Yea.

that's what it was like. I've been to like 4 or 5 midnight launches, and there's always hundreds of people at them, thus you don't even get the game until well after midnight, at which point the whole trip has been worthless.

The most entertaining ones have been the Halo midnight launches, with lots of free food and LAN shit going on.

The worst was Burning Crusade. Jesus christ the people waiting in line for WoW were the most pathetic faggots I've ever seen. Overweight forty-somethings talking about their stupid WoW characters for hours as the line slowly crawled, blowing cigarette smoke into my face, being gay.

Pretty sure I'll never do another one, it's too much hassle.

Dead Space/Far Cry 2 to tide me over until L4D comes out, w00t.
