I'm pretty sure this was already done here somewhere but its buried somewhere so I thought it could be fun to remake this fun post.
So - release day.
- What are you going to bring? (food, drinks, etc.)
- Special stuff you want to have with you
- Preparations?
- Who do you prepare to bring with you to this epic journey?
- What are you going to do with your GF \ BF?
GO!
- 2 ice cold bottles of: Soda, my fav beers (Guinness and Leffe Brown), Redbulls, Chips, and fried chicken!
- Im going to train a Pit Bull (not a dog, an actual bull) to attack trespassers on sight so I won't be disturbed, and cut the phone lines for the entire neighborhood, burry the cellphone in the yard.
- Be there at release, try to see if I can download the client before I buy the game to save the 1 hour of installation.
- So many people. But for starters 3 irl mates. We've planned this for ages now.
- Tell her I've been called by the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) for a special stealth mission that will take at least 2 months, and tell her she can't contact me, I will contact her.

smh... I'll just play the game and get to 60 asap. Kinda sad you're gonna block off your GF, at least mine doesn't mind if I play Diablo all day or not. In fact she has seen me play LoL, SWTOR, WoW and was interested in Diablo 3 Book of Cain. My GF is awesome =).
P.S I still get some buffs from her and she pre ordered Diablo 3 for me

Of course I was kidding (:
But all in all, guys will be gamers and some girls won't understand same as I don't understand why they love shopping.
I've already warned my GF that I won't be mentally present in the apartment for at least 24 hours after launch, and she understands (somewhat, at least).
I plan to adjust my sleep routine a bit so I can a good 4-5 hours sleep in before I go pick up my collector's edition (of course) at midnight, and play at least 'till morning before I'll need sleep. And of course I will stock up on nerd water (cola) and other stuff, a bit of nuts and such, nothing too big. I actually plan to buy a few candles as well, so I can play all night in a dark apartment with candles around my computer. Should be nice and cosy.
Sadly none of my IRL friends plan to get D3, so that's a bit sad. I used to pick up midnight launches with them (BC and WotLK), but alas - they grew up and I just refuse to follow along with that.
Oh, and depending on when the game comes out, and if I have school or not (semester ends around mid-May), I might go to school (though horribly tired) but time will tell on that one.
Now I just need a plan to pass the next two months without going insane from the horrendous wait.......
I don't get why you wouldn't just download it.... ? i'm planning to...
Depending upon when it is released, I will get the game ASAP. Need to figure out if the local Best Buy will be doing a Midnight release. Than I will be home playing all day only leaving my room to go to the bathroom or to get something to eat. I want to get done with Normal on all five characters within the first couple days. But I might just ride it all the way to Inferno on one character.
But I shall only be eating non-greasy food. And either milk or water to drink. When I am not eating, I will be chewing gum to make sure I don't need to eat.

I don't always burn. But when I do, I use hellfire.
anyone know if you don't have the WoW annual pass, will you be able to pre order the game at battle.net store or do you have to wait until midnight of the launch to buy it from there?

yes, they said they will have pre-orders before the game is out (along with pre-download)

Sadly ill be doing news instead of getting to play fully -sad face-
My girl will be playing instead of me, thats so cruel

I'll be surprised if you beat Normal within a couple of hours, probably take more than that because 1/3 of act 1 takes about an hour

I don't get why you wouldn't just download it.... ? i'm planning to...
Oh I'll download it, but I'll still want a physical copy of the game, and I'll still need a key to activate the game I guess?
yeah, but you can download it without a key (just can't login) just need the link to the download servers (like the beta client link is)
So yeah - I can download the game ahead of launch, and when launch comes, I get the copy, I go home and pop in the key, and I'm good to go ASAP, yeah?
Either way, it really doesn't matter that much. If I need to install the game, I'll pop in the blu-ray that comes with the CE and have a glas of wine while I wait - I've waited 4 years, I can wait another hour.
yep! its what I did with cata, pre-downloaded it even though I didnt get digital, so when I got home all I had to do was enter my CE cd-key and was g2g.

With a brand new game on release day, I feel that it is an honor to install the game instead of having it already downloaded. But that is probably because I love having the actual disc.

while I usually find these threads asinine, I feel compelled to post in this one for some reason
- What are you going to bring? (food, drinks, etc.) - Special stuff you want to have with you - Preparations? - Who do you prepare to bring with you to this epic journey? - What are you going to do with your GF \ BF?
- Pizza and beer. Lots of beer.
- favorite pajamas and slippers, a fire in the fireplace
- Have joints rolled, game client ready to go, well rested I guess
- Will be playing with lots of coworkers and friends on release day for sure, we are all counting the days
- My GF is really excited to play and since we live together we'll be right next to each other loading up at the same time :3
Well. Im hosting a part of about 9 friends of mine. My girlfriend has already pre ordered hers. At this part Im supplying some goods such as eggnog ( we all love eggnog and every year I flash freeze 8L for summer, and yes it does still taste fresh ) " Arizona fruit punch", a trip to the bulk store as well as since its Canada a few trips to Tim Hortons . We all plan to have our computers moved to my place early in the day with D3 already downloaded so when we get back its all set .
Depending on release day, probably wait till the weekend afterwards roll down to salt lake from rexburg here. get a couple of pizzas and some orange soda park myself at my bothers house for 3 days and play... what will i need? gas money... my GF? well, technically i don't have one but something is brewing (maybe) so i think i need to make sure my priorities are balanced
God all of you guys make me so jealous
I really wish my gf would dig games, not even games, just d3 :/
I wish I could play with her together side by side

awesome
Night before release gonna stuff my face at a Chinese buffet and then go to Gamestop for some nerd conversation up until midnight.
Get my collector's box, take a bunch of pics and upload them to Facebook like a 16 year old girl.
Then probably shower and pop a pizza in the oven, eat it. Then servers should be up. Use stockpiled supplies when needed.

Who will have time to read the news....We will all be playing Diablo 3?
My wife decided to play this with me on this game as well.
Beer / Soda
Not taking off work but enjoying the game as I can while I can.
