meh, if i still cared much about the ps3/xbox turf war maybe but my lack of gaming time these days has made it to where i don't really care. my ps3 is mainly for streaming or bluray these days with some gaming in between. i'm really hoping i'll get some good time in on MW3 though, especially with holidays coming up.



and LOL that in France two men robbed a truck carrying video games and stole the van with some 6000 copies of MW3. On top of that, the guy on eBay who paid $1,700 for a leaked copy of the game and this shit is getting ridiculous.

I should be getting it this weekend.

I'll be ready to rage with Fry and other Warriors.

I think the only game I've bought at midnight was one of the NCAA games on PS2 and I was in and out in less than five minutes. Thinking about picking this up tonight as a reward for busting my ass the past month, but I don't wanna be standing around with a bunch of neckbeards for two hours.

11/7/2011 6:24:07 PM

last year, i had preordered at gamestop and was like #100 or so in line (got the number when i arrived at like 11:45)

took about 20 minutes

kinda sucked

11/7/2011 6:27:16 PM

Gamestop site says you can stop by between 9 and 12 and pay for it, then just pick it up and 12

It'll get considered

Who's getting the Hardened Edition? I've never bought special edition, but I spent $90 on BLOPS with the map packs, so seems like it would be worth it. Plus I can keep a secret diary in whatever the fuck the field journal is

Adding everyone on Xbox as we speak. (HygelacsKinsman, for the unfamiliar)

11/7/2011 7:35:48 PM

Tik Tok goes the clock, cause my bullets dont stop...

See you boys at around 1:30am.

11/7/2011 7:49:49 PM

You're going to wait for four hours?

I'm excited for this game too, but my excitement has limits.

11/7/2011 7:51:39 PM

You can leave the store, just come back at midnight, show the bracelet, get your game, and go.

11/7/2011 7:56:33 PM

I can go there now and pay? Gamestop site says 9pm.

11/7/2011 8:00:22 PM

Went and paid. They give out wristbands to sort you into the proper line when you return. You show your receipt and they hand you a game and you're on your way.

We went at 7:15.

11/7/2011 8:07:55 PM

We'll see about this

Someone get a hold of E Man while I'm gone so we can get some pro strategies

11/7/2011 8:09:28 PM

Who's doing what first?

11/7/2011 8:16:02 PM

Ha, Ernie camps out for video games

11/7/2011 8:18:23 PM

^^^^^^^,

Yeah, I went and paid and went back to work. My office is across the street from GameStop so Im just gonna put in some OT and go pick it up. Brilliant!

11/7/2011 8:35:58 PM

Dudes were setting up shop all over the sidewalk at Friendly Center in Greensboro. Got the wristband, was in and out in less than two minutes, just like Slave.

11/7/2011 8:45:14 PM

lol Ernie.

I was at Friendly Center getting a wristband. Got there at 6 and done at 6:30. Line D!

11/7/2011 10:13:47 PM

none of this sounds worth the extra 12 hours I wait to get the game delivered to my house for free

11/7/2011 10:14:54 PM

what's this tom foolery about prestige tokens? if I'm at level 50 in blops and haven't yet prestiged should I and what do I get?

11/7/2011 10:23:29 PM

11/7/2011 10:25:27 PM

^^yes you should prestige.

the prestige tokens let you unlock stuff like extra classes, challenges, titles and emblems, and weapons/perks/equipment at level 1. one token for each cod you prestiged in.

11/7/2011 11:20:29 PM

Standing in line now, scrubs.

Prepare thyselves.

11/7/2011 11:27:26 PM

Yep in line now at friendly center with a 1000+ folks. But I'm 30ft from the door

11/7/2011 11:45:44 PM

last year i played like 2 matches of black ops before going to bed on release night

11/7/2011 11:48:40 PM

Got it got it got it

That wasn't so bad

Except for dudes in the parking lot with the shitty music

jimmypop knows what I'm talking about

11/8/2011 12:22:08 AM

music was a pain in the ass. Black guys I was standing with were not amused by the shitty music and weak bass.

11/8/2011 12:24:22 AM

I was right in front of the dudes in the F350 who were trying to fight back with Drowning Pool

Glad that was a quick line

11/8/2011 12:25:43 AM

GET ONLINE SO I CAN PLAY

11/8/2011 12:26:21 AM

I was home by 15 after. Got there at 11:30 and got a hat for asking about the line..lol

11/8/2011 12:27:39 AM

Zahnernaut live from GameStop. Have 2 labatt tallboys and cut in front of a solid 100 kids because i gave the door guy a lighter. Should be playing in about an hour

11/8/2011 12:31:16 AM

11/8/2011 12:34:10 AM

Just got back from Toys R us midnight release. Got there about 12:05 Got some free stuff, a t-shirt, jeep toy, poster, $15 gift card, and only like 5 people in line.

11/8/2011 12:35:48 AM

Started 1-0 in my first match and the host dropped out

Good to be back, COD

11/8/2011 12:39:12 AM

hahaha i am being really patient this time around...gonna read all you mofos impressions first and then buy

11/8/2011 12:40:15 AM

Whole team just got spawn camped.

Welcome back.

11/8/2011 1:05:39 AM

so what's the verdict?

11/8/2011 2:22:43 AM

enjoy the game. way more than BF3 IMO.

doesn't seem much different than MW2 so far but everyone was still low levels and running basic shit.

leveling seems super easy, 19 after like less than 2 hours or something?

either way. fun game. def worth the $30 I paid after taking BF3 back.

holla at sirleche if you guys wanna game tomorrow.

11/8/2011 2:47:43 AM

MP feels like they put the best parts of MW and MW2 together.

The singleplayer throws you into the shit REAL fast, and does not let up.

Have yet to try the "horde" mode. Looks like there may be some issues with the spawning sites on multiplayer though, but this has always been an issue.

11/8/2011 2:51:22 AM

I was watching the Machinima 24/7 stream at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0aO75RV0mY&feature=channel_video_title

Until the fucking commentator said "I thought Black Ops was a great fucking game..."

It was then I had to completely discount this channel and all it says.

11/8/2011 3:08:40 AM

2 hours of gametime. Rank 31. Thumbs up.

11/8/2011 4:38:59 AM

damn it my willpower is weak...

downloading PC version now

11/8/2011 6:29:09 AM

I'm hoping I can just walk into Best Buy on my lunch break. It worked last year for blops.

Should be online about 3:45pm this afternoon.

11/8/2011 6:51:08 AM

Its going to be a long fucking day...

I'll see you bitches around 6:30 tonight, save me a damn spot!

11/8/2011 7:35:18 AM

can't wait to play by myself on the PS3 tonight. woop!

11/8/2011 8:09:08 AM

Picked up my PS3 copy at 5:30 am this morning, received the perks (if you call a MW3 patch and a cupcake perks) of Wal-marts release event as well haha.

11/8/2011 8:29:38 AM

^ they gave me a poster, a mw3 box, a t-shirt, a patch, and a 4 pack of red bull at Walmart midnight release.

BUT NO CUPCAKE

[Edited on November 8, 2011 at 8:52 AM. Reason : aa]

11/8/2011 8:52:43 AM

^ stupid Virginia Wal-mart skimping out on the Red Bull!

11/8/2011 8:58:54 AM
