The Other US East Coast Lich King Launch

While perhaps not as glamorous as the posh New York City Best Buy launch Jim attended last night, the other end of the US East Coast was representing last night at the Mansell GameStop in Roswell, Georgia for the World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King midnight launch. There were chicken wings, and pizza, and…more chicken wings. And the costumes! You should have seen the costumes! Okay, I was probably the most costumed person there, but I don’t think documentary director Roger Michael Moore is a race in WoW…yet.

GameStop’s Nationwide GTA IV Launch Events

Surprise – GameStop is hosting midnight openings for Grand Theft Auto IV! Okay, not so much a surprise. GameStop has announced that over 3,500 of their stores across the U.S. will be opening at midnight to sell Rockstar’s latest masterpiece, with most stores hosting special events starting at 9PM on Monday the 28th, complete with trivia contests (what is doing a hooker, Alex?) and Grand Theft Auto character lookalike contests. You can hit up their official list to see which stores will be open, though it is a pretty safe bet that unless your GameStop is in one of those uptight malls that doesn’t want possibly armed young adults wandering around with firearms after regular hours you’ll be golden.
