I still remember the night before the game came out. I sat down at my computer with a glass of lemonade, hopped on youtube and literally watched gameplay for 2 hours straight. Rathian, Qurupeco, Great Jaggi, Lagiacrus. I was absolutely ecstatic that I would be playing this wonderful game in 24 short hours.

School was over, I hopped off my bus and walked home. It was a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky and one of the first few warm-enough-to-wear-shorts days. I checked the answering machine for a message from EB games about my pre order. Lo and behold, there it was. I grabbed my wallet and ventured of to the store. Someone walked out the door with a white plastic bag, visible through which was the CCP bundle. Smaller than I had envisioned. I walked up to the girl at the counter, told her about my pre order and she happily grabbed my bundle from the cabinet behind the counter. She told me she had been waiting for this one and couldn't wait to get off work to play it. She then asked me for my receipt. My receipt. The reciept which was sitting on my bedroom nightstand. FUCK. So I walked all the way home, and all the way back, showed the girl my reciept, and walked out of that EB games giddy as a schoolgirl. And I played that game all evening long.

Well, there's my story.
