You son of a bitch!

BahamutZERO

105145 vs 105146, I win Rolo!

Olivaw

AND IT'S BAHAMUT BY A NOSE

PikaPuff

Another line comic. this is like, the 5th one they've done in their 10+ years of running.

BahamutZERO

The closest thing to a midnight launch I've ever been to was getting in line to get a Wii early in the morning before the store opened.

HyperAquaBlast

This one wins.

Lame comic though.

FF

Goin' with Bahamut. Same team man, same team (East Bay).

Also, squarejaw.

Olivaw

It's weird seeing Tycho in profile

We don't see that too often

PikaPuff

I notice that people who buy MW2 are all giant chinned

BahamutZERO

Hey Rolo since I refuse to dignify your thread with a response I'll ask here: what the fuck is going on in your sig?

Staleghoti

Bahzooom

BusterK

Never gone to a midnight launch for a video game

I have gone to Ralph's at midnight to buy a Harry Potter book
And went super early in the morning to get a Wii Fit
And those were both for my wife.

HyperAquaBlast

I did the Halo 2 midnight launch. The guys who were supposed to open the store tripped the alarm and the police and fire department came.

It was 1 something by the time they started selling the games and it almost seemed soup kitchenish.

I then went to 7-11 and got my Halo slurpee cup while I put Halo 2 into my Halo xbox with the Halo 2 Master Chief action figure sitting next to it with my Halo 2 soundtrack playing in the background. I don't even like Halo.

PikaPuff

I remember now. Last midnight launch I went to was for Brawl.

BahamutZERO

Man, Brawl was fun for a while but there really hasn't been much else for the Wii since then, has there. Just, like, Wii Fit.

I was going to say this.

The resemblance is uncanny.

All he needs is a cigarette.

gogo comic edit.

*edit*

jesus, the first panel even has the silhouettes.... total Doonesbury homage!

Barcardi

People still go for midnight releases?

Dynagrip

I've never gone to a midnight launch...or a midnight opening for a movie (I think). Waiting a day or two extra isn't that big of a deal.

Hello Waterface

Ugliest. Tycho. Ever.

Good call on the Doonesbury resemblance!

I did that. It was actually meant to be a surprise present for me from my wife, but some people were askng me where to find a Wii and everything, and what times the stores open and everything, and those people already had Wiis or did not play vidja games, so it was kind of obvious. I guess those people thought it wasn't meant as a surprise.

The one "young adult" rock station around here is constantly blathering about launch parties. Ugh. Gamers.

Dog

The closest thing to a midnight launch I've ever been to was getting my WoW:TBC cd key two weeks before release and going to outlands at 11:59, getting hundreds of angry messages from west coasters.

Crashmo

I can't remember ever going to a midnight game release

Maybe for The Burning Crusade?

Camping out for the Wii was fun, though I could've arrived ~6 hours later and still gotten one of the 20 seats.

Darkness Mundus

Wrath. I'd say that upped my nerd factor by at least 5. I'll pass on that next time.

JustinSane07

I can't unsee the Doonesbury thing now.

MagicPrime

I went to a midnight release for Metal Gear Solid 4, but that was so I could get my 80gig PS3 Bundle.

The store only had 2 of them with their shipment. Three people showed up for one.

Luckily I had already bought mine in full a few days earlier.

Fearghaill

and justice is served.

DMAC

I sat in line for something like 10 hours for tickets to Star Wars Episode I. I would probably not do that again. It also turned out to be kind of pointless because the megaplex was showing it about every 10 minutes or so in different theaters the first week so there was no shortage of tickets to be had.

I also went to a Toys R Us the first day the PS2 was available and was not aware at that point that preordering was a thing. They only had about 10 systems that weren't preorders so they were doing trivia questions to choose who could buy them. It was really poorly organized, they were just reading the questions to this group of about 50-60 people and whoever raised their hand (and got noticed) first got to answer the question. I decided to just go for it and was able to jump around and wave my hand enough to get to answer a question and buy a system. I think the question involved knowing that Mel Gibson was the voice of Captain John Smith in Disney's Pocahontas.

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog at the line for the Episode II premiere is one of the best things that has ever aired on a Conan O'Brien related show.

MagicPrime

I do midnight movies a lot.

The theater in town is pretty good with offering midnight showings of premiere movies.

UnbreakableVow

I think the only movie I've done a midnight showing for is Spider-Man 2.

Yeah they're really beating the shit out of a dead horse here with these .5 line comics per year.

Koshian

I went to the midnight showing of spider-man 3

it was awesome

Yeah. I wasn't in costume or anything. I think I just brought a book and sat there. The only thing that sucked is that I had gone alone to get tickets for myself and my friends so I had to rely on my "neighbors" in line to hold my place when I needed to get a drink or go to the bathroom.

Crashmo

I went to the midnight showing of Star Trek with my dad, stepmom, wife, and her parents.

It was fun, mostly because the movie and the theatre we went to were rad.

Abracadaniel

I went to SW Ep 1 with my plastic lightsaber, then drove straight to work at 4am.

JC of DI

Went to The Dark Knight at midnight, and also picked up GTA IV at midnight since I was working a late-evening job at the time anyway.
