My Madden 2008 Experience This entry was posted on Tuesday, August 14, 2007 12:46 PM and is filed under Technology,Madden 2008,football,video games,Sports. Unless you live under a rock…. I take that back…if you are into video games, you probably know that Madden 2008 came out this morning at midnight. So you ask, “Who really goes to Game Stop at midnight to get a video game?” Well, being the enabler that I am *wink*, I went to Game Stop with ***** (he has asked that his identity remain private in fear of embarrassment lol—just kidding).
So, I was kinda salty (and full of wine) on the way to Game Stop because after a long, ghetto experience at UPS, I finally got Boogie for my WII, which SUCKS. So the thought of another video game wasn’t all the exciting to me… at first. Anyways, we make a bet on our way to pick up Madden about how many people we think will be waiting in line to get this game. I estimated 10. I mean really, who stands in line at midnight during the week, to get a video game? ***** estimated 20 or 25 which to me just seemed way off. Well we were both wrong, but I was really off because there had to be at least 50 people waiting in line and while we stood in line, cars kept pulling up and people kept piling onto the end of the line! So we get to the line and Game Stop was giving out “gift bags” that included an energy drink and AXE… I have to admit, that cracked me up. Talk about giving people a reason to stay up all night playing Madden and to not shower the next day. Yuck.
I have never seen such an interesting mix of men standing in line, at midnight, for a video game. Young, old, black, white and I even saw another woman who was there too enabling her man. People were really excited about getting this game and I guess if there was a new purse or pair of shoes coming out at midnight, I would be there to buy them too.
It was just a funny experience. I was really expecting to see some fighting or something but no, just a bunch of dudes waiting in line, past midnight, to get a damn video game. Wow. Just thought I’d shared a random piece of my life :o).
