As if the weather knew it is almost time, the rain dwindles to a calm sprinkle. The thunder still rolls on reflecting the intensity in the gamers' hearts -
Okay but really the weather has calmed down! The thunder and lightning are still going on but at least we'll stop getting wet.
'THIS IS SO WORTH IT'
- A man in the crowd during the storm.
Ten minutes left!

MW3 Launch: 11:07
Only true fans would sit through this. My boot are soaking wet and the sky is definitely falling. People are screaming and some are running to their cars. Even under the awning I needy umbrella because the wind is so bad. This is where the true fans and the posers are separated.
MW3 Launch: 9:45
Can this get any better? This night is turning into a meteorologist's dream. After several spurts of rain and chilly wind, now an earthquake!?
Okay, it really wasn't that bad. We didn't even feel it. Lets just hope we can avoid tornadoes.
On the plus side it's feeding time for the gamers. Pizza and water bottles are being distributed to customers who have been waiting in line. Now we are just waiting for the trivia to win prizes! At least I hope they have it like they did at the MW3 launch.

Tonight is going to be crazy. It's been windy all day but it picking up and it's been raining on and off. Luckily, we are being covered by a small awning. For those who didn't get here early enough to stand under it, I hope you brought an umbrella!
On the plus side the employees in GameStop got the okay to put on a few copies of MW3 into their machines. Early campaign? I think yes!

Alright, I got here about 15 minutes ago and the line is already more than few shops down from GameStop.
The first people who got here at 6:00! Not as early as I thought they would be . They are actually a group I was next to at the Gears 3 launch. Let's see who else shows up!

Cosplay Made Easy
With Halloween just around the corner it's time for us to dig into our pockets and dish out our spare change. This year the Halloween industry has a line of video game inspired costumes that makes cosplaying a simple concept for the whole family.
The most popular character this year is pictured above. Mario costumes have flooded shelves of nearly every store offering Halloween costumes. Certain specialty stores like Party City even offer the female version of the Mario costume. Princess Peach, 'Sexy' Princess Peach, Luigi, Yoshi, Wario, Waluigi, Toad, and female Luigi costumes are also available.
Other popular characters that have hit the shelves this year include:
Although its great that pretty much any main Mario character and other video game character costumes are available for purchase, the best costumes - or cosplays - are homemade.
One day, I too shall have a family cosplay. My three prospective children will be the original starter Pokemon, I Pikachu, and my husband Ash. It's going to happen.
Yours truly,
HavokRose
