Shooting the shit about vidya with friends one guy says he cant wait to take next week off work for vidya.
Asking why he reveals he has once again fallen for the horde vs alliance meme and bought the new WoW expansion. In his words "i'm fucking back in lads". Turns out 'back in' was a mild understatement.
Why is he taking a week off? well remember back in the day when midnight launches were a thing for people other than chads wanting to pose outside game stores with their copies of Fifa and Madden? apparently hes doing the whole hog likes its 2005 again. Taking his one week of holiday he has off from work, locking the doors, shutting the blinds, turning the AC up and living on trash like a fucking raccoon while playing World of Warcraft for a week.
We are calling it his "giving up crisis" but it made me wonder: do any of you still do that shit? either midnight launches or the grotesque feast of simian excess that follows?
or do you know anyone that did and went full "bury me with my alduin statue" from it? i knew a dude that got a clot in his leg after he played oblivion for 72 hours without getting up back in the day.

I've never done a midnight launch at a physical store but definitely done it at home. Like your friend when WotLK came out I basically went full hermit for a few days, although not with all that shit junk food. I can't stand things that are too sugary, how people can drink more than a can of coke in a week I'll never know. Either way, there's nothing wrong with enjoying a video game you've been waiting for for a long time.

My Wrath launch was great because bongland got hit by a freak extreme temperature drop out of nowhere. I had to drive 3 hours across frozen countryside to a store and when i got there the doors were freezing shut.
We got in, got out and by the time we got home it was -4 or 24 degrees to murrcans and shit was all solid ice and we slid into the drive.
I popped my install discs in and threw some premade stew and bread in the oven to warm and we all made death knights, saw the next stop was hellfire and all laughed and said fuck that and jumped on our mains instead and headed to Howling Fjord. Eating warming stew as the window outside was nothing but blizzard hammering the window.
But we didn't spend a week living on sugar like an wasp or something. Hes gonna lose a foot.

Buying anything at launch is gay. At least wait until you can confirm it's good, nowadays you even have to wait for the game to be finished via patches and DLC.
A coworker of mine took off a week to play BotW. Somehow that seems more tasteful than playing WOW, though being so sedentary is degenerate regardless.
That said, I barely have use for my vacation days anyways. I take off the occasional Friday to spend more time playing a game I'm into, but I find it dumb to stay up much later than midnight. I'd rather wake up early and start playing after a good night's rest, it's much more satisfying.

I did a midnight launch for Halo 3. The game store was right next to the liquor store so I sat outside for a couple of hours sipping a bottle of vodka and chain smoking while listening to these 16 year old boomers talk about Halo. There was this one kid who came dressed up like Jesus Christ and was holding a sign with all these bible quotes on it and he spent his night preaching about how Halo was a metaphor for the redemption of mankind through the sacrifice of God's only son, Jesus. Evidently I forgot my bag of booze at the store and the manager drove it over to my house and we ended up playing coop until we passed out.

I was moreso talking about it in a modern context. Personally, though, I didn't have that much experience with what you describe. My father had a Commodore 64 in the late 80s and could copy over tapes for that quite easily, and that's all I had until we got a PC with Win95 in about 97 or so. Sounds implausible, but I was beyond poor. I knew kids who had cheap chinese bootleg NESes with those chink multicarts, but SNESes were nonexistant, handhelds were nonexistant until the GBA, the Genesis was around five hundred bucks converted, and the first remotely affordable console was the PS1, around the time the PS2 launched. Slavland sucked back then.

He was sitting on a shitty collapsible chair they make for fishermen and campers. He had a ton of trash food around him, took some tablets to stop him shitting and ate some MRE's while pissing in a jug and tipping it out the window behind him leaving a brown streak down his white house.
I didn't see him for years after as this was back in secondary school but once in uni saw him in a mcdonalds with a peg leg and shaped like fat albert.

This one was much more interesting in that my close friend was admit about going to the store (It was a starbucks and gamestop) right in the middle of the mall parking lot and "cammpin out" until midnight. He rolled the back of his car up the store and threw down some lawn chairs and said "Time to play some Dragon Quest". We got there around 9am with the store not opening until 11am. The dude who opens kinda laughed and went into the store to start his shift. Next, around 12pm I went and got us some burgers from the food court in the mall and when I got back some cute but clearly weird Asian bitch was talking to my friend. She was the "Administrator of marketing and advertising" for the mall aka she walked around the mall and took pictures for the malls facebook page or some bullshit. So she HAD to have me and my buddy sit there in our Hawaiian shirts looking "nerdy" (her words not ours) for the facebook page. Being the fucking degenerate I am I put on some shitty red and white ducktape helmet my buddy made for a protoman cosplay and sunglasses so the CIA niggers couldn't see my face. She did her thing, my buddy went back to Dragon Quest V for the ds and I biked to work (Closing shift for a kitchen). After work I got off and biked back to the store around 10pm.
I was pretty surprised to see an actual line up around the store, I rolled up to my friend, locked my bike up and sat beside him. I made him and myself some bulky sandwiches from work and asked if any thing happened well I was gone. He looked over at me and said "No, but apparently they only have three collectors editions". At this point I noticed the entire line was staring at us. I yelled out "I am not buying a collectors editions, I am not even sure I am buying the game, calm your mullets". I got no real responses, just some glares and went back to eating. My bud had made chatter with the two other dudes who brought lawn chairs and I could already tell they were fucking special. One was the classic over weight "gamer" who played Amazons and Sorcerers, swore constantly, and had a 12 pack of warm coke cola/ shit loads of Burger King bags. The other guys had a stutter, wore a trench coat, was wearing sunglasses at 10pm and boasted about playing Necromancers 24/7. Not too much came out until midnight was rolling up on the clock. I think ten minutes too, some chad in his jeep rolled by and yelled "fucking nerds get a job" and the only response was the fat gamer dude yelling back "Fuck you John" (I think he knew him). So my bud packed all his stuff into his car well I kept his spot. They guy came to the door and looked at me and said "I saw you cut in line you have to go to the back", I laughed it off and went to the back (probably 50-70 people). Awesome thing was at the back were two fucking cute girls who I SAID FUCKING NOTHING TOO AND STOOD THERE LIKE A BITCH. The line moved really fast, like I was at the store door in 10 minutes or so. I went in, bought the game, and went to my buddies car.
4820c7 No.15274753
This is were the story gets fucking creepy. So the dude in the trench coat needed a ride cause his parents couldn't pick him up. My buddy for some fucking reason agreed to do it. Guy gets in the back, I throw my bike beside him, get in the passenger seat and we take off. As we are driving I being the over social butterfly start talking about work, the two Asian girls and mundane shit. Right during mid conversation, Neclord in the back screeches "I forgot my glasses". My bud ask "The sunglasses", he half yells "YES". My buddy replies "Sorry man, one way trip, I am sure you can get another pair or call the store in the morning". Neclord starts flipping his shit calling us faggots, threatening to sue us, and taking my buddies collectors edition (Neclord had already gotten the other two, yes he bought two and cut the fat gamer dude out). After his rant for about 10 minutes, we tell him we are just going to pull over and let him get out. He refuses. So, again, the smart dudes that we are ask where he is going. He replies "I told you, my parents place". He finally calms down and we agree to drive him the rest of the way. After 20 minutes of semi silence (the dude start making weird fucking noises) we get to what he called his parents place. We all got out of the car to make sure he didnt steal anything or damage anything. He said "Well thanks anyways" and walked away towards the back of the house basement door. My buddy looked at me and said "He said he lived right around the corner, I swear". We both get in the car kinda laughing, but right as we slam the car doors. Neclord appeared again almost out of thin air in the headlights. Both of use kinda jumped alittle but said nothing. Neclord just fucking stood there with his trench coat on, didnt move for probably 5 minutes with his head down. Being kinda stunned I finally said to my buddy "I think we should go". Right as I finish saying that, Neclord raises his head and walks over to my side of the car. (The window was down unfortunately). He slowly peers over into the car, slowly raises his hand and puts on his fucking sunglasses. "I found my sunglasses", does a little smirk, literally tuxedo mask cape jacket waves over the car, and walks away towards the house. After that, we started the car and drove home in silence. End of story.
