We’re not posting news because we’re standing around GameStop

So here’s Joey. We’re at a local GameStop store for no apparent reason. But what’s this? Joey is playing a Wii game against Illinois student and president of the “Smashing Illini” organization, Eric Brickman. What game could they possibly be playing?

We’ve lost Joey for the night.

Anyway, we’ll be hanging around the Green Street GameStop in Champaign-Urbana, IL in case anyone wants to hang around some of the coolest Nintendo journalists out there. We’ll keep checking in with everyone over the next few hours!

Look at us trying to pass off the display boxes as the real thing! Lame!

    I wish I wasn’t on vacation so I could pick up the game at midnight.
    I will definitely be looking for a Best Buy on the road tomorrow, though.

    The key word being “some” and not “all”… (of the coolest Nintendo journalists..)

    Here I am, sitting in what might as well be an igloo, waiting for EB Games to open tomorrow..

    Oh well.. Who wants to hear me complain anyways. Brawl tomorrow!

    I wish I wasn’t on vacation right now, or I would be lined up right now. I’ll have to settle for taking my chances tomorrow morning at a random Florida Best Buy.

    i feel your pain michael… my local gamestop isn’t going at midnight either… why is life so cruel?

  • Michael

    I have to keep reminding myself that I’m actually going to finally be able to play it tomorrow. If it wasn’t for all this damn snow life would be great. lol

    It took me, my sister, mum and dad an hour and a half to clear off our driveway as well as our grandparents’. If we didn’t have a back-hoe and a mini tractor with a scoop on the front we would still be out there..

    But again, enough of my whining… Brawl!
