Who Is Going To Their Local Gamestop Tonight At Midnight To Get ODST?

THIS GUY IS!!!

Yes, I am going to go get my preordered copy of Halo 3: ODST tonight at midnight when my friendly neighborhood Gamestop re-opens for the big release extravaganza. I figured, hey, why not? I have never been to a store at midnight for an album release party, or to get 1st row concert tickets, or gotten that first copy of the game that I wanted (Standing in line to see the midnight showing of a Star Wars movie doesn't count. Everybody did that, right? ...RIGHT???). So now, as someone who is a gamer that just crossed into the 40-and-over demographic, with disposable income to make it happen, and as a youth never did the midnight release party thing... I'm going to go and report back on how it was. Do I really need to do this? Will I play the game at 12:05 am when I get back home??

HELL NO! I'm going to bed. We oldsters have to get solid sleep or else we can't function at our JOBS. But it will be there for me on Tuesday when I get home from said WORK and I can fire it up as soon as I consume some gaming fuel like pasta or half a loaf of bread and a pound of butter. You need your carbs before starting a marathon gaming session. Keeps you sharp. That and the bottle of Tennessee Whisky that is used to wash it all down...

Recap of how it went tomorrow... Gameplay thoughts on Wednesday (official review on HaloFriday.com). Wish me luck!!!
