As for why no midnight launch? Because sleep passes seeminly instantly for me, and everyone, so i will go to sleep on 11/10/11 and wake up 11/11/11, hop in my cr, and go get the game. By doing so, I avoid any lines, miss nothing, and don't look like the 5-10 weirdos sitting out in front of a store late at night. If it were actually something big, like (god save us) a new iPhone, or Xbox, then sure, i can see that, but a videogame? really?
That's what I thought. I went to my local GameStop the day of Black Ops release, at about 12 P.M., and there was a line out the door.
And everyone, my heart literally just dropped in my chest. I forgot that I'm going to college, getting an apartment, and a job when I move to Knoxville in a couple of months. I was planning on doing what I did for Fable III, which was:
1. Play Fable II until about midnight
2. Wake up at 10 A.M., get ready, eat breakfast, and head to GameStop
3. Return back home, game in hand, and play it until the next morning
If I could do that with Fable III, I'm scared to imagine what I could do with Skyrim.
