Come Out and Play

I’m having a real internal battle with myself about that Batman game.  See, I got a message from GameStop about the midnight opening they’re doing for the game, meaning, obviously, that I could go down there tonight and get my copy, then be home beating up clowns and swinging on grappling hooks by 12:30.  The battle is this– what good is having a game at midnight when I normally hit the sack by 1?  Plus, there will probably be a crowd there for the exact same thing, and that store doesn’t accomodate more than three or four people very well.  I’ve never been to a midnight launch type thing anyway, and I don’t think they’re my cup o’ tea.  The only upside seems to be that it’s been very comfortable outside here lately, temperature-wise.  I did have an amusing urge to go down there in my Rorshach costume and pretend I mistakenly thought it was the Watchmen game release.  As amusing as that would be to me and nobody else, I don’t think it would be worth it.  …Unless I could get a Nite Owl and a Silk Spectre to go with me, then we could pretend our presence was totally unrelated and I could break somebody’s finger in an attempt to interrogate them about something.  Now that would be hilarious!
