GTA V
Monday
Monday night (or technically, Tuesday morning) was the official release of GTA V. Malay and I had arranged to go together to the midnight launch at the Wick's EB Games so I could pick up my pre-ordered copy.
I went to the gym at the Wick and then picked him up at 10:15pm. He thought we were going to the Wick's KFC, despite the fact that I told him it'd be the city KFC, and that the Wick's one probably closed at 10pm. I know he doesn't like going to the city, for whatever reason, but there were no other KFCs open.
So keeping that in mind, I drove to the one closer to Central, to limit the exposure of him to the city. We had the pie combo and talked, watched a girl stack it as she came in, rested a bit, then had another pie combo. That second one was probably a mistake. I felt like exploding towards the end.
After that we went to the Wick. It was kinda exciting to be meeting up so late, and even more exciting to pick up such a hyped about video game. We went into the shopping centre through a side entrance and upstairs saw about 20 people waiting in or around the store. Surprisingly there were a few girls.
We browsed the store, talked a bit, I got a ticket, then everyone was ordered to line up as midnight approached. So Malay and I lined up, and I was proud to be with him for such a monumental moment. Sure enough, at midnight they started handing out the game and free posters. Even Malay got a poster, so at least he got something out of it.
I haven't felt this way about a video game since Mario Bros 3. I remember pleading with my mom to buy it, and then after catching the bus back from the shopping centre near me, grasping the game tightly in both hands, studying the box with enthusiasm and anticipation.
When I got home after dropping Malay off, I couldn't help it but put the game into the PS3. "Five minutes" I told myself, but it took like 15 minutes just to install. I wanted to get online but apparently that is not released until 1st October.
