I'm sitting here, gazing at the clock as the minutes and hours tick by, so I came up with my own checklist for what I need to do before release:
1. PC maintenance: The usual, run a defrag, clean out temp files, clean registry, etc.
2. (A) Clean my room: Sounds strange but, for some reason, the cleaner my room is the more I can immerse myself in a video game.
2 (b ) Shower: because it may be awhile before I can pull myself off d3 to take the time to shower again.
3. Supplies: vitamin water, gatoraid, and a few redbull - pop and beer will just make me sluggish, and I cant afford down time
4. Get laid: With girlfriend preferably, can't afford to tire out my mouse hand.
5. Install/Patch: Get that game client going so it's ready to go at midnight.
6. Bathroom: obvious.
7. comfortable cloths: Very important, Going to wear pajama pants, possibly a house robe, and some nice clean woolen socks.
8: Nap: I should have put this earlier on the list, I'm going to nap for at least a few hours before midnight, I don't want to be super tired and burnt out during my first few hours of d3.
Ok I'll probably think of more as time gets nearer. Making this list was in fact on my list of things to do before launch to kill time. Anyone else wanna kill some time, let me see your list.
#3 gatoraid is especially useful after #4
I got a new mousepad for my d3 marathon that has this awesome little pad at the bottom for wrist support. Also have some saline solution handy, my eyes tend to get bloodshot and dry after playing games for long periods of time.
Unlike some of you i will not be playing at a desk, my first D3 experience will be on my laptop so I've set up the couch as a temp game station. I have a nice sturdy pillow with a legal pad to place my mousepad/mouse on, it gives my arm a place to rest and it very very comfortable and doesn't limit movement at all. I have a usb cooling pad for my laptop with a non-slip surface, keeps it nice and cool and steady as i smash keys :). Kitchen is about 10 steps away and the bathroom is about 15 steps. MY BODY IS READY, the location is set up, all i need now is the game!
