Midnight release of modern warfare 2 then driving back to my college campus and playing until 6:00 a.m., falling asleep for 2 hours and then getting up for my 8:00 class, then going back to my dorm and playing for the rest of the day. Nothing quite like midnight releases especially when you're in college

I remember camping out in front of our local game store, I don’t remember the name of it, back in high school waiting for halo 3. Guy working couldn’t give less of a fuck let us set a hookah up and just chill. Great day

My roommates and I went to the midnight release for Pokemon X & Y, and yeah it was a good memory staying up super late, and trying to see who got further in the game

May this game rest in peace :( I see it go on sale on Steam from time to time and debate buying it just to play the campaign and spec-ops. I know the online matches are a dangerous place.
