Remember the days of pre 2008 'all nighter feasting' midnight launch events?
So Monhun World comes out tonight and for my circle of friends thats basically a national holiday when one of those games comes out. Everyones off work and the plan is a long time playing till the wee hours.
It reminded me of back in the day when you would see the people that treated such an event like watching the superbowl. Posting photos online of stacks of cans of energy drinks, pizzas, hot pockets, chips of all varietys which always seemed odd in a 'pass the controller bro' setting. It feels like after "Im such a nerd xDDDD" culture moved in and metastasized it vanished nearly overnight and nobody noticed.
I don't think my health would miss it much but its kind of tempting to just get some dr peppers, order in a pizza or kebab and have some snacks on hand like the good old days. But thats really just being a greedy piece of shit.
When is the last time you prepared a feast for a midnight launch?

They all seem to launch at some gay-ass time like 6pm nowadays. Probably because normalfags don't take days off work to game, so now everyone has to wait for half a day on them.

I don't remember the last time I did anything special for a game launch. I think I stood in line for Halo 3's release but that was just because some of my casual friends were there; I didn't have an Xbox and didn't play on consoles.
The only times we ever did "all nighter feasts" with a bunch of junk food was at LAN parties. Everybody would bring sodas and snacks and a bunch of other horrible shit and we'd play games from noon to noon the next day.

My best midnight launch was for Wrath of the Lich King. It was late in the year during the coldest winter on record. Rivers frozen solid, car pile ups every day. By the time i got to the mall 15 miles away the car door was semi frozen shut. We walked through a pitch black mall to a single lit up Gamestation and got a bunch of free stuff and warm food. Got home frozen and put in the install disks -yes wrath was that long ago- and cooked everyone a warm steak and root veggie stew and warmed up some crusty bread to enjoy before exploring a frozen new contintent in game.
Exansion was a bit too easy and kind of got long in the tooth but man that was a great midnight launch.

A guy I knew in college tried to do this. It was primarily a tabletop gaming store but he also sold stuff like graphics cards. His business plan was not sufficiently focused and his market research was lacking. It folded within 2 years.
I'm not saying it's not doable, but you have to make sure you know the area you're opening the store in. Demographics research is extremely important. You have to be sure there are enough people in your targeted age range in your immediate area. Even then it's difficult for this sort of store because the comic and board game industries are struggling, and selling video games isn't easy when you have services like Steam and only-online games like DotA taking up so much of the market.
