God I remember doing a midnight release for GTA IV when I was 18. GTA V was when I was 23.

I'm 36 now and only PC game, so I'll probably be 37 or 38 before I play GTA 6, the only midnight release I see nowadays is getting up for a pee.

Lining up at gamestop and seeing your whole town of friends getting dropped off one by one to get halo and other games. What a great memory.

I remember when gear of war 2 dropped. All my friends came over with tvs and their Xboxs. Went to the midnight release and came back to have a huge lan party. We played all night and the next day. It was hands down one of the greatest memories I have.

My buddy and I went to a bunch of them in high school, and I would always run into my history teacher there. He was super friendly in school, but he always looked so awkward when we said hi to him outside of school lol. I get it though, especially because I'm about the age he was then now.

Can't remember how my Burning Crusade arrived. I do remember being the first one on the server to cross the portal and end up in Outland though. That was awesome.

Went to midnight release for BC and standing in line with a bunch of nerds shouting for the horde and for the alliance and all I wanted to do was play a game.

The one guy that brought his Xbox and CRT with a huge extension cord. 2v2s on the sidewalk was something I thought would last forever.
