I stuff my face with skittles until I'm sick, grab some water, and jump straight into documentation + source editing.
Dorrito's
I have many things I may do before I code. Grab a snack. A soda perhaps. Take a nap. Put it off for a week or two. Perhaps even put it off for a month or so.
Before I start coding usually, I grab a Mountain Dew or 2. Turn on some music and I code whatever.
Kill a few babies in sacrifice to an occult power, drink the blood of virgins, orgies, ect...
If I'm try to code in assembler I take a massive shit beforehand so I don't have to get up for hours.
Interesting. I just do it on the fly. Even if its going to be a long 5-10 hour session, I don't really do any preparation at all.

*gasp* my twin!
however i di normal put on some music
The only precondition that I need is not being hungry. :3 I put on music only when I need to isolate my mind from the outside so I can focus on the code.
It's funny, I use my music as a break. I start out with complete silence, then when I start getting distracted/tired, I turn on the music for around 30 minutes while coding. I somehow feel better and code faster afterwards.
I can "just code," but if I want to go into a six-hour session I usually want to feel like crap so that I can be aggressive with it.
lol i dont really do anything to prep either i usually play my music any time im on my pc unless im watching vids
I normally watch a few videos to get me in the moo-
Oh wait scripting...
I turn on some heavy hardcore J-Pop. Yeaaaaaaaah!

I think he does that to make himself go deaf so he doesn't get distracted while coding.
I mysrlf prepare myself for coding by burning down some govermental buildings and slaughterhouses and afterwards just kill some nazis. This just gets me in the perfect mood for scripting a few thousand lines in ruby.

xD I was kidding Dio. I haven't listened to J-Pop since Aqua made me listen to Wonder Girls. I mean they were kinda
good but I def don't listen to them when scripting :P
I open up the programs, then watch an episode of deathnote (helps me get into the coding mindset, for some reason). THen I grab a box of crackers and a bag of pretzels, turn on some JPop (helps me concentrate on coding) and start coding away.

They're K-Pop. D:
Ohhh :O
Then what's J-Pop? :huh:
Japanese Pop.
I know it's Japanese Pop. But like I want him to link me to some good J-Pop. :P
Back on topic, I must admit that in order to make any noticeable progress on my 3rd person camera, I had to sit down with some paper and work it out. So I guess I use paper if I have to solve mathematically or logically complex problems. On the other hand, I just wrote the whole save data structure with no preparation whatsoever.
Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgObuO3mrT8)
Amazing song. Kinda typical, but awesome at the same time.
Melt 3M Mix (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z86TX02NVmg)
Really popular song, but fucking great.
PianoxFortexScandal (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BR5F11wQqU)
Jazzy song with a super sexy voice.

Remake of disillusion, an amazing song to begin with.
These are all musics I use for all purpose pumping up.
