How to survive pre-order waiting

TheGrandSlayer · 06-30-2003, 10:52 PM

My father pre ordered Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, and I am waiting, and whist waiting I came up with these 12 simple solutions to pass time,
1)Beat a video game.(done)
2)Unlock everything in a video game.(done)
3)beat the video game you recently beat again. (done)
4)Look at screen shots of the game you pre-ordered.(done)
5)Buy new games, then beat them. (done)
6)Buy so many Lord of The Rings action figuers that you can re-create the battle of Helm's Deep.With real orc and Gimli warcries!(Thinking of doing that tomarrow)
7)Read an entire series of novels (Done)
8) Dream about what your going to do when your pre-ordered game arrives .(Have been doing such alot...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz)
9)Find out the meaning of life.(I think I'm done)
10) If Item is trackable track it and keep pressing refresh for updates, when nothing happens beat your head on your desk 4 times, keep doing this!(Doing it, refresh...$@#$@!*slams head on desk 4 times.)
11)Make a list of things to do when your waiting for something pre-ordered.

EDIT:
12) Edit the list of things to do when your waiting for something pre-ordered.

Here's my list:

1)Never pre-order

A game is never worth the time you spend waiting. Instead of holding your breath, wait till it hits the stores, and go out and buy it. You know they pound you with shipping, right?

Never pre-order as Nanobyte mentioned.

I usually forget all about the game and then a few months later I read about it somewhere. At that time the game is in the stores but it can take some time before I buy it if I do 'cos I'm busy playing an old (unfinished) game or doing something else. Take Championship Manager 4 as an example. Wanted to buy it as soon as possible but I still haven't done it and can't be bothered right now. You can add Neverwinter Nights, Planescape Torment + others games to that list. Might buy them when the price has dropped even more.

Just so you know, I stopped by Bestbuy today to pick up a copy of SoU ($24.99!), and they had a whole display of this new Warcraft game. Do you have yours yet?
