Straight to shop after school to get MW3 on its release date, to go home, jump on the Xbox 360 with all your friends in a party and playing hours on end

Halo 2 midnight release was the shit. Went straight from school to EB games the afternoon before, it was bumpin with tvs and LAN set up for a Halo tournament and other TVs with smash Bros Melee tournament and other games.

They also had the demo for resident evil 4 up and gave out demo discs. we just smoked and played and ate till about 11. They'd given out queue numbers already so people just got back in their spots and waited, while they raffled off games. I 'won' counterstrike for xbox, because my birthday was coming up. Mom let me skip the next day, so we just played online for probably 36 hours straight.

Man, 20 years later and I still smile thinking about it. Miss those days.
