Post your Launch day spreads! (Cat is not amused by TR DOGTag)

[BigpermCML]

Who you think you're kidding with the oranges? :P

My preparredness only revolves around me ordering a 680 for spiffy physx. damn you nvidia!

[bullet]

I don't see the poop bucket....you need a poop bucket.

[Rothnang]

Damn, I forgot to get a cat.

[Furber]

I see you brought the Meow Mix, you are definitely prepared

[JoeDragon]

Looks like you're preparing for a triple bypass instead of launch.

Sir, everyone knows a little bit of fruit instantly makes anything healthy!

What? I love oranges, lol.

The Cat is taking care of the nap, where otherwise you'd want a solid slap.

The Cat is a highly trained Snack Retriever. But to answer your question... The Zombie Apocalypse.

Well, I'm not, that's for sure! Preparedness does not really factor for me though, as it will take about 60 straight hours for the client to download on my internet connection. Sort of sucked the wind out of the o'l sails when I read we'd have to download the whole thing again. I'll play eventually, I suppose. Woo...

I remember the days of DSL. 756k is murder. Back when SWTOR was about to launch I finally decided I had enough. (That was a 30 gig D/L) Hopefully before long higher speeds will be cheaper and available everywhere.

[Witchkrapht]

Case of Cherry Coke and a bottle of Sailor Jerry is all I need...

[Sledgecrushr]

I got a whole case of these delicious treats.

Poor cat, fattening him up for launch!

[DirtyBird]

I think the cats for wiping not eating.

[RSphil]

i shall get my supplies on the way home from work in the morning. thank god its like 5pm start in uk. i need sleep after night shift lol

[TermiGR]

I am back in school after a few years of work - so i will attend school first and get home around 1300 or 1500 (German Time). I will let my pc turned on so i can download the game from school via Teamviewer if the Download gets available. I just subscribed for 6 month, so yeah im prepared when the Servers start around 1900! ;)

[JoeDragon]

Poor cat, fattening him up for launch!

That's how we do Thanksgiving in Florida!

Incidentally, I may have used that cat to soak up some spilled water at one point... >.>

He didn't seem to mind.

[PurpleOtter]

Needs more Twinkies!

[JoeDragon]

Needs more Twinkies!


No Twinkies, however I did find some Banana Nut muffins that had some sort of creme injected into them... I weep for America, and myself for being unable to resist trying them.

[Fear The Amish]

Yeah my kit includes a handle of Makers mark, Carton of Camel lights, two 24 packs of Yeungling, and a buncha french pizza's.... and you know oranges because fruit makes everything healthy.

Damn right! 'MURICA!

[QuantumMechanic]

Beer, wine, some stronger wine, rum. Slim Jims and string cheese. Pizza. Wait, that's just like every weekend though...

[Ghoest9]

You should only eat pizza during launch. So the only prep should be Mountain Dew.

[Beerbeer]

I'm stoked. I haven't felt this way about a video game since before the first planetside.

If I didn't have to work on Wednesday, I would dip into my beer reserve. Although that will happen Wednesday night, so hell yeah!

[SixShooter]

Since the launch happens so late in the morning, I'll have plenty of time to stock up on supplies and get a good nap in before I ruin myself for the next 5 days. Luckily I had some vacation time to burn up before the end of the year and payday is on the 20th.
:cheers:

[DDSHADE]

That's awesome! :) I'm going to have to go and hit the store while PS2 is downloading! :)

[Knightwyvern]

Too much adrenaline, sleep might be difficult tonight. Haven't felt this way about a game launch for a loooong, long time.

[NoDachi]

Today I fitted my heatsink and overclocked to 4.5ghz ready for tomorrow.

Hostess has filed for bankruptcy. Get your twinkies while they still exist.

I'm regretting not getting a new PC as mine is a 2.8ghz 8 core with 4 gigs of RAM (HAH!) but my current rig keeps my FPS at a nice steady 30fps in big fights with all settings at max. Really can't complain about a station wagon keeping up with the sports cars.

I obviously can't say anything for 100% certain, but here is a tip you should definitely try with that kind of connection:

1) make a backup of "resources" folder in your beta folder (this is about 95% of the install size - the raw assets)
2) uninstall as pr. SOE instructions normally
3) start installing PS2 when it releases (im assuming the launchpad will do the majority of the downloading)
4) cancel the download, close launchpad, go to the newly created install folder and put in your backup-ed respources folder.
5) start up launchpad again and restart the download. I'm fairly sure you now won't have to download more than about 10% of the gamefiles (some of the assets probalby had changes, but most of them will be the same, and the rest of the files are fairly trivial in size). I recommend after the downoad that you do a "full file check" or "repair-install" or whatever its called just so it doublechecks that all files are indeed up-to-date.

This should be fairly risk-free since you aren't keeping any settings files or similar, so the worst that could happen is that you have a few extra useless files in your resources folder that the release game just didn't need (launchpad might delete these too but im not sure about that).

I have a fast connection but I will be giving this a try anyway just to save me an hour or two of downloading. You could litterally save yourself days so for you it should be a no-brainer. Worst case scenario they have altered the filestructure so much that it ust dosn't accept it and you have to do the full download anyway - nothing lost except for roughly 2 minutes of work.

I remember the days of DSL. 756k is murder. Back when SWTOR was about to launch I finally decided I had enough. (That was a 30 gig D/L) Hopefully before long higher speeds will be cheaper and available everywhere.

PS1 was my first proper PC game. I remember being really, really disappointed when after installing it at Christmas 2003 (PC was a christmas present) it promptly started to patch itself. On my 256k "broadband" the download took all night! Good thing instant gratification isn't my priority!

Back on topic, I've got a half day off work in the afternoon on Wednesday. Hopefully will get the download done and dusted on Tuesday with my toon created so I just need to roll in from work and log on. I may pick up a bag of crisps on the way home!

[LoliLoveFart]

So -

1. Be back at home - check
2. Subscribe to Planetside 2 (6month plan) - check
3. Download the Game - incomplete
4. Play the Game! - incomplete


I really hope they release the download soon! If the Servers are strong i should be finnished really fast (150 MBits), but i also want that my Outfit can play too - some of them do not have such a good connection.

[Sunrock]

1hg cocaine is all I need ;)

[snaffe]

I can see it totally not launching in 5 hours time with a stupid amount of problems.

But here's hoping it will run smoothly.

Post your Launch day spreads! (Cat is not amused by TR DOGTag)

The oranges are a great idea! It'll keep you from getting sick...and scurvy. I wish I was half that prepared. Let me see I have...


Half bag of Tostito's Sccops with no dip
Half bag of Oreos
A baggie of goldfish


That's it. I have plenty of Soda but it's going to be a long day.

[Shogun]

narf. have to do a trip for work for the next few days. couldn´t have been timed better :/

but this evening i will be at home, so i might be able to download and hopefully register some chars. but i don´t think i will be able to play much before the weekend.
but nice treads you got there. will go and get me some onion chips as well. oh and the devil dogs look delicious, too. too bad i am sure you don´t get them here in germany. haven´t seen them before.

but for the weekend some nasty coffein drinks are needed. this energy shit ;)

Higby isn't ordering Pizza for the crew!? What about those cakes they we're showing off on twitter? lol.

Even if he was, poor RadarX isn't in the same office as the team. :D

[Kitsune]

Game launches when I'm 30 minutes into my college classes -_-
sigh... 4 more hours to go after that, then the train back to dorms...
5 hours after launch q_q
Download game, 3 hours give or take connection speed...
8:30 PM before I get play and I got 2 classes tomarrow...
I now have a difficult choice before me...
Student?
Or Zombie?

[JoeDragon]

Even if he was, poor RadarX isn't in the same office as the team. :D

I thought that might be the case. Good thing Dominos let's you order and pay online... Just sayin',it could happen if Higby wanted to...

[Tharrak]

Two hours to go. I blame this thread on the sudden urge to hit the grocery stores. You are all so very very evil, but that's why we can relate after all.
