Never attended a midnight launch in my life, does that make me unbelievably cool or a massive loser? ....actually don't answer that.
My mate went to the midnight launch of one of the Harry Potter books (think it was the last one) and some people were there in capes and stuff.
Don't think there has ever been anything I was so desperate for I couldn't wait a few hours to get my mitts on.

One of my sons pre-ordered GTA V way back when. On checking Amazon this evening for the whereabouts of his order, he discovered that his order was cancelled in May!!! Not a happy bunny! Neither is his partner now, as she has just dropped in to collect Mrs DL's Morrisons discount card to go and collect a copy from there! Not good.
My copy of GTA V is waiting for me at home but I'm not starting it until I get the last trophy on The Last of Us.
I'm very surprised they didn't make GTA 5 a launch title for next gen, as oppose to a swan song for current gen. If they think people are going to buy GTA 5, and then get the exact same game 2 months later for even more money, well, they're probably right actually!
My PS3 couldn't handle Tomb Raider, I dread to think what it'd be like with GTAV, so that's a no from me. It may end up as one of the games from this generation that I miss out on, unless the rumoured next-gen ports end up being true.
Morning.
So did anyone stand in a queue for the GTA 5 launch last night?
I was there last time around for GTA 4, but not this year.

Morning. The puppy is crying, I'm trying to train her to be on her own for a while as she needs to get used to it. It's not easy.

You crazy English people with your famous freshers tomfoolery, this is most amusing yah...
Wouldn't worry about it Chris, each to their own. I'm sure you'll meet loads of people who have similar interests to yourself or are just 'going along' with the whole freshers thing but really couldn't care less about it and/or could really do without spending the money. A friend of mine did exactly that at his first year at uni to 'fit in', once he had done what was 'initially expected of him' he went off and did his own thing.
EDIT: Just noticed the Brutal Legend thing, will check that out. Does like my kind of game, cheers for the heads up mate.[/i]
Just to make it clear, i was just talking about my student accommodation rather than students in general. We had 3 foreign students and 5 English students in our halls. There were other students more like me in other halls, but it took a while to find other geeks! :)

I really don't feel a part of my generation right now. Everybody I know in Bournemouth so far is getting blitzed off their faces tonight, but it really doesn't appeal to me whatsoever. I'm more comfortable with a cup of tea and a TV series to watch all night. Call me sad, but staying out late just isn't my idea of fun, let alone with people I've known for less than 24 hours.
Guess while they're puking up their guts tomorrow nursing a hangover, I'm going to enjoy some more sights of Bournemouth. Went down to the beach before to take some pictures before the storm got here. Also started a "university experience" blog, which I'll hopefully keep up-to-date until I graduate.
Anyways, did anyone else pick up the Humble Bundle yet? Had a go at Brutal Legend before, think you might like it pete.
I was the same at Uni, though I was older than many of the English students. I found the foreign students far more likely to be interested in the same things as me (and showing Germans Allo Allo was fun, they loved it). Plus they had better cooking skills and were generally less like baboons.
