I didn't pre-order till Dec. 8th so I don't expect to play until about 37 seconds before the general launch. In the meantime I can play WoW or some other game, like I did before this whole pre-launch thing. Or I could watch TV like I did when I was a kid. Or I could read a book like my parents did. Or, and this is the craziest idea of all, I could go outside and enjoy the fresh air, natural light, and the sounds of birds chirping. My point is there were things that humanity did, before Geoge Lucas invited us to play in his galaxy far, far away, that occupied our minds.
