Finished the insanity playthrough, all the quests, everyone survived.
One saved game with Miranda as love interest, the other where I stayed faithful to Ashley.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Apparently, the release date for Origin is March 5th, but at 9:00PM Pacific time.
Don't think I'm gonna play at midnight...

Since my dogs like to wake me up at all hours of the night, not a problem for me.

I'm racing to finish a Liara-romancing completionist FemShep playthough of ME1.  I can completionist ME2 in about 30 hours with the best paragon result.

Shelled out 80 dollars for the "digital deluxe" edition.  Not totally sure why, in retrospect.

Nobody knows why you do anything.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I wanted to preorder, realized Europe gets in on Friday or something.

I hate that. So, once again, because of the retard policy of different release dates, they end up with me pirating it. Me and most of Europe.

cancel the pre-order, contact EU/Origin and get a coupon of up to 25% for next purchase.

Just use FlyVPN to say your IP address is from Hong Kong and you can play it at 15:00 GMT today like I'm doing. You're in IT, this should be a breeze for you.

This is about principles!!!111oneoneone

But, that said, how does this work? Do I have to open a new Origin account while logged in via a US proxy/VPN?

Your principles are forcing you to pirate a game?

1. Download FlyVPN

2. Get the Free trial username and password from here: http://www.flyvpn.com/freetrial

3. Log in to Origin under your NORMAL IP. This is important.

4. When Origin is loaded up go to your VPN and connect, pick the Asia tab at the top and pick Hong Kong

5. Click play on Mass Effect 3, it'll do the date and time check

6. When it's activated disconnect from the VPN

7. Exit Origin and turn it back on again

8. Play Mass Effect 3 at 15:00 GMT today or the gypsy timezone equivalent.  ;)

To be fair, you were going to pirate it anyways.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Don't condone Tamas' action, but doing away with differing release dates would be a good way to reduce piracy.  It's a stupid practice and I have no idea why publishers do it.
