  • Never camped over night or anything. But I did go to the midnight release of Smash Brawl, Gears of War 3, a few Pokémon games, and most recently the Switch 2. Switch 2 was the most fun, as everyone in line was in the same boat. Everyone missed release day pre-orders so we were all commiserating about the process. Everyone had their Switch with them and people were playing all sorts of things.

    Gears 3 was probably a close second. The Gamestop I went to absolutely broke street date with one single copy, and had it set up on a 360 outside the store with 4 controllers, so you could play it before it even came out. As soon as they opened the doors to let people in the store, I went up to that TV, quit out of multiplayer, and played a round of Beast mode for the first time ever, a few hours before official launch. It was great.









  • In the world of Game Collecting, the guy with potentially the largest single collection on the planet is getting rid of his collection.

    The ideal plan was for it to all go to a singular museum, which was in the works and then unfortunately fell through. Problem is the next two backups also fell through. So plan D involves the collection being split up and some of it going to the Embrace Group, and some into private collections, which was seemingly both never the plan. People who donated items, thinking that they would eventually be publicly displayed, are rightfully upset. And then the rest of his fans, such as myself, are somewhat bewildered that this is how it will end after decades of amassing a collection, and then years of saying it’ll all be going to a museum.
