i own both previous SSE dios and will be pissed if i miss the creature dio
It should be fairly simple to avoid missing it. Just follow these steps:
1) Avoid any and all hygiene activities that might take you away from your computer (or use a laptop that you can take with you on said excursions)
2) Keep an ample supply of nutrients from the various food groups close at hand (Red Bull, cheetos, and pizza, for example)
3) Shun all forms of
actual human contact (following step 1 should make this much easier to accomplish)
4) Schedule time off from work or school if possible. If that is not possible, or you forget, then call in sick to work or school - The Swine Flu is a pretty sure bet to get people to tell you to stay home. (Note: announcing, in advance, that you expect to be "ill" during the last week of October is probably not the best idea)
5) Keep the Spooktacular chat window open continuously, scanning for comments such as "OMG!! The creech is up for order NOW!!!"
6) Press the refresh button on the Spooktacular news AND new products pages every 90 seconds - multiple browser windows or a tabbed browser are essential to this step, and multiple monitors connected to your computer would also be a plus.
7) And above all, DO NOT SLEEP! Sleep is for the weak!
Follow these simple instructions, and you will be assured of scoring an SSE Creature Diorama. Then you can proceed to the next step:
8) Check yourself into a detox facility or hospital to prevent loss of a kidney or other vital organ.
