Midnight Release traditions.

[rockytheboxer]

Like many of you, I'm sure, I'm planning on picking up Mass Effect 2 tonight at midnight. What I'd like to know is: do you have any Midnight Release traditions? Stocking up on Red Bulls? Chips? A quick stop to your favorite porn site of choice to make sure there aren't any interruptions? Maybe set up a bed pan for an all nighter?

I don't tend to go to midnight releases, but if I were to, I'd just go out, make sure I'm comfortable in line, bring my PSP so I have something to do while waiting, then go home and play it for the remainder of the day.

YEP always red bull dont bother with bed plan ill sleep as much before as i can coz i know im gonna get home and play it immediatly, else wise its just me some friends energy drinks junk food and yeah fun always with friends.

sleep...see what people say about it tomorrow. Like I always do XD

 

[Pimppeter2]

I usually go to bed, seeing as there is class tomorrow. Damn every release date being a Tuesday.

I sit outside for an hour, maybe only haf an hour.
Last time we were able to go inside and wait, with hot dogs and soda provided while you waited.

 

[Daveman]

why? are you going to play it as soon as you get home? you've waited all this time, what's a few more hours?

 

[Amardor]

Only ever done it once, realised it was stupid when I did it since I could just wait a proper day of sleep then play it later properly and not feeling hung over and like a rusty file is down my throat after consuming so many corrosive energy drinks.

I was only 16 and the game was Halo2. The fact that the game had so many graphical errors before they patched it made the new shine go dull really fast and made getting my ticket at 10pm to return 2 hours later to pick it up at 12am, bloody pointless.

I've never known anyone who went to a midnight launch who's not a complete lifeless nerd.

Gettin it shipped, so I will not be freezing my ass off waiting outside. 'sides if I don't get any sleep I tend to not function so well at school.

 

[BENZOOKA]

I've never done one of these things, it just seems totally pointless. And it's january, and freezing cold. I'll get it the week after, and the game shall be all the sweeter for the wait.

This one. With the "week after" being more like a "month or two later".

 

[Aqualung]

I used to go to midnight releases by filling up on hot cocoa and blasting exciting music to keep myself. Last one I went to was for Modern Warfare 2 to get my nightvision goggles.

However, after being repeatedly harassed with phone numbers by high school students reeking of nerdy angst, I've stopped attending them.

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

Nope. I'm just always up at midnight anyways so I get in my car at 11:50 and drive to gamestop. I never go to midnight launches of big games like halo or CoD though. I hate lines. I can bare waiting for like, 10 minutes for ME2 tonight though.
