I do understand the few posts of people saying I will do nothing more than I usually do, and I choose RL > Gaming, and I will continue to eat healthy and go to the gym, and blah blah blah. But I dont understand why someone would post that sort of Uppity BS in an attempt to sound superior to those who choose to go in the opposite direction. For the vast majority of players whom are overly excited for this game, time has been slipping away for many years whilst waiting for this game. Most of us are Creeping into our 30's and later. I would assume that most of them have moved on from alot of the stuff that we all used to do....extreme marathon gaming, very unhealthy food and living choices, etc. But for these same people, the chance to revisit Tristram is not just another game. It is something where we have the opportunity to relive something, at least in small part, that we used to continue standard gaming practices. I myself have turned away from alot of the junk food, extensive gaming sessions, and avoidance of sunlight in general.
That being said..... I am taking full advantage of the situation come May 15! My family is aware and been reminded constantly that they will not see me for a full week. I will have my cell phone turned off. I will lock all the doors, block the light from the windows, and generally avoid all outside contact. I will stockpile all the junk food and energy supplements I can find. I will particularly enjoy hoarding the same snacks and things I had while first playing D2 so long ago. JOLT ftw. Then I will game until I passout, wake up and do it again. I have secured Wed-Fri after release off from work. And on Sunday, I will rest. Come Monday following, I will return to the world of the living.... Happy ..... Fulfilled ....

I understand you completely man. I will do the same but for 3 weeks
I already got the launch week off from work, so I'm set
You just set off an idea in my head. If I can stress my wife out enough, maybe the baby will pop out 2 weeks early so I can use FMLA to play D3 for a week and not burn any vacation time!
Well for me I will be getting my gaming groups together for separate days all organized. Planning out when I will have time for each group, and setting up to run along with all of them. Then I will work on my characters for each group and prepping to guess how I will be playing each of them.
After that is all done I will purchase a multimillion dollar Cryochamber to skip the rest of the time and wake up on release day.
I got CE but probably won't pick it up until the next day. I ordered it in a city that's about an hour away by train. It's crazy, in the time it takes me to get ready, take the train, buy it and come back I could be playing D3!! So instead I'll pick it up after my afternoon class on wednesday and just play with my standard version from Annual Pass throughout Tuesday.
I'm primarily concerned that I don't get addicted and fail school....who am I trying to kid =(
Well i am currently going back to school next semester to finish up and achieve my bach. Degree in criminal justice. As of right now i work 32 hours on sat and sunday. Going to take 2 weeks of vacation time off so the bills still get paid (;. Gf's are over rated i just hook up with a couple ladies when the time is needed.
So release date,pick up at midnight. Plan on a 2 day straight play,food shower inbetween,,stretch and use my total gym 20 mins every few hours. But def gonna be on it hardcore for first few weeks.
I broke up with my girlfriend 2 weeks ago. D3 is now my girlfriend. I will be taking 2 vacation days to play. I wish i could take more but i have to save some to visit my stupid family for the stupid holidays.
Family ruins all my fun

Nothing special. Am unemployed atm so if I still am by then I'll be able to play quite a bit. Otherwise 9 to 5 work ^.^ No rush for me, and any RL thing > gaming, I took that choice a long time ago and it's been refreshing. :-)
That's understandable. I was like that all through college. WoW was actually the game i was amped about when i was about halfway done with college, but i swore i wouldn't play it until i had the job i wanted cause i knew any blizzard game would consume my life and lead to bad grades and bad results. It was a wise choice to hold back. : )
But now my need to be responsible part of life is over and i plan to play the shit out of D3.

10/10 post. I'm doing the same exact thing and fully agree. I'm 28, creeping into my 30's, and have...sort of moved on from all that gaming... but the D3 launch for me will be legendary. It certainly has been awhile and i plan to enjoy it!

Thanks, I appreciate it, but all this responsibility is cutting into all of my D3 time!

Congrats! You'll be ok. Just volunteer to stay up at night to watch over her! That's my strategy for the moment lol.
