03/10/08 - Super Smash Brothers Brawl midnight release!

I beat Metal Gear Solid 3 on a no kill, no alert mission in just over three hours with the use of the stealth camo and infinity face paint

A lot more people showed up to the midnight release than I expected

I guess Bryce was right after all

Tony and James weren't even buying a copy

We stood around for a while trying to figure out the situation

GameStop had their cage thing down

Tony standing around

James this this whole situation is ridiculous

But they had nothing better to do

Surveying the crowd..

See? I told you

Our first glimpse of Brawl in the real world

It looked gorgeous

First we got in a line to pay for our game early

This guy was trying to figure out how the tournament was going to work

Bryce was impressed

This guy has a Wii shirt!

The guy in front of Bryce digs deep into his wallet..

..and forks over the $50 for the game

We went to an Uno's while we waited for midnight. Tony got a martini

These chumps just got water

S|B did not actually stand for "smash brothers"

James making fun of how Bryce kept rubbing his face

And then laughed about it

James "rocks out" outside of Unos

This is Tyler, I met him in line

He's got his paid receipt ready in hand!

This line moved really fast since everyone had already paid

Note the huge stack of games

I got my receipt voided

Finally! My own copy

My copy in front of the midnight launch poster and "the guy with the hair"
