1898- The Philippines declare their independence from Spain.
1929- Anne Frank is born.
1970- Pittsburg Pirates pitcher Dock Ellis throws a no-hitter against the San Diego Pirates while under the influence of LSD.
1988- I am born.
2008- Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots comes out.
That's a pretty kick-ass birthday present, if I may gloat.
Anyway, the point of this post is not only to pat myself on the back for having one of my favorite games come out on my birthday (maybe Anne Frank would've liked it too). Does anybody have any info about pre-orders for the MGS PS3 bundle? Last I checked, Gamestop was not taking orders, and I don't really want to camp out for it (not that I wouldn't). Also, are the rumors true, and the gun-metal special edition PS3 is coming out here, too? Any help is greatly appreciated, so I can spend my birthday in style- sitting by myself, playing a video game.
Playing MGO totally ruined the (sorta) excitement I had for that game. I'll probably get it anyway when the massive flood of "omfg gotfy" comes around.

I stopped playing the MGO beta because I played it way too much. So, I want to stay excited about more than just MGS4.

MGO beta was garbage. It did get me excited to play as Snake though.
I like anne frank.
Excellent birthday present is excellent
