy it, but the soon I'll be home Il buy it and play for 4 hours.

Well last year I scheduled one of my vacation weeks for June 6th.. It was to help out my girlfriend after she gets her wisdom teeth takin out, color me surprised when I saw hoi IVs release date.. Awwww yeaaaa a full week off for hoi gaming extravaganzas!!! That literally couldn't have turned out any better, am I right? Or am I right?

 

[BobbyDylan]

I took time of the stellaris release so I'll not be able to take more. I'll probably just pay it in the evenings and on weekends.

I usually just not sleep.
