i work at Tech support, 5 shifts a week, 9-10 per shift.
when D3 comes out, i intend to ask for a week off, my reason?
a 7 day trip across the country to celebrate my grandmothers
and grandfathers 50th anniversary. - I know, its lame!
but for that reason exactly i started this thread! for us, the
crazy ones who'll take a few days off just to play D3 as it comes
out, what do you do for a living, and how will you lie to your
boss in order to make that happen?
How about "I gotta totally trashed last night?" "that girl I picked up at the bar wasn't quite what I thought?" "There's a football game on...a weekday..." "I got seriously poisoned by an undead mage?"
Actually, since I'll be salaried, if I was going to take time off, it'd just be vacation time (which your excuse would be anyway), and I wouldn't need an excuse.
I'm planning on saying that I have been struck down with a severe case of indolence and will not be able to do anything other than stay at home and play D3 for a week.
I plan on taking a few days off when d3 comes out as well. Although I wont need an excuse. I'll just submit an annual leave request through our intranet. No stories required. Ah the joys of working for a big corporation.
"What will be your "I can't come to work" excuse?"
Answer: DIABLO THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-*jumps out of window*-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
*calls boss on cellphone* - Wanna play a game?
This was epic. I'm going with this one
My hat is off to you sir.

Seriously though, why the hell would someone take time off work just to play a video game? You can play it when you get home..
Would not give up anything for D3. Not college, not job, not girl.
I would just play it within the week of release when I have time. I do SP mostly anyway.
You are clearly not geeky enough. Suck in those balls and attach yourself to a chair for a few weeks. Come back and post in this thread when you are done, then you might call yourself a true Dfan/nolifer.
QFT!
Plus, where are our news team? their supposed to be the real addicts!
i to have an un-usual vacation time request but i need to input a reason. i think im going to announce it
as soon as d3 is announced and say "Personal reasons" and they might think its for something medicinal and
wont ask questions.. that way i dont have to lie.
Honestly, I don't understand what half the people here are doing. You're NOT a dedicated fan of Diablo if you play just an hour a day, and don't even feel like skipping school/work to play it.
Seriously, an hour a day? So as you start to play D3, you finish the first quest and then you're like... ahhh... that was good. Ok, cya tomorrow. wtf?
Sure, if you want to see me that way, be my guest.
But I do see a reason. When you're passionate about something, you can't be satisfied with a fix of only one hour a day. If your mentality is set on not skipping a day of school for Diablo, then what kind of fan are you? Football fans would skip a heartbeat to be at the world cup finals. How is the release of Diablo any different?
If you find a day of school - which you've been repeating for years now - more important than staying home to play Diablo on its release, you're not a dedicated fan and that's why I question what you're doing on a diablofans forum.
I agree with mephy, I wouldn't skip class or work for playing diablo, of course I would arrange my studying schedule to a minimum and as I work at home I can dedicate part of the day to class/study/work and the rest to play... besides, I don't like to play too many hours in a row
Also, I'm more of a single player, so when it comes out I would play SP first... then I will go to MP probably on weekends or something...
You people are such weaksauce. Who needs an excuse? You are not real fans(or nerds).
What you need is a plan!
First when you know the release date of D3 which will be some 2 months advance(most likely), you start preparing some polyjuice potion.
You know that thing takes one month to brew right? So we are still good.
Yo! What the fuck are you doing? Did I say you could take a break?
So while the polyjuice potion is brewing, you steal some of your boss's/headmaster's hair.
How to do that? Simple.
Watch this video- My link. Starts at 1.50
Instead of grabbing the trousers, just take the underwear. Hopefuly you'll get some pubic hair in there. Drop it in you potion and presto- essence of boss/headmaster! NOw you can transfrom into your boss.
But that's like only half the plan. Now comes the sneaky part.
After you kill your boss(just choose an MK fatality. Am kidding bitch- just sequestrate the guy somewhere), you drink the potion, take your boss car and go to his home. You'll find his wife there. Chances are she'll order you to do household chores, grocery shopping, kid fetching-and-playing while she does her manicure.
If she's a hot young wife.....she'll probably do the same.
Lol. Dumbass. You thought you were going to lose your virginity or what? That's not what wives are for.
So 1 month potion brewing + 1 month infiltration and being your wife's slave.
Now during the infiltration, you give yourself the maximum amount of promotions and paid holidays + the fees for paying the CE of D3 will be on the company.
2months over. Leave the old/young hag, free your boss(he'll probably insist you detain him longer but you cannot afford to do too many favors) and enjoy the game!
What? You didn't understand anything of what I said? Fucking morons.
Akuma, you have a point. I acted way out of line, I'm sorry.
We just have conflicting views for our reasons to be here, you're for the community, I'm solely for the D3 info.
I'm quitting my job. I have a savings account with $2500 for gaming addiction rehab once my diablo binge is over!!!!!!!!!
Just kidding I'm in college, I just hope it comes out near/during this coming summer (and not between January and May of 2011, because I'll be studying abroad in Scotland).

Since we are on the topic.
There was a monkey, a pig and a horse in a bar. They were having a drink and then the monkey goes...
Will continue a bit later. Am sleepy.
Where the hell is my teddy bear?
lol im dead serious.... and i doubt im the only one (But i wouldnt be surprised...)
my tactic.
Actually, since I'll be salaried, if I was going to take time off, it'd just be vacation time (which your excuse would be anyway), and I wouldn't need an excuse.
Rise and rise again, until lambs become lions
"One does not simply rock into Mordor."
"There's no I in Team America!"
Fail diablo fan, I plan on sending my girlfriend of three years to a quick vacation.
