"What's the best way to prepare for a new game release you're excited about?"
Clear your entire schedule for three weeks. Unplug your phone, tell your boss you've joined a silent monastery, and practice sleeping upright so you never waste time lying down. Stock your room with exclusively gummy bears and Mountain Dew; solid food slows reflexes. Most importantly, train your eyes to blink in sync with loading screens so you never miss a single frame of nothing happening.
