How are you prepping for Planetside

[Hamma]

I've seen a thread reguarding people taking time off when PS comes out. But what else are you doing to prepare? Upgrading your PC? Warning loved ones in advance that you may go missing for a few days?

[Revolution]

[JonnyK]

i told my mom that i'll need to be alone for a week ;) and when it was supposed to be released in april, before you pushed it back, it was going to be out on my sisters birthday, i told her that i was going to have to miss that.

[Civilian]

I bought a new system and I have put a curb on my porn downloads so they don't take up unnecessary hd space. ;)

[NeoDrgnMech]

Simply put, I plan to live off of carbonated beverages and Starburst for a LONG time......

[�io]

I dream of upgrading my PC to l33t status even though i know it won't happen.

I'm also trying to do all my work for my classes in advance but as usual PSU > school work. :ugh:

[Derfud]

Done:
Got more Ram
Got new Video card

Not Done:
Toilet installed by comouter
minifridge close to computer
locks to put on door so no one disturbes me

[Sputty]

Heh, I'm uograding my comp to 512 MB DDR and an Athlon XP 2200+. Also, I'll be stocking up on coke..About 50 or so 2 litres. Loeb has a great deal on them right now.

[Zatrais]

Hooking up a uber comfy toilet and a IV system next to my comp so i don't have to leave for annything.

[Lanizer]

Intel 2.4B CI(OCed to 3 GHZ)
Intel D850E MOBO
512 RDRAM
GF4 Ti4200 128 MB

Thats how I prepared for PS...kinda..

[Strygun]

I am gathering parts for my next computer:

AMD Athlon 2700+, GeForce4 Ti4600, new monitor (19"), new HD (60gigs), soundblaster live...Ohhh it's gonna rock

To afford that comp, I am working! rawr... I have $638, I need $1050. I am working tomorrow and tuesday (for $112 total), so I am very close.

[Navaron]

Upgraded to a uber l33t system, looking at getting even more ram.

I would suggest buying smaller bottles,such as 16oz, or maybe even cans! Everytime you refill your glass, you are taking a chance of spilling...causing PC to be destroyed:lol:
It would also be less time consuming!

I should be set for now, just bought my new chair(comfy),pretty much wore out my last one! Have my little portable cooler/fridge plugged in, just have to stock it when the time comes!;)

[xuur]

nice new comfortable chair. upgrade all my input devices (needed to anyway after the...erm...soda incident last week :rolleyes: ), KB & the like.

Not enough Caffine in Coke, just does not cut it for the real nerd, you need some kinda energy drink, or if you like something that does not taste like unwashed pootang Mt. Dew or Jolt or something at the least. I expected more from you sputty.

[Destroyeron]

Right now:
-Geforce4 MX
-512 RAM
-Practicing Every FPS I have
-Working Out
-Joined the finger wrestling club
-Playing chess to exercise mind activity to come up with new strategies

Edit: I'm also threatening the ISp companies around here to give us cable, or we'll all boycot and go to AOL. :scared:


Soon:
-New motherboard (preferably with ram and ddram slots, and with AGP slot (gateway screwed me)
-Geforce4 4600
-Prayer for Victory
-Prayer for Defeat of NC and Vanu (I know we won't need to be praying for victory, but it doesn't hurt. ;) )

High Caffiene Drinks:
Surge
Mountain Dew
Jolt
Coffee (DUH!)
Your wife
Your friends wife (CAUTION: may be hazardous to your health)

[Sputty]

Caffiene? Bah..Doesn't do anything anymore so that's why it doesn't matter.

[Sando138]

my preparations for planetside:

menu and phone for delivery chinese food and pizzas.

small, inconspicuos toilet near PC.

large supply of coca-cola classic.

CD player running infinite loop of 'Bring me to Life' by Evanescence, 'Duel of the Fates' from star wars Episode 1(from when obi-wan and Qui-gon are fighting Darth Maul), and many others.

electric shaver, sink, and sponge nearby. (I'd prefer to be clean while playing)

Bed (for when i collapse in exaustion)

very comfortable chair.

job for SOE telemarketing for planetside out of my home. (Hi, can i interest you in *BOOM* 4 months of participating in a massive *RATATATATATATATATAT* online war? if so, then go to www. plane-*ARGH!* excuse me, planetside.com and check it out!)

lots and lots of bubble wrap, for stress relief, when dealing with annoying TKers and spawn campers.

AIM so i can keep in touch with the outside world.

books and a flashlight in case of a power outage, which is fairly routine around here. the wind blows a little and the power goes out. the funny part is, our power system is all underground...

[CDaws]

Aside from taking one weeks vacation off, I already got my new reg about about three weeks ago.

P4 3g
1024mb ram
80gig hd
TI 4800 128mb graphics gard (the highend 4600)
CD/DVD burner
SB X-gamer sound card
Win 2K Pro OS

And I will be ordering in all of my food for the week. :D j/k

[Fire_Monkey]

512 DDR RAM
Radeon 9700 pro
new power supply 400 watt :lol:
Monitor (ouch) Digital flat screen LCD 1920x1200 (I wish)

Already have a toilet nearby, 5 feet away. Got a minifridge with coke and hotpockets. :D And I need a chair like squeeky's.

[Squeeky]

and yes, Caffeine IS logical

[Streamline]

Fell on hard times since November. I'm way behind on bills and i got debt piling up al araound me. So i'm all about work right now. Working as much as i can tolerate. Though in my profession the body doesn't hold out long. I just switched jobs/companies and i might be doing it again this week, we'll see. I'm no doubt charging PS and services to a CC. But you know how that goes.

[Mtx]

I'm drinking to passs the time and wash away my sarrows.

[Crono]

I'm going to stock up on chips, Coke (Coca-Cola) and lock myself in my room... Then call all my friends (like I have any) and tell them that I'm committing suicide.
Yey!

[Manitou]

Listen to Hamma. I forgot to eat this past weekend. The IV drip kept popping out because I move my arms too much.

[Tobias]

Damn beta people, shouldent you be overseas killing people Manitou?

[Manitou]

Why? When I can do it safely in my own home?? :D

[Airlift]

To prepare for release, I spend 16 hours a day in a meditative state, making peace with the untold millions who will be laid at my feet by the sheer ownage that fills every pixel and packet of my being ;)

[Explosive17]

aaaaaaaaa the sweet words of true comp nerds.....:p

Hehe... My heart stops when I have to do anything involving physical activity. :(

[JonnyK]

i would buy those things, but my toilet is a good 6 steps out my bedroom door, and the fridge is a good 10 steps downstairs, i have a split level house so everything is really close together. as in stairways are like 5 steps each and it doesn't take long to get from one toilet to my computer :D

[MrVulcan]

:p I am in a dorm, I can reach everything w/o moveing :lol: The 1 time that this is a good thing!! :p
