How Do You Celebrate Buying a New Game

So, buying a AAA title costs for me I have to save up alot to get just one, and I celebrate it by getting take-away pizza.

Regret and self loathing.

I usually get so pumped up before i get the game that i have to tell everyone about the game.

I like pizza too.

I set up a ritual altar where I light candles and slowly remove the shrinkwrap, then open the case and sniff the toxic smell of plastic. After i'm done absorbing the smells into my nose I inspect the discs artwork and then read the manual carefully.

I then go to play the game.

when I was younger, I used to clean my room before playing  because I didnt want my mom coming in and bothering me about my dirty room while I was trying to play my new game.

My gaming ritual nowadays would mostly consit of me stepping over whatever filth may or may not be on my floor and pop the game in :P

On the way home from the store I drive slowly up and down the streets of my neighborhood, my head out the car window yelling "I just got Black Op's 2!!!  I just got Black Op's 2!!!" and I hold the box high in the air so everyone can see.

By playing it and enjoying its awesomeness.

When I get home with it I unwrap it like a gleeful little girl, open the box, flick through the manual and then play the game. When I get GTA V I may rub it against my face too and talk to it. :)MonoSilver

I can relate to every sentence in your post, even the GTA V part. Except I mostly avoid the manual until I am acually playing the game, because I don't want any spoilers.

That' s pretty much what I do although depending on my mood I may smell the game' s case/manual. God I love the smell of a brand new game. :D

Oh and if the game comes with a paper map (like a GTA games) I love to have a good look at that beforehand as it just makes me even more excited.

Most the time I just get it and...cool a new game lol.  BUT if it is a game I am super pumped for or one me and my buddies are going to play launch day for awhile I may buy some pizza / beer and dig in to the game and the food and have a blast. 

I play said game. Sometimes I'll get food, too, but that's usually after a long day at work or like a huge taxing or annoying event.

For instance, after sitting through the SAT a second time, I sat down and ahd me a double Baconator, large fries and some diet Coke. It was heavenly.
