…but it is 1:30am, and I’m tired from a lack of sleep last night, and will pass out should I attempt to play it right now… or, I fear I might play it until dawn. Either way, I’m saving the gaming for tomorrow night (even though it is Tuesday right now, I still have yet to sleep, hence it referred to as “tomorrow”).

I was one of those guys and gals that stood outside of Best Buy at Yonge and Dundas tonight, waiting until midnight for the store to open up and start selling the game. I didn’t think I had to worry about them running out of stock, and in the end I was right. When I got there, the lineup easily had 300-400 people ahead of me, and once it was midnight, they let in 10 at a time. By the time I got to the front, I looked back, and the line was still stretched out to where I had first lined up. Seems I was not the only one yearning for this game.

While standing in line, it was fun to listen to people chat about all things GTA, and other geek-related topics. One guy behind me joked about how he as just standing in line to buy some RAM for his machine, while his friend said he was going to buy Windows Vista. Another guy in front of me was telling his girlfriend about all the things you could do in the game, ranging from jacking cars, to laying waste to crowds of civilians if you so chose. He even mentioned about how in GTA3 that you could beat someone to death with a baseball bat, and keep pounding them and pounding them, even though they were dead, and the body wouldn’t disappear for a while. Glad to know I’m not the only sick fucker that figured that out too.

Anyway, now that I have the game, I can rest easy knowing that I can play it soon, and not have to worry about not finding it anywhere, even if that worry was unfounded. I’m really looking forward to the multiplayer aspect of the game, and I think I’ve already sold my brother on the idea of rampaging around Liberty City, and seeing how long we can last while being chased down by the cops.

Looking forward to it!
