Have you ever gone to a midnight launch party to be one of the first to buy a game?

I have only gone to a launch party for one game: modern warfare 2

Just me and about 1/4 of the human population, and my dad.

Yes, I'm 14 years of age.

We were at the gamestop of our local mall, and I was wearing my army uniform that I got for a present, and there were about 50 other people waiting in line.

The REAL U.S. army was there printing free dogtags for people while they waited.

The staff was handing out free [i/]Monster[/i] energy shots, posters, and signed game cases, but to get those, the drill sergeant that was there had us answer questions, run laps, and do push ups.

I answered one question that I was surprised that nobody knew:

"what war was the original Call of Duty set in?"

I also ran 30 laps around the food court, just to kill time.

Never been to a midnight launch party. I like to sleep, then buy it the next afternoon.

Halo 3.

After I braved that, I vowed never to go to another midnight release again.

I got it at a gamestop in Chicago, and I'm actually suprised no one got shot.

No, my dad usually orders them to his store the day before... He has connections. *Boasts*

I wish I had gone now and I have never gone to a midnight launch party. I wanted to go for Halo 2, but I was a bit young at the time and nobody would go with me.

I did GTA IV only because I had 2 friends over who wanted to play it as well, and Gears of War 2 because a gamestop friend got it to me a few hours early. Other than that? ...Hm...

Oh Borderlands.

Midnight releases are early for me, I'm in bed by 4 or 5 usually so hardly a big deal.

I went the the halo 3 launch party at my local Gamestop. But i didn't buy, or have a copy reserved. I just went because my friend did. He got the Heroic Pack. And i played Halo 2 on a huge tv. It was kinda kool. They had trivia about stupid multiplayer shit for prize t-shirts. If only they'd asked me about the Non-frat boy parts of the game. Damn teenagers.

Because of Monster?

I hate Monster!

It tastes like the putrid liquid left at the bottom of a garbage can.

Nope. Although unless it was something really worth playing I would consider it. Maybe HL2: Episode 3 if it's during the summer. Even then I'll probably get it off steam.

WoW:TBC, didn't get much sleep that night... so many people trying to kill so few quest relevant mobs.

No and I never will.
I like games, just not enough to queue up in a town where I'm likely to get shot. Possibly.

Nope. I can wait. I can wait for months after the game. It doesn't matter to me

Except for TES:V. I will totally go to that launch.

Ah the sweet taste of Monster. I am addicted to energy drinks. Rockstar, Redbull, Monster are my top three.

Whatever you say.

I'll just stick with Dr.Pepper.

The cool drink for attractive people.

Well, the U.S. army was there.

Although, they were standing outside of the mall(except for the drill sergeant, she was handing out prizes).

And they didn't have any weapons

And they were just the trainees(except for the drill sergeant).

And there were only 3 of them.

You know what?

We would have been screwed if someone pulled a gun.

If that happened, we would just have to hope that, after the person took the money and the games, that he didn't shoot the clerk in the leg for no reason.

:( Self esteem down the drain ; ;
Then you should start drinking Dr.Pepper.

It's got 23 delicious flavors.

But enough sounding like a commercial, let's go to a commercial.
