Here's a snippet from an article I did over at my blog. There's a bit more so if you'd like to continue reading go ahead and click this brand-new banner.
P.S. Sorry for the large image
The weather ranged from a slight drizzle to violent monsoon-like conditions on March 8th, the day of the Super Smash Bros. Brawl midnight release. I kept track of the storm while at work, wondering if us anxious Smash Bros. fans would be unfortunate enough to have the sky open up while we waited outside of Gamestop.
It was roughly 6:30pm and the storm was reduced to a light drip. I thought the worst may be over but strong winds began to pick up again. Suddenly the power went out in the entire shopping center of my work (about a mile away from Gamestop). I initially thought, "Sweet! Half day!" But then I realized that my local Gamestop may be facing similar problems. I decided to stop by Gamestop to scope out the scene. I was greeted with this image:
I was relieved to see Gamestop with power, but then I realized just how lucky I was...
If you can't make it out, that's Wal-mart on the far right along with some beauty supply store directly next-door to Gamestop, both with completely no power.
Any1 know Pikachu? lolz.

Nah Sean, it was just luck. Gamestop and all the other stores down had power. You can see the Dots sign is on in the first pic.
I got it at midnight. It was the cutest experience ever, because I had this little 10 yr old kid right in front of me who was telling in detail how he could kick his dad's ass.
I wonder if GameStop hooked up a generator or something...
That was the same thing that happened in my area...
Canada didnt get a midnight release. I have made up for it by staying up all night every night since it came out playing.
