>> Venice is and I'm waiting the game about three weeks ago.

>> I've got to get it as soon as it comes out man.

>> I'm so excited about the game. That all I wanted.

>> We all play it tonight.

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah. We'll play it all tonight.

>> And just remember--

>> We'll gonna have a free starter and just the experience of being out here with a bunch of people that think alike.

>> [Inaudible]

>> And we all play the game and it's a great feeling man.

>> If you meet people from across the city and you'll be surprised of what you have in common with them. You know what I mean?

>> With the experience in America. I see it all the time it amused me and yes and that I'm not gonna stoop myself. We don't have that kind back in Australia. ^M00:00:55 [ Music ] ^M00:01:00 [ Background Music ]

>> I think it's kind of ridiculous and--

>> In Europe, I don't think we get this kind of waiting launch for just a game in the middle of the night so it's kind of freaking but it's cool, it's cool.

>> I'm not that of...I don't know if you're gonna call it generation but I certainly don't hold it against them enjoying the time doing what they do and sort of.

>> Look back.

>> Look back. ^M00:01:21 [ Music ] ^M00:01:30 [ Background Music ]

>> I just wanna get the game first, go home and play it. I don't have a lot of time. I've got a school to be with a lot of work but you know I'm trying to get as much game today as I can because that game will suck your life. It will suck your life over.

>> First copy I'll see you on XBox live. First stop. ^M00:01:43 [ Music ] ^M00:01:58

>> Would you stay in line for like?

>> I'm standing in line for worse.

>> Yeah. What's the worst thing you've stayed in line for?

>> Drugs [chuckles].

>> Drugs. Yes.

>> With longer line.

>> With longer line. That's also them.

>> That's New York City. Well, that's it.
