My Launch Day Tradition

I have a little tradition for the first chance I have to play on Launch Day. I go to the flower shop and pick up my wife a dozen of her favorite roses.

It's not so much to butter her up -- after all I could do that the day before the launch. It's just my way of saying that out of the 362 days I could randomly get her flowers, I chose the day when I most value my free time.

Of course, I'm slightly modifying the tradition this year. I'm going to go get her flowers before I play the game but not before I'm in the game, since I need to finish my addons article and going to get flowers is probably more fun than writing that article.

The nice thing is that I'm sure my wife will be surprised. Unfortunately, she'll be surprised because every time I do this she doesn't remember that I've done it like three times before.

Oh well. Any of you have any Launch Day Traditions?

I don't really have any traditions. Mostly because I haven't been in the launch of very many games.

I guess WAR is probably a good opportunity to make some though.

What an awesome idea! I should really get my wife flowers more often. . . ESPECIALLY the week where I disappear and play the game like a maniac.

I always make sure I cook my husband's favorite dinner on launch day. Of course, it's not my fault that his favorite is steak, salad and baked potato! (Which is ridiculously easy.)
