Getting Into Gaming

Hmmm so no thoughts on game release nights?

Eh, not really, personally. I generally go to midnight releases if a game I'm picking up has one (much of the time they don't), but mostly because I'm up that late consistently anyway. I just show up right before midnight - shorter to wait in line from the back from right before it starts moving than to show up earlier and wait a while until midnight rolls around.

Only remarkable one was when I went to a midnight release for Super Smash Brothers Brawl, where they were also holding a tournament for it. Unfortunately since they were using a control scheme nobody knew at the time (the Wiimote + Nunchuk), everybody was basically just flailing around at random during that. Kinda fun to watch though. I ended up with a lucky win in my first match in a sudden death round, then got knocked out in my second. And unfortunately, once you lost, you had to wait outside in line until midnight hit. That part kinda sucked, since it was a rather cold night...
