Diablo 3 launch night preparation

Tonight is the night when it all happens. In about 6 hours I will be logging in to play Diablo 3!
Here are a couple of tips to help prepare.

Pre-Install

The early install has started and if you sorted out the downloader, you will be able to install right now. That way you will be able to hit the game a 23.00 GMT sharp.
Also as a side note. If you get a message saying Unable to initialise streaming or createstreamingmanifest::getstreamingmanifestcontents then there is a couple of things you can try before you panic.
Make sure you run the installer as admin and if that doesn't work try again, try again, try again. I had to start my installer 7 times before it actually worked and with more and more people hitting the servers I expect that others will run in to similar issues.

Prep Snacks and Food for D3 gaming night

You don't really want to have to break off gaming early to go shop for food and snacks do you? I thought not. You have 6 hours to stock up on vital things like drinks, sweets and proper food. Do it now!
Here is my stash of snacks for Diablo 3. I don't actually like the standard gamer nutrients like soda and crisps which is why this might look slightly stange to you.

There is always room for Kinder Eggs and hot chocolate though ;)

Free up space on your D3 drive

If at all possible, make sure to free up space on your Diablo drive. The downloader is 7.something GB and the game itself is 15gb+

On a final note. I will be streaming my gaming experience live as soon as I am able to log in, so if you are at work and can't play or in another unfortunate situation that makes it impossible to log in, you can still get a dose of D3. The link to my LiveStream is here.

Time to slay some Demons!
