Bad Start to The Longest Day Ever!!!

Finally fell asleep last night after taking my meds at about 2 AM. Just got woken up at 2 minutes to 7 (6:58 AM) by my wife complaining she was late and getting ready in a mad dash to make it to work on time (because instead of getting ready when she woke up at 6 she messed around on Facebook instead).

Here I was hoping to sleep as much of the day away as possible so there would be fewer hours to wait for BG when I woke up. Now I'm sitting here feeling like Vader/Ani at the end of Star Wars Episode 3...NoooOooOooOoooo!!!!

    lol @ leyshjonoe That might work, but then as soon as the game is unlocked you'll be so tired you'll pass out before you even finish rolling your character. :/

    I also got up very early today and it is getting really really slow, so I decided to reorganize furnishings in my bedroom.

    I was thinking the same thing!

    This is the beginning of a new era indeed :P

    I haven't slept yet. Let's see, it's five AM now. And the game is released at noon my time. Seven hours. If I sleep right now, for eight hours, I will only miss the first hour of the release, probably dodging the server crash that will inevitably arise. Sounds like a plan.

    Good night folks.

    I waited so long for this game, a couple of hours more doesn't matter, love to start it again!!

    I've just been informed by Trent that the release has been delayed by 24 hours, feel free to sleep.

    That's it... sleep.


    Mowhahaha

    Have you ever heard of "Don't Shoot the Messenger."? Neither have I.

    On a serious note, I hope that was just a cruel cruel joke.

    You can read some creepypasta to stay up. =)

    I had an idea to buy the game, then I saw the poor screenshots and changed my mind. But then I remembered how much I loved BG2 so I managed to convince myself that I needed the game. So I've preordered it and it's currently downloading!

    Cruel? Perhaps.

    Joke? Perhaps not.

    But yes, it was.

    a really bad start so far... apparently, my GPU decided today would be a good day to die. trying my best to breath a new life into it, but for fucks sake, today? couldn't the little bugger do that at *literally any other goddamn day of the year*?

    Ouch....man, I feel for ya brother. Do you maybe have a older PC around you could run BG:EE on? As we're all sure you shouldn't need a "top-o-the-line" GPU to run it. Maybe even on-board graphics could handle it. At least to get you gaming while you *possibly* have to wait for a new GPU. I hope all goes well and you get to play today my friend.

    luckily, I have a nicely aged laptop, but it would be best to breath life into my current GPU... it works somewhat, but the dearest display driver crashes on a few things, like video playback, and I'm not sure it won't crash on BGEE... biggest problem is, it doesn't look like a software issue, considering it does this little thing in both of my installed OSs.

    I am not amused.

    You in FL by any chance? I've got an old GeForce 7000*something* laying around. Drive over and I'll give it to you cheap. I was going to give it to a friend of mine to build him something that could play some kind of games for him but he's turned into a serious douchebag lately so screw him, he can fend for himself. You want it, let me know.

    it gets worse as the game is not launching on time. *sigh.* oh well.

    thank you for the extremely kind offer! :)
    sadly, I happen to live on the other end of the globe, in Central Europe. :C

    I'll try and wiggle something together, hopefully.

    NP at all. Always glad to offer a hand to a fellow BG fan in need. especially with the incredibly bad luck you've had. Hope all goes well and you at least get BG:EE up and running while getting your GPU to work/replaced.
