Apparently not.



It's raining and i have work tomorrow.


This was going to be my first midnight launch since picking up a gamecube. I thought GTAIV would be the one to pull me back into rabid gaming. Spending ridiculous amounts to get a game day one. Walking to every store in the city on the hope that someone will sell it to me early... "Break the release date dammit, i need my gaming fix."

Nope, turns out once you go through that period through college where you need to give games a break, you come out a different man. One that doesn't really care whether or not you get the game on the very first day it comes out, practicing the multiplayer before the servers are rapant with american kids who are ridiculously better than you.

Maybe I'm getting old, or maybe GTAIV will still be the same game tomorrow and it's just not worth getting a cold for.


Hmm, then again i may take the day work off on Wednesday. I'm still a gamer after all.

Not only would I walk in the rain...But I would run in it. proven by MYTHBUSTERS to be more inefficient than walking in the rain.

...I'd also probably do a donkey show.

Yea, it's that bad.
If given the choice to pick up the game at midnight I would, but I'm being forced to wait by default.
I Amazoned mine so I'm waiting. I'll just play Lost Odyssey until then.
I wouldn't but I don't want GTA4 to begin with. Last midnight launch was for Smash and before that...I can't remember. I don't do midnight launches as much as taking off work for games.
Oh I'm going, and I gotta get up at 6am and watch a 8 month old baby for 11 hours... hopefully Holiday has a deal on Monster BFC.
My wife got me a preorder with my 360 for my birthday, and she's down for the midnight launch. I . .. hey wait. I've never done a midnight launch before! The ones I thought i did were just for Madden, and those always came out the day before, when they actually arrived in store on that Monday.

yeah, I'm probably way too old for the midnight release crowd, and I'm sure my wife will be pretty pissed by the time I pickup my copy (she's not a fan of, you know, people). But I'm definitely excited about everything it sounds and looks like Rockstar is bringing to the table this time.
I think I'm going to go to bed when I get home so I can get up at 11:30pm and drive to go get GTA.....I think
I'll be running through the rain as well...
