I just got a call from Gamestop... Because of the storms we're having here, they had to cancel the midnight release... I won't get my hands on the game until tomorrow morning... And then the tournament has been postponed as well to an undetermined date... The guy sounded completely clueless but he told me the whole thing would be pushed back a couple weeks... I know that can't be right unless they push everything back...

So has anyone else had to suffer this cruel fate? :urg:

Edit: I got another call from GameStop... They postponed the tournament to 2 PM tomorrow after the game's release...

That sucks.

Now this makes me nervous about the weather around here, because it is snowing right now, but the forecast predicts less than an inch of accumulation, so we'll see.

An inch or two shouldn't be too much of a problem... We got like 4 inches of snow yesterday... It's raining right now and will freeze over on top of the other 4-6 inches of snow we're supposed to get... :(

I live about an hour south of Toronto. When I wlaked outside this morning, I couldn't see 5 feet in front of my face. Literally. We got about 2.5 feet of snow in the past few hours. It's a good thing my EB wasn't having a midnight launch in the first place, cause they sure arent having one now!

Yeah, it's real balls. Mine hasn't canceled yet either but, when I called it sounded like we would still have it. They said to me though that they'd call if it gets canceled... so, I'm pulling out for a no cancel business. Otherwise... if it does cancel, I'll be REALLY pissed that I have to wait another day.

By the way, this is Cleveland Heights at Severance that I'm talking about.

Lucky for me, there is no midnight release, so I don't have to feel your pain. Sorry for you though.

Nope, I'll trudge through seven feet of snow and go through the fire and the rain to get brawl.

Yeah, but for those of us who have it cancelled, there's a bright side. We have about two weeks to prepare for the tournament.

The west side of Indiana (west of Indy) looks clear still, but I just took a look and weather.com and you guys do look like you are in for some crazy stuff. The entire east coast is covered in green on the radar.

It's pretty cold and windy down here in Florida, but nothing that seems Brawl-cancelling. I'm about to go out and run some errands though so I'll stop by Gamestop and make sure everything's good to go tonight.

I feel really bad for you unlucky winter souls.

Wow, for living in one of the worst weather related regions of the US, I'm completely unphased by this storm.

Hoorah! Although I wasn't planning on doing the midnight release anyway.

Let's see... Right now Beavercreek is on a Level 2 Storm Warning, Blizzard Warning, and because of the snow drift, there's about two and a half feet of snow in some areas. ((Shoveling my back porch was a pain in the butt.)) But I haven't gotten any calls yet, so for now, I'm thinking the Midnight release is still on.

Unfortunately, my sister is not being very cooperative, and won't drive me to GameStop after the Weekend of Jazz concert tonight because our mall isn't on the way to our house from the school unless you go the long way.

Maybe if I'm lucky, my dad will come pick me up so I don't have to wait for her to tear down the stage, and he might take me to GameStop...
