how do you prepare for a big gaming session?

If it's a new day

Wash & dress etc
Breakfast
Load PC open mumble
Get drink out fridge
Get my snack box next to monitor
Crosslegs v important can't play otherwise
Play
 
Come home from work about 7. Sort dinner, tell son off for whatever he's done wrong, complete all the chores like washing, ironing, making lunch for the next day, bins out etc. Watch a bit of TV or sit on the sofa having a conversation with someone who's glued to Facebook and paying no attention to what I say most of the time.

Some nights, I will eventually manage to get the gf to let me "play on the playstation" (I own an Xbox one and a PC, she has no interest in any of it). It's almost always after 10pm by this point and I'm already knackered from a full day of work and whatever else.

What happens is I spend about an hour deciding what game to play, get distracted by Youtube videos or work, then realise it's already past midnight and I have work tomorrow, so I go to bed.

Life was much easier when I was single and felt like I had all the time in the world. Plus nobody to nag me.

I make sure I have nothing to do in the house so dishes done, tidying done etc

Then its computer on, projector on, footrest pulled over to the sofa, e cig topped up, drink poured, bladder emptied, game on!
 
Is there beer in the fridge? Yes.

Enough cigarettes until the morning? Yes.

Repeat until work.

e:, just seen someone elses, 'wash and dress', what point in life have I reached where THAT WAS OPTIONAL!

rolled out of bed at 1pm today, played GTAV naked until 3ish, got ready for work (inc. shower and clothes).

Preparation? WT actual F?

I sit in a chair and do what I want... if it happens to lead to a marathon session (rarely these days) so be it. I have never prepared for it, that's just weird!

It's necessary.

Actually to be fair the Mrs is very good with me, I get 4-5 nights a week where I can game and she's totally cool with it. I spend the first part of the evening with her cooking dinner, then we catch up about the day and watch a bit of telly. She then heads off to bed, and I head to the Mantorium.

I am waiting for the holy grail though, a free weekend home alone. Then I shall be closing curtains, turning the phone off, and playing through The Last of Us Remastered on the big telly/surround kit.
