I waited in line 5 hours on thursday. I was 9th in line, played within half an hour.
By hour 4 the line had grown desperate and tried to play Project M through a capture card into a laptop. The lag was devastating but the line held strong.
I went to the midnight release of rock band 3 since I got off work at 11 and the store was on the way home
A young man said the following phrase to me, completely unprompted
"The Internet: brought to you by Satan. Satan: brought to you by mayonnaise. Mayonnaise: brought to you by the Internet."
Today I was hoping to at least strike up some conversations with people in line but in front of me there is a crotchety old man supervising his children who clearly has utter contempt for everyone else here and behind me is a group of shitty ass teenagers being shitty ass teenagers
I went to the midnight release of ac4 since I had never done it before and wanted to see what it was like
I think I will continue not going to midnight releases and just buying it the day after or ordering online
This is me exactly but with Mass Effect 3
I had a dude regale me with the tale of how this one time his totally hot female friend had him over to help with computer stuff and they totally had sex
I mean, going to a midnight release of a movie is usually fun. My girlfriend was in line with a lot of like-minded Harry Potter fans to see the last movie, and I joined her, and that was really fun! Just a bunch of people who share this interest hanging out, dressing up, excited to see this movie. I feel like that's how a video game release should go, except that people who play video games are apparently terrible.
you know I don't think ubisoft has explicitly said that ships aren't coming back for ac unity
the french revolutionary wars did have naval battles
what if arno contracts the legendary assassin warship, the aquila, led by the american mentor ratonhnhake:ton, to secure the coasts of the burgeoning french republic
Who in their right mind would go out in the middle of the night to do an activity with a bunch of strangers where you actually have to interact with them and complete meaningless tasks together and there isn't even any alcohol
Marty: The future, it's where you're going? Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.
I went to the midnight release for Assassin's Creed 3/Need for Speed Most Wanted and I was almost certain I was the only person there who had showered that day
I'm afraid I would actually die by smells at a PAX

PAX East did not assault my nose but I stayed away from the esports booths
I went to a midnight releases of Final Fantasy 13. I didn't want the game but I had friends there, so I waited in line with them and then just left when they got the game.
If I ran a convention there would be hygiene inspectors who'd pull people aside and make them either take a shower on site or leave until they took a shower elsewhere.
People who stink would be turned away and given a brochure on personal hygiene when in public spaces.
I mean, at least take a shower before showing up. I can understand a stink forming in the convention just by the very nature of a lot of people in a small area, but it shouldn't start that way.
I went to the midnight launch for the Wii. Me and my then-girlfriend just played Mario Kart DS with everyone in line. It was pretty cool.
But it was also late November in Toronto so it was also really cold, cold to the point that it affected the refresh on the DS screens on some transitions, which was interesting

When you have a convention where not every attender is rich enough to afford a hotel or other suitable lodging it kind of turns out that way

I don't care. If you can't afford to go to a convention and take a shower or bathing, then your priorities are pretty fucked up by going to the convention anyway. If you're sleeping in your car to get to the convention there are always showers at truckers gas stations.
I've done the crazy sleep in my car to go to this event thing before. I still managed to not smell awful before showing up.

I think you've hit on the root of the problem right there

I stopped going to midnight releases for everything a few years ago because I am old and a father, etc.
But man I remember what an event the Halo 2 release was. The stores around the Gamestop stayed open too, including a Cinnabon and an internet cafe, so people bought Halo 2 then walked over to the internet cafe and started playing multiplayer.
I still lived in the sticks at that time, so I had a 50 minute drive home, listening to the Halo soundtrack. Then Halo 2 was... Halo 2.
in the specific context of "i can sit around my house for 2 hours and do nothing or i can stand around in best buy for two hours and do nothing and then play a little bit of smash bros" then yeah sure

Alternatively, you could be doing anything else.

but I'm spoiled by just downloadin' shit off steam
Fuck associating with random local gamers.
It was rubbish, waited for over an hour and didn't even get the game.

I've never had issues with the people in line. In general I run into cool, nice people that are excited to be there.

make it a $20 xbla game that is literally just more assassin's creed naval missions but within the context of the french revolutionary wars!!

Midnight movies I am totally behind, especially hard genre movies.
But games? I could be doing something to make time to play the game instead of standing in a line.

Griffin McElroy previews Hotline Miami 2
I feel like the news that that game has a level editor was the thing everybody managed to miss at E3

I told you that in confidence, Etch
I trusted you
do they normally "not really" have sex?
That was your first mistake, man
I assume.
