okay first of all are you a hardcore or casual gamer? and have you missed work or skipped school to play a brand new game that just ceme out? like when Halo3/GTA4 came out and ppl lined up missing work/school to buy them.


All the time man, ALL THE TIME.

1.) Halo 2 (Booked DAYS off from work)
2.) Gears of War (Booked the whole Weekend off)
3.) Halo 3 (Booked 5 days off from work, and didn't go to school that week - Had a LAN party at my house for 5 days.
4.) Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (Booked 2 weeks from work. ACTUALLY took a vacation)

5.) Gears of War 2 / Call of Duty: World at War (Already booked Nov 7 and that weekened off. Going to have a LAN Tournament at my place again. I call it - Gaming Nirvana - ) http://www.gaming-nirvana.com

The anticipation of playing a new game after school is worth the wait.

That's not the kind of rebellious attitude that I expect from an administrator of this site.
