Grand Theft Auto IV is launching at midnight, and I kinda want to go. I’ve never been to a midnight launch before, and while I really expect it’s going to be nothing more than sleepy employees and excited neck beards standing in line in a deserted mall, I’m tempted. I also desperately want to bring a decanter of coffee with me, and offer up Hot Coffee to anyone who wants it. I am hilarious, you see.
Ooh – if I decide to go to the launch, I’ll have a perfect excuse to NAP when I get home from work. I am the Master of the Nap – it doesn’t matter how much sleep I got or the time of day or how much caffeine I just had; put me in bed and stick a cat on my ass and I’m out cold within 15 minutes. Of course, I can’t sleep when it’s bed time for reals, but I’ve learned to function anyway. And tonight if I can’t sleep, I’ll have a new video game to play. It makes perfect sense for me to go to the mall at midnight. I’d be a fool NOT to go!
Now that I’ve talked myself into it, it’s time to convince Josh he needs to come with me and that he should bring a baseball bat, just in case.
I can assure you that midnight launches are indeed boring as hell. A bunch of nerds joshing each other about being nerds… and a few people who take themselves entirely too seriously, therefore getting joshed all the further.
Or so I discovered when me and 200 of my closest friends invaded Best Buy on a chilly January morning to get the first copies of the Warcraft expansion…
Yeah. Am nerd.
I wish I could do the NAP. I’ve tried and tried, but I’m not very good at it, and usually end up feeling worse. You are a lucky nap lady.
