^^^DAMN!! THAT SOUNDS CRAZY! never heard of that one before


Yeah, it was crazy. Best night of my life :) Not because of the video game though it helped, but because of the party and all my friends, and how everything happened. Crazy Party, all nighter, slept all the next day, and everyone gamer or not, was affected in some way. It was great :)

I will do the same thing I did with Halo 2. Go to the store after school and get Halo 2 (wich game with a free mini Halo 1 toy!) I might go to the same store if they are giving away something else.

I picked up Halo 2 after school on launch day, but a few of my friends went to the midnight release and said it was a lot of fun so I'll probably go to that this time for the experience, Id be patient enough to wait for the game for another day lol.

Oh I think you hurt my feelings with that one....

Why are we geeks? Because we like to have fun? I also should remind you, you're here too. And why ruin a perfectly good thread?

Anyway, on topic.

I already have a masterplan for making midnight madness for Halo 3 perfect... *evil grin* Who wants to hear it? :P

Heh, I get the easy route. My store(a non Gamestop entity) will probably do the midnight sale, and if it's like Halo 2, we'll get them in about 7pm the day before the real release date.
I'll snag my copy, and use my status as manager to strong arm one of my lesser employees into working while I go home and play it.

Some places are allowing you to Pre-Order Halo 3 right now, but I don't recommend it until we get a solid release date.

Lol! Ok. Here is my Master plan. I got this idea from something I saw before. When me and my friend are getting our copies of Halo 3, or even better, working at EB. We ( I am) are going to yell, "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! We have ONE Copy of Halo 3!" and wave around the copy and run like hell :P This'll be a fun after party :)

Thats why you gotta get there early. I was there at 6:00 because I had(wanted) to help EB set up. My friend got there at 7:00. The mall closed at 8:00. And there were people who were in the mall, walked out at 8:00, and just sat out front until midnight. Mind you, it was snowing, and was freezing cold, so they were pretty dedicated :P Me and a few of the guys from EB acctually went and bugged them every so often. They'd be sitting at the door, and we'd be right inside staring at them through the window.

Our first Halo 2 game was in EB, and guess what? I won my first game! Yay!

People really started getting there at 10:00. By 11:00 the line was massive. We let people into the mall to line up at EBs doors at 11:30 so not to be cruel and make all of them freeze. Still, only about a quarter of the people were in the mall. And I should mention, that EB was downstairs and on the other side of the mall. So needless to say, their were a lot of people.

We finnally opened EBs doors at midnight, and let people get their copy. Then me and my friend invited a few people to play on one of the various LANs we had set up in the Food Court. Our first 16 player game was on that day... it was Free for All Slayer Fiesta, 100 kills, on Ivory Tower. My friend won with 100, and I was right behind him with 99. The person in 3rd had 76, and the next person after that had 42. Then they were all 35 and below. Funny thing was, me and my friend both charged at each other. I had sword, and I saw him, he had pistol. He was backing up... acting like he was scared, and then as I got close enough, he pulls out a Rocket Launcher and blows me away before I have a chance to dodge. It was a really good night.

(Holy Crap... all my posts are turning into stories of that night >.< It was so much fun)

whoaa whoa didnt mean to offend u there, didnt reallly mean it that way, of course it doesnt mean ur a TRUE halo fan but i was just saying, u stay up for the release and ur a diehard fan!
sry if that offnded u or somethin haha


Waiting outside for hours while hundreds shuffle into a game story doesn't even mean you will get a copy. You could end up getting the shaft, I'll just pre-order it and have it at three pm for sure, you know...

  • 07.09.2006 12:21 AM PDT

Hated by many, confronted by none.

I will murder my way through the queues in the shop and get my own Halo 3 before anyone else...HAHAHAHA

Or maybe I'll just pre-order...hmmm...
