Freezing our asses off for Skyrim

I am sure that I am not the only reader of this blog that spent time freezing their ass off waiting in line patiently for Skyrim last night at midnight. I arrived 20 minutes to midnight and got in line. I believe I was around 100th in line and had preordered most of a copy for PS3.

We all talked about how "balls cold it fucking [was]" and then I made a joke about forming an Occupy Gamestop protest.  Later someone said near the middle of the line said that his line was actually waiting for Joan Fabrics to open up so they can buy yarn.

Over all it was a festive time standing in line with like minded people. Knowing that soon all of us would be back in our homes seeking dragons to slay.

The doors opened promptly at midnight and cheers rang out.  The first 5 guys in line were apparently friends since they rode together. The guys came bursting back out the door seconds after entering screaming "WOOOHOOO" as they made a mad dash to their cars. They all went to pile in to a Honda Civic parked directly across from the Gamestop doors.  The front passenger decided to go all dramatic and do a Starsky and Hutch-like slide across the hood and completely failed.  He overshot, slid off, and landed on his back in the dark. All 120+ of us still waiting outside watched and laughed as his game went tumbling off in to the dark night parking lot.  It was a great ending to a long cold wait.

I filtered in, picked up my copy, and as I was leaving realized that another 50+ people had formed behind me while I was in the store.  Excellent night!

Oh yeah, and the game is good too.  : )
