       Gamers kids nowadays will never know how amazing it was to wait in front of a local game store at midnight with dozens of people all waiting for a game to releaseEveryone waiting was friends without knowing each other because of the love for a certain titleThat was truly amazing

       @stux I remember waiting in line for the midnight launch of the original Xbox. he had saved up for months to buy the thing an the ONLY thing he wanted with it was a game called "Cel Damage". It was like a cel shaded version of Twisted Metal. I told him "I dont' know man, I've been reading in magazines and online about this game called Halo. I think you should  get that also. and he did. We played that thing for like 12+ hours straight, didn't sleep.Meanwhile I was in line with him not for an Xbox but to pick up either Zone of the Enders or Metal Gear Solid 2. can't remember which, all I know I was the ONLY person that night that bought a PS2 game and the looks I got from the xbox fanboys....oh boy.

       @stux Or that feeling when the game you purchased a week ago was put on the german index just when you received the box...
