Until the lions have their own historians, the history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.
i am not kidding when i say that everyone there was like 300 pounds and STINKY. i never knew a person could actually smell funky but it is possible. but i guess the real loser is me for going to a midnight release :ssh:

I've hit a midnight release for Sonic Generations (because a friend preordered it and I was awake anyway) and Mass Effect 2 (I was naive, but don't regret it) and both times there were like 2 fat people and the rest of the several dozen people were just normal and didn't smell at all.

Your town is stinky and fat I guess

wii release was so much dang fun. It turned into an impromtu potlock as more people who came just kept bringing food and drink to share. I was at a store that didn't open at midnight so some assholes who went to one that did drove by with their wii held out of the window. Shithead dropped it, too funny.

I sat outside a Target all night with my friend. There were like fifty people in line and then they only let twenty people buy them.

same except once they saw the line get pretty big they came and counted it off and told people they weren't going to be able to get one.

they also re-heated stale popcorn from the night before and gave it to us.

i went to a couple of these. one was for diablo 3 and the guy next to me in line could not stop trying to tell me how much he wanted to rape this and rape that and how the demon hunter totally rapes and rape rape rape. dude seriously could not go a single sentence without saying it. then i got home and the servers were broken anyways (also the game sucked)

might do it again at some point, i dunno. only spent around 10 mins in line each time and i'm often awake at midnight. i almost never buy physical copies of games though

Guys, I went to a gamestop in the dead of night to pick up the latest Dragon Age and, get this: there were people there that looked like they've never had a stable relationship with a woman.

I went to the midnight release of Smash 3ds and hosted a public game on the demo so I could scream trash talk at the children/teenagers there while I waited.

No regrets.

i went to the skyrim midnight release

the obese but generally amiable/hygenic cashier from gamestop dressed like a dragon and wandered into the adjacent buffalo wild wings and bothered the customers while we were waiting.

that's my story regarding midnight releases

Somebody at a midnight release called me an rear end in a top hat because I wouldn't do the survey that the gamestop people wanted us to do.

Ever since they worked on that project together, her life turned around and became more exciting.
I went to the Call of Duty black ops 2 midnight launch and there were guys standing outside the store drinking bud light and everyone was talking about how they don't think the game is going to be very good but it is going to have zombies so they have to buy it
