How do you play your episode?

edited August 2014 in The Walking Dead

Every 2 or 3 months we get to enjoy 90 minutes of a new TWD episode.

How do you play these 90 minutes? In what atmosphere do you play? Is there some special food or drinks you like to have when playing a new episode? Share whatever you want. :D

Me personally, I always download the episode and prefer to play it late at night. I also make sure the lights are off and it's completely quiet. I like to have a drink while playing like an orange juice, coffee or energy drink. However, I don't like eating (e.g. popcorn) while playing the episode because you get distracted and less focused about the ongoing conversations. And of course "Appear offline" is the most important thing for me since I don't wanna get some disturbing game invites and messages during my gameplay. Finally, as soon as I finish the episode I go straight to this forum to read all the new threads about the episode.

How about you? :D

  • I plan to get smashed when it is released, i already bought the bottle, just waiting for them to release the game. It will give me an excuse to be drunk on a Tuesday.

  • Honestly, I do nothing for the atmosphere. I just check my Steam, download the episode and start to play. Nothing special.

  • Why would you get drunk while you're playing a video game?

  • I dim my room as much as possible, close my windows, lock my door, and rock back and forth as the episode downloads. Once it's finished... I prepare for the feels... And begin.

  • If you play an episode for your first time without headphones you're doin it wrong

  • I try to limit my drinking to one- two days a week. Its hard to do when your a musician. People are always buying you drinks.

  • I open a bag of Doritos and enjoy the episode.That's about it :P

  • i wasnt hating at all, it is something to celebrate, so i don't mind you getting drunk :)

  • The night before I move my laptop from the man cave to my room. When I wake up, I avoid the hell out of the internet while watching whatever shit is on TV. Then when it comes out I go back to my room, turn off all the lights, close the shades, grab a can of iced tea, put on my Clem hat, and play.

    Why not?

  • Well, get the episode from Steam, get a dark atmosphere, a box of tissues, a bag of chips, juice and headphones.

  • It depends. Usually during the school year, I just play for a while when I get home from school then finish the episode up on the weekend. During the summer however, I would just play it at night when everyone goes to bed. But since this is a special occasion, like with Wolf season finale, I tend to jazz it up like I'm watching a movie and get some popcorn and pop.

  • Haha good for you :D

  • I lie down on the sofa, dim the lights for atmosphere and tell my husband that if he interrupts me in the next 90 minutes I'll rip his head off :)

  • Thats the attitude! :D

  • For season one I didn't eat for a week before playing.

    For season two I strip naked and sit next to the airco with my feet in a bucket of ice water.

    To get into character.

  • For me it released at 19. I play it while drinking ice-tea. Life is simple. :)

  • three words, TOO MUCH INFORMATION!!!

  • Nah, too much information would be me explaining the effects the cold has on my dangly bits...

    I wait till it's dark. I close the door, so that I'm in complete darkness. Then I light a candle, download the episode, but on the most massive headphones I can find and shut off my mobile phone.
    Of course, I don't visit the Internet before my first playthrough. After I played it, I usually don't visit these forums so that I can make up my own mind without being convinced of a certain opinion. Sometimes, I write a short essay or review just for myself to deal with what happened.My girlfriend says I'm weird. If only she knew how much...

  • I NEVER play without headphones.

  • Well isn't this game about decisions?

    Usually when you are drunk and you make bad decisions that you gonna regret.

    It depends. Usually during the school year, I just play for a while when I get home from school then finish the episode up on the weekend. D

  • This is more like a movie than a game, and these 90 minutes only happens once every 2 months. So yeah..

  • Well, I close/shut/turn off everything that has any bit of light, making the room extremely dark. I grab a chair and sit on it. I usually have a coke and pretzels with me and I begin to play.

  • Funny enough, I like to play the game during morning, especially sunrise, where the first light illuminates my room :D.

    Don't know why honestly, maybe because I'm happy and excited during those times and the sunrise brings a warm and cozy feeling? xD

  • I don't have headphones...
