mon-night-warfare

I plan on heading out to my local Best Buy towards the end of tonight’s Monday Night Football game to pick up Modern Warfare 2. If any of you are grabbing your copy tonight too feel free to comment below and join Dylan, myself, and a few others on Xbox LIVE tonight. Go Steelers!!!!

Update: Just got back from the midnight release at … GameStop. Yes, GameStop. I went to Best Buy first, and apparently, I live next to the only Best Buy in the world that didn’t have a midnight release scheduled. About fifteen of us waited outside Best Buy until one of the associates pried the doors open and  asked “what can I help you with?” I of course responded with “Oh well the group of us figured we would swing by just before midnight to see if you were hiring.”No sorry we aren’t.” she replied.

We were eventually informed that they were not participating in the midnight release so me and my newly formed nerd pack made our way through the connected mall to add ourselves to a fairly lengthy GameStop line.

After waiting in line for about twenty minutes or so, I neared the entrance only to be asked whether or not I had a pre-order. Those of you who have been reading the site for some time now, probably know that I’m not too fond of the GameStop pre-order process (as it bit me in the ass when Gears of War came out), so I obviously had not pre-ordered it with them. Upon informing them, I was instructed to join another line, the “you may be shit out of luck line” for lack of a better name. Luckily, me and the rest of the gamers turned away by Best Buy were able to get our hands on some excess Modern Warfare 2 inventory.

With shiny new game in hand, I hopped in my car and drove it directly to the Wendy’s drive-thru for some late night grub. Sneaking back into my home, while trying to make sure I didn’t wake up my girlfriend, I realized that I still had to catch up on the end of the Steelers Broncos Monday Night Football game. A few fast forwarded commercials, and a late second half scoring spree by the Steelers, was more than the Kyle Orton lead Broncos could handle.

Time to power up the Xbox 360, load up Modern Warfare 2, and kick some multiplayer ass! I’ll be on my account (Darkhieser for those who have yet to add me) with Dylan and the rest of the west coasters joining in as soon as they can.

    I think I may shut off the internet and zip through the single player campaign before anyone spoils it for me. That’s right! I’m talking to you, INTERNET USERS!

    Not me. I’m not even gonna be home long enough tomorrow to play the game, and I’ve got to wake up for classes tomorrow. Also, there’s that whole “not being able to afford the game” thing. I’ll play it eventually… I hope.

    Just finished the game over here in Aus. Kicked in to a MP match just before bed (I know, I shouldn’t be sleeping, but the parents insist) and it looks massively improved. Green connection first go, which is a first for me. No more bugging you yanks with yellow connections :)
