Grimrock

In order to mitigate the anxiety of the last 24 hours before the release of LoG, there is one simple formula:

Chimay beer + Dungeon Master = sedation and patience.

Trying to stay focused and get whatever work I can out of the way to take Thursday and Friday both off to stay up late and play.

Incidentally, I felt that Belgian beers fit the Grimrock theme nicely as well and stocked up on plenty of Rochefort 10 and St. Bernardus Abt 12 for my first night in the dungeon tomorrow. Had I any Westvleteren 12 still in my collection, I'd crack a bottle for this event for sure... oh, well!

my husband doesn't allow me to drink -_- you have no idea how bad i would love to do these things lol.

I was so excited over the Grimrock release that I did all of this weeks work during last week, and now I have nothing to do this day before Grimrock I don't want to start anything ambitious or overly time consuming, yet I need to find something to do.
So currently I'm passing time by drinking tea and reading forums.

I'd be curious what the objection is, good beer is wonderful. Normally I wouldn't pry, but you did bring it up. Feel free to disregard.

My personal recommendation under those circumstances is substituting good old fashioned Root Beer iced down teeth-chattering cold
