Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

A few years ago, I had the dubious honour of sharing my birthday with the UK launch date of Army of Two: The 40th Day.

This year, however, I may be playing DmC on my birthday, which, haters gonna hate, I'm looking forward to, as a fan of both Bayonetta-style gameplay (yes, I'm aware DMC came first), and Ninja Theory and its sterling work on Enslaved.

What about you lot? Ever had a game (or other popular piece in another entertainment medium) launch on your birthday?

Clockwork Prince or Clockwork Angel came out on my birthday, not sure which one.

I should really change my signature some time.

Hmmm... nah.

Apparently, Gears of War: Judgement is scheduled to release on my birthday. I don't care for the game, though.

I don't know of anything else.

Nahman Jayden, Eff bee eye. I herd that you're the origammy killah...

My birthday is January 1st.

No one ever releases anything on January 1st.

June 30th isn't June usually the dead season of gaming releases?

Dec 28 is on a Friday this year. Nothing gets released anyway.

Ew, my username. :C

I came up with it when I was 10.

Don't know. My birthday is September 4th.

Not in the US, maybe. Our ordinary game releases are on Friday, though.

I just double-checked, and indeed DmC is out on my 23rd. :D

Well you lucky little tea drinker. I would love if a big game release on my Bday, I'd have the whole day for it :D

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Well, time to go Goggle that.

I don't think any were released on my date of birth.

Hmm. Tail-end of December is generally reserved for the likes of HD collections or indie games or sequels to meh new IPs. :/

I don't actually like tea. >_> :P

Please don't hype for games...
They'll just fall short of your expectations and you'll complain for months.

Vanquish launched on my birthday a couple years back.

Just doing a little humorous generalization ;)

Atleast I can get games at a nicely discounted price at this point in the year. I can go pick up the new X-COM for $30 now.

Halo 3 is where the morons of the universe congregates.

I am thinking of an old story. "Three Billy Goats Gruff" (hint the troll dies at the end)

If you had an electron microscope, you still couldn't find the -blam!- I don't give.

Halo 3 came out 5 days before my birthday
