Unfortunately for me, 'kittens' is taken and actively used.
- Wake up at 6:30 AM.
- Go downtown and put up fliers at this university I'm holding a Halo 4 LAN party at.
- Have a conference with my mom's doctors to talk about her condition.
- Do some grocery shopping (enough to last me a few days).
- Clean my room.
- Make some phone calls for this Kickstarter project I'll hopefully be telling you guys about soon.
- Go for a bike ride to burn off some anxiousness.
- Go to Gamestop at 10pm. Grab a number.
- Go back to Gamestop at midnight, buy my copy of Halo 4 when my number is called.
- Bike home as fast as fucking possible, sprint to my 360, install both Halo 4 discs, redeem my Gamestop BR code, and hop into War Games.
What's your gamertag now? I had you when you were popular revolt but I don't know what your new one is.

Got my whole Tuesday planned out, essentially.
1. Midnight release. Get game, XBL, soundtrack, and MS points.
2. Get back to dorm, play MP for a couple of hours.
3. Few hours of sleep.
4. Wake up, start campaign, then maybe more MP.
5. Last-minute studying for test.
6. Take test
7. Head back to dorm for more Halo 4.
8. Head out to get familiar with equipment for a film festival I'll be a projectionist for. This one.
9. Dinner/more Halo 4
10. Go over to friend's house to watch election results. Call it when Obama wins Ohio.
11. Watch victory/concession speeches.
12. Go home and go to bed.

Photoshopping HaloGAF Contest Results
There were some amazing entries - I highly recommend you check out the gallery in that post (and feel free to hotlink/post your favorites here).
Back into the darkness for me. One sleep! (sorta)
If that person doesn't play xbl you can attempt to contact him and see if he'd be willing to arrange some soft of exchange.

I like how your list seems to get more urgency with every point, classic tone.
How very responsible of you, I think my international prez vote goes to you. There's Halo 4 and you're more about school and politics, impressive.
You sure showed those fellow Halo players at your office! Fuck I'm still laughing at this one mate, so much fail it's morphed into win.
In exactly 24 hours from now, I will be waiting by the electronics register at Wal Mart wearing my Daft Punk Master Chief tshirt, with 3 other greasy nerds behind me that will most likely be high off of methamphetamine, and the one single electronics employee will quickly scan my tightly wrapped, glossy, shining copy of the Halo 4 Standard Edition. They will scan it as if it's a loaf of bread, or something to toss away. I will watch it glide across the counter as the theft device is deactivated, and is clumsily tossed into a bag.
The Wal Mart employee will quickly glance at me and flash a very brief, toothless smile, and tell me to have a good night like I just crashed into their car and we traded insurance information. I will grab the bag with my sweaty hands and speed walk past the grocery aisles, trying as hard as possible not to look like I'm counting every minute passed not playing the game I'm holding. I'll be slightly nervous crossing the threshold of the store, in fear I may set off the theft alarm, detaining me for another 45 seconds.
I will then be outside of the building, and jogging to my dirty 2011 Kia Soul. I will mash the unlock button and jump into my car. I will speed across the empty parking lot and pray for a quick green light at the intersection. I will then drive exactly 3 blocks to my apartment, swiftly activating the entrance gate, speed up to my apartment, and park in my car port. I will run full speed to my door, throw it open, and sloppily begin unwrapping the shrink wrap to my game. I will crack open the case very slowly, and absorb the fresh fumes that rise from the case. I will remove any DLC codes and ignore everything else for the time being.
I will turn on the Xbox, redeem my Oceanic skin code, and boot up the game.
17 months in the making.
One sleep.
Fucking hold me.

Speaking of this, if anyone from Florida didn't early vote, good luck on Tuesday. HuffPo reported three- to four-hour lines for early voting. I waited an hour and a half. There's no telling how long the wait will be on Tuesday.

I get off work tomorrow morning at 8am. After that:
1. Go home, sleep for 5-6 hours.
2. Get up and check Halogaf.
3. Consider whether or not I should go preorder the game the day of release and decide whether to go Walmart or Bestbuy
4. Activate xbox live gold subscription which i intended to do way beforehand
5. May play some Reach?
6. Wait until midnight.
7. Play through campaign first. Will probably try and do it all in one run on Heroic.
Anyone know a good link to see all the different pre-order offerings based on which store you buy from?
You can unlock it after your first game I am pretty sure.
You should be able to have it after your first game.

I live in NC and heard lines for early voting were taking about an hour. Going in at 7am to vote on Tuesday, really hope it isn't that long.
Passed by early voting on Friday and the line was literally a block long. Sent in my absentee vote over a week ago!
There's a LOT more places to vote on Tuesday...

Monday-Tuesday Plans:
1. Smash my Reach disc into 1,000 pieces. There's no turning back.
2. Vote.
3. Pickup Halo 4 at whatever soulless chain store around here sells it at Midnight.
4. Play Halo 4 until I pass out.

I'm going to go to the mall at 10 AM and walk out with a bunch of eggrolls and Halo 4. Then I'll post a picture of it in the pick up thread while installing the discs. If any HaloGAF people are on and playing MP maybe I'll ask for an invite and demonstrate how terrible I am at Halo now.

I'm looking at the map of Columbia right now and there's no place that might have H4 for miles. Ugh.
My phallic member is pleased.
Plans for Launch:
-Not getting the game at Midnight but I might go and give away a bunch of Halo Swag. Don't know yet.
-Then I'm going to play some Halo Reach
-Cry myself to sleep
-And then I will outside my front door waiting for the UPS man to bring me Halo 4.
Is Amazon doing 1 day delivery or am I going to cry myself to sleep for a couple days?

Delivery Date: November 6th, 2012 - November 9th 2012
If you have day 1 delivery on it then you'll get it day 1 unless they have "airplane malfunctions" or something.
I sent you a FR BTW, kittens. If anyone else wants to add me, my GT is Capcpom.
It will most definitely be release day delivery.
You should change your gamertag to "red rocket" lol

Just went 23-3-6 on Complex. Really able to work with the new mechanics, maps and guns. The DMR is excellent now.

Amazon better have my game delivered on the 6th. Will go out and vote early and patiently wait for Halo 4. Once in my hands will look at Reach and toss it in a bin. That game's multiplayer will never be played again.

Here's a link to the HuffPo article. Some early voting locations closed due to poor infrastructure. Essentially, Rick Scott refused to extend early voting hours. With less time to vote, the amount of voters during that time exceeded expectations. That means that the people who were turned away from voting plus the people who weren't willing to wait in line for hours -- the article reports up to nine hours in one case -- are voting on Tuesday.
Yes, there will be more locations open, but there will be quite a few people voting on Tuesday. Bring snacks.
Sorry for the politics. One more sleep 'til Halo 4.
Aren't you Chocopolka? The last time we played Halo together, you were murderous. There's no way you're terrible at Halo now. That kind of talent doesn't fade.

My condolences, I think I'd go postal not playing on launch day
On another topic does anyone think SmartGlass will include real time integration with CSR? It would give me reason to use my windows phone or iPad during games.

It's my own damn fault for not reserving it earlier. I got bailed out
