Well do anything to get you in the mood before you play the game or some sort of ritual?

For myself it's some premium Ichor brah :p

    My friend IMs me, says "hey episode 5 is out let's play it together!"

    Then I say "but I have to-"

    Then she says "SHUT UP AND LET'S PLAY" so I play.

    This has pretty much happened with chapters 3 and 4 so this is no doubt my "ritual" for this time too.

    I dance the Voodoo dance of Triple Obscurity, then I sacrifice a lamb to Nor Treblig with an onyx blade chanting blasphemous songs of fright from the Lore of the Ancient Gods. Then, when the blood of the lamb has been collected in a bathtub, I bathe in it (still chanting). Then I get up, get to my pc and play.

    Yeah I have one. First I inhale and exhale violently. Then I run around the room making monkey noises and shouting OMG OMG OMG. Then I throw away my empty Monster can. Then I drink the tears of innocent children. Then I begin.

    I cover my torso with apricot marmalade and eat it if/when I get hungry while waiting for the game to be released. No, I do NOT have time to do other stuff when I'm pressing F5 on "Your Purchases" page. :mad:

    Would your method be as effective with other flavors of marmalade?

    Well, I dont really have a ritual more then finding a way to get off work.

    Episode 1 I said my mother died.

    Episode 2 I said the rest of my family was killed in a train heist.

    Episode 3 I went in the office bathroom and forced myself to throw up all over myself and came out screaming that I had lymes disease.

    Episode 4 I Stabbed myself with a pen in my knee and they sent me home and banned my use of pens.

    Episode 5 I just decided to keep it simple and punched my boss in his nose and he fired me.

    It's hard to tell the difference between port and starboard, when you've drank too much port

    My pre-release ritual is wiping clean the F5 key, because it will be much used this evening.

    JedExodus - you and me both, hombre, you and me both. Oh, and listening to some choice beats flexed out on the ol' steel drums (actually - that's not just hippy rhetoric, I truly love the steel drums... largely thanks to MI's soundtracks over the years... *sigh of contentment*.)

    Oh, and also,

    I felt that someone had to appreciate this diehard list of Faux Familial Fiascos. Good effort wdrpgwd. As a side note, once I did stab myself with a pencil, no less, by accident, and it sort of... tattooed me. For about 2 months I had a black spot under my skin. It wasn't a bruise. It was like those traditional khmer tattoos where they get a nail and some ink and then hammer away.

    Scary.
