    important question though

    is there any way to get steam to go through a new zealand proxy

    That's what I did on Origin to access Dragon Age: Inquisition early.

    So it should be possible on Steam, too.

    EDIT: Ooooor maybe that's not a good idea. Steam apparently doesn't want you to use proxy servers, and is in their rights to ban your account if you do.

    well now i'm just a sourpuss because i was looking forward to getting it a day early

    and now i'm right back to having to figure out how to get enough sleep monday afternoon that i can play it all night and still walk into work first thing in the morning

    and the answer is pretty much that that's impossible and i'm gonna get to play it for maybe an hour and spend all day at work boring a hole through the clock with my eyes

    The way I see it is

    I just need to get through the intro to the Afghanistan stuff

    That is pretty much all that can be spoiled for me on day 1 since it apparently goes deep on open-world missions with hardly any story and doesn't let up for a long time

    And I have nothing to do all day Wednesday so I am just going to indulge myself

    monday's also the only day next week i have the house to myself

    so it would've been the only day i could play withotu the constant possibility of having random errands dumped on me or impromptu computer help needed

    it was kind of perfect and i was really excited that I was gonna get a whole day to dig the fuck into the game instead of having to cram it into the tiny little empty spaces of the rest of the week

    Eh, man, with the amount that you like Metal Gear I'd say it's understandable, at least.

    I got made fun of by a friend for being frustrated as to whether I would play at one point or like 16 hours later, and I'm like "Oh, I know, I'm a fucking manchild, but have you seen that TRAILER"

    mostly because that means there's gonna be a solid 17 hours where the internet gets even more spoiler-saturated than it is now

    and considering that i've already seen a few tiny bits and pieces that i wish i hadn't that's gonna really suck

    iirc they only really seem to enforce that if you're using proxies to buy stuff at low prices from russia or something

    I proxied a few times on Origin, but wouldn't fuck with it on Steam. Too much invested.

    bughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    it's like my patience was a pitcher of water

    and when I found out i only had to wait 2 days instead of three i instantly dumped out a third of the pitcher

    and now i'm realizing that I have to spread 2 days worth of patience over 3 days

    Don't worry about it. I'd get this way about Lost or Breaking Bad. It's normal.

    No I don't.

    I tried to bribe someone into selling me the game early today.

    It worked.

    Then they realised that the game wasn't in stock, they just had all the launch stuff and dummy boxes but not the game yet.

    It's probably for the best. I have 2 copies on the way to me and there's a good chance 1 or both will arrive tomorrow anyway, the bribe would only have gotten me one tired night of play.

    Also there's a bus stop nearby with an 8 foot poster advertising the game and I am very tempted to steal it. I mean they'll just destroy it when they replace in a week.

    it's not really something you can find on the internet

    you just have to know your stores

    All the independent stores I knew that would break dates are dead. The one really good independent store got big and became a chain, and now they're too big to break dates. The only place it happens are the supermarkets, as they often just dump everything onto the shelf whenever they get it. But it seems they're just not sending them the game early this time.

    Apparently people that preordered with simplygames started getting the game delivered on Thursday.

    supermarkets are more reliable than you'd think, since a lot of people working there just don't give a shit

    but lots of games now will also come with big DO NOT SELL UNTIL THIS DATE stickers and sometimes registers will automatically reject them

    I've noticed a regular thing at my local Target, and it is this specific

    They will put out new Disney Infinity figures weeks before they're supposed to come out

    And their registers won't ever let them sell them

    If it's the spoiler I think you're talking about then yeah, I wasn't happy either.
