Do you set aside evenings for special game events?

Sometimes something special happens in a game. A new expansion launches. A major patch drops. A beta starts. Whatever the case, whether it's in Final Fantasy XIV or Ultima Online, it seems to be the sort of thing that calls for a little celebration. You take some time off from your usual activities. You get takeout. You try to make sure that whatever's starting tonight, you're there on the front row to enjoy it.

Or maybe you don't. Maybe you just make a point of popping in whenever and you don't worry about deviating from your normal routines for something as silly as an in-game moment. Let us know either way! Do you set aside evenings for special game events? Or do you think the very idea is ridiculous? If you've set aside evenings in the past, either alone or with friends, what did you do to celebrate?

I took a 2 week vacation to stay at home and relax that just happened to coincide with the launch of Rift... Looking back now I think that may have contributed to how quickly I got bored with the game.

But yeah, if something big is going down, it's not uncommon for me to plan my day accordingly.
