Really - what's the point, people? Multiple locations (including the one where I have my copy reserved) are having this "BIG ODST MIDNIGHT RELEASE EVENT" and guess what - no event at all, at any of them. I even got a pre-recorded message hyping this thing up and telling me to "BE THERE AT 10PM SO I DON"T MISS ANY OF THE FESTIVITIES". Apparently they want you to show up at 10 and stand there for two hours doing NOTHING until they kick you out until the 12AM pickup time...
- No Costume Contest
- No Tournaments
- No Swag/Giveaways/Door Prizes
- No Food/Drink
- No Bands
- NO ANYTHING!!!
I know that Jacksonville is the ass-end of the known world as far as culture goes but please... At one store they said that they couldn't get any XBox's or TV's together for a tourney - WHAT? You're freakin' GAMESTOP! The other store said that they might be taking names for a tourney sometime in October - that's it, that's the BIG ODST EXTRAVAGANZA!!! These are both stores on Southside - heavy retail in a relatively affluent area so there is really no excuse for this kind of fail...
Heck, I may as well go to the grocery store and wander around... :eek
/rant off (Sorry 'bout that)
