My acquisition of AION will unfold as follows...as it has happened like this everytime:
Some weekend before AION comes out, I will ask my best friend Jamie if she can drive me to the one gamestop within a bajillion miles, which is located in the Bentley Mall, which isn't actually a mall as much as a hall...which connects to a grocery store, but its the closest thing we have to a "mall." Being the awesome person she is, she'll say yes at which point we'll layer like crazy and step outside to start the car. We'll then have to wait 45 min for it to heat up and drive to the gamestop...leaving the car on as we go inside, I'll ask them about the game and they'll look at me blankly. I will immediately panic and start strategizing of a way to get thegame as soona s possible, which will result in this...
1.) I will preorder the game online and pay for overnight shipping, which will probably cost as much as the game if not more, and given where I am, I am told that they;re is no guarantee that even overnighting it will get it here overnight.
2.) On release day, I will go to the gamestop, where they will tell me that no shipment has come of anything has come in....they;ll look in the computer and possibly go "oh yeah, there is something coming out today...well, its not in"
I will then go home, in withdrawal, and check my mailbox....which of course the overnighted item, never got overnighted...i'll then lose it and then by the DD online, and wait for a really logn download time. No sooner does it finally finish installing, my actual retail game will arrive, and I'll have to debate about whether to keep ti for whatever collector edition item is inside, or just return it
