Im going to a midnight release for the first time on Thursday...
behave like charles manson
>HEY IM GRUMP
Fuck you, I thought the same thing
>what to expect
Depends on the game
Last release I went to was a bunch of autists who could barely talk. I couldn't talk though since I was dressed as a homeless guy with 2 jackets 2 shirts and sweatpants on due to it being 20 degress.
>how do I behave
Like a regular human bean? Just stand there smoke a few cigarettes and blow them in the face of anyone who tries talking to you.
>going to the midnight release for Infinite Memefare
yep, cant wait
You ever waiting for a store to open during the day?
It's like that, but at night.
No, never done that
It gonna stink
Ok, here's what you do.
You stand around and wait, check your phone, try not to stare at the only girl there, pick up the game, go home, masturbate to the only girl that was there.
Can I get rowdy excited etcc..?

Midnight releases are terrible. Last one I went to was for Fallout 4, waited in some back room with no internet access in a closed mall for 3 hours. There was maybe 50 people there max and for some reason it took that long for 3 employees to look at their receipt, grab a game and hand it to them. Couldn't leave or you'd lose your spot in line, gamestop wanks who paid the $20 fucking dollars for the bonus card got in early and anytime I tried to speak to someone to pass the time they'd sperg out or act too good to speak with me. Then I got home and played it.
What a waste of 3 hours and $90.
This
Also the crowd will be 80 percent kids below the age of 17
Last midnight release I went to was for Halo ODST at a GameStop. It was a bunch of people standing around in the cold talking about how excited they were, with most people only talking to the friends they came with. There was a little set of tvs and Xboxes set up to play Halo 3 multiplayer. This Monster energy drink van came by and these cute girls handed out free drinks to everyone before leaving almost as fast as they got there. About 10 minutes before midnight, the store guys had everyone line up, with people that ordered the special editions at the front. Then everyone was let into the store to pay 1 person at a time and got their game. The end. Overall, fun with friends in high school, but definitely not something I'd do now.
Only if you want to look like a massive fuckhead to 90% of the people, the other 10% of people are fucking loving the spectacle of some autist being super hyped about Call of Duty
best buy is better for midnight releases, they open the store and let you come in and get out. Gamestop makes you wait in a line outside in the cold while 2 employees let 2 people in the store at once
Midnight releases are stupid. Where I am people will show up 2-3 hours early just to be first in line when the line clears out in 10-15 min at most. I just show up at 12:05pm and walk right through to pick up my game.
OP, you should get drunk before you go. It will make things more enjoyable for everyone.
>tfw this is literally what happened for my only midnight release (black ops)
No regrets, would fap to again.
I might we have a b dubz right across from best buy and thursdsy is half off boneless wings
>be at fallout 4 midnight launch with gf
>she's in some gay ass vault girl costume
>I'm not even getting the game
>just there to carry the 2 collectors meme editions she bought
>waiting in line while she dicks about so that this is over faster
>line isn't that bad I'm next to quiet neckbeards who just want to look at their phones
>staff are giving cokes and cookies to people in line
>a problem glasses wearing sack of lard is doing interviews, asking dumb questions
>I'm near the front so the hamplanet doing interviews comes up
>"Are you excited to pick up your Fallout 4? What are you looking forward to the most? What's your fondest memory of Fallout?"
>I'm not getting the game sorry. I'm just in line for the free drinks and cookies. I'm yet to receive a cookie though.
>My fondest memory would have to be when my friend played New Vegas before 3 and thought 3 was just a shitty rehash.
>I'm really looking forward to that cookie, It looks like they've iced vault boy onto it. That's so cringey.
I was asked to leave for not having any receipts to pick up the game on me. My gf came back and gave me the receipts so I could stay in line like the little cuck I am.
It was a great night, I got 3 cans of coke in total.
