So with the clock winding down, and everyone getting anxious, what are you doing to pass the time before you leave the house to go stand in line for hours. I'm watching all the official MW2 videos again and playing my goodbye matches in COD4. I leave the house at 7 to stand in line for 5 hours. WOOT!

" @DOUBLESHOCK said:why is that! that's no fun. I've got it preloaded on Steam but they won't let me play it lol... "" my countdown says 3 days and 6 hours "Mine says 11 days >_> "
What sucks even more is that Wednesday I have the day off, and it's supposed to be raining. So basically, I'm going to be sitting at home doing nothing while everyone enjoys MW. FML
I have class tomorrow morning but when I get home my copy should be at my house. I'm only going to use a pistol, in both the single and multiplayer. Because I am a "real" gamer.
" I'm going to sleep, so I can play after I get it at midnight! Makes the time go by quick too :) "now thats a good idea! just dont over sleep
" It's just a game... "In case you haven't noticed, we take games seriously here on Giant Bomb.
" C'mon..where are all the midnight release people at! "I am.. and I'm not looking forward to it. Not only that but I'll probably be there 5 hours early because I have to be near the front. Going with some friends so its all worth it though.
Well I have Wednesday off school so I'm just going to pick it up on Tuesday after school. And probably play it nonstop for a very long time.
Yeah, I'm just going to head out to the least trafficked Gamestop around here at 11. Hopefully it won't be too much of a mad house.
I made the mistake of going to the really busy mall around here for the Halo 3 launch. Now that was a line!
The delivery dudes around here usually don't get out my way til around 5p.m. so I will likely be doing as much of my school work as possible between now and then so I will have that much less to worry about this week and more time to play the game. That said, a really bad storm is supposed to be out this way tomorrow around that same time so who knows if I will even get the game tomorrow lol.
" C'mon..where are all the midnight release people at! "The GayNTrade I work at...errr PlayNTrade, is hosting a midnight launch event and I'm pretty thankful that I'm not working the shift until 1 AM tonight dealing with all the snots who didn't preorder it and now can't get a copy on release day because 95% of our entire 200 copy allocation has been preordered.
Either way I'm going to drift off into a soft slumber tonight dreaming of messing up foo's with a SCAR...and then pick my pre-ordered copy up in the morning. I might try a midnight launch one of these days though, maybe for Modern Warfare 3? Who knows.
" @b_radt007 said:There isn't any review from a big reviewer that's going to hit before 12 AM, so you may as well pick the game up first and read the review after. Activision really are brilliant, aren't they?" I'm going to sleep, so I can play after I get it at midnight! Makes the time go by quick too :) "That's a good idea, I was thinking about that too but I heard GB is going to release a review for MW2. Hmm... which one should I do... Sleep or watch review. =/ "
" @raynate2022 said:Hmm, didn't know gay people were a commodity." C'mon..where are all the midnight release people at!

I'm attending my first midnight launch for it tonight, not sure what to expect. Wait, yes I do. I live in a college town, so frat boys galore.
As for frat boys, again, I'm quite happy I'm not working tonight because half of our town's hockey team plans on breaking their curfew to camp out till 12AM in front of the story because they didn't have preorders.
DOH.
you know what i'm going to be doing all day today and tomorrow? Boosting achievement points, may pick up mw2 early next year

I'm uncertain if they're open during the midnight. Not sure how it's going to work because its EB Games in a mall, which basically means the mall has to be open, right?
I feel bad for you guys. While you are getting the game at midnight I'm going to be sitting at a desk at work keying addresses. Sorry, but you can't all be as lucky as me.
" @Meteora: I remember a Halo 3 midnight launch in Toronto at an EB Games in a mall happened, all they did was usher people to line up and down the mall corridor, seemed to work pretty well. It also depends on whether or not the mall decides they want to let the store do such a thing. Phone maybe? "Yeah I was thinking about giving a call, but I think its pretty redundant to do it anyways. I'm still going to go to school and don't think waiting in a long line up is going to be worth it. Though it might be a pretty cool experience, I wouldn't do it unless my schedule lets me.
I have it here! Right now! Right in front of my laptop!
The reason I'm not playing it now is because I have to wait for Charlie fucking Boorman to finish babbling before I get the TV.
The midnight queue was a great laugh. Lots of talk of shooting dudes in the face. Much pointing and laughing at the DS version. I proposed a gun for the full game that fires DS copies at unfortunate opponents.
This seemed to go down well.
Fuck off, Charlie Boorman.
UPDATE: Charlie Boorman has yet to fuck off.
