Are you 10 years old, there is no way an adult is going to get this hyped over a stupid video game.
My husband does. He doesn't start a thread over it only because instead of being on the internet he is discussing his strategy with his friend over how they're both going to take the day off from work, get the game, immediately hook it up with the ear piece thing, connect with their other friends from around the country, and play.
But at work he's an uber serious professional
It's quite entertaining from a spectator point of view. And as long as I don't pass in front of the tv, I'm on my own for a few days. I'm not as video game savvy as he is so I don't play until he's past that point of competitively getting to a specific level. I go shopping or catch up with friends or read more or whatever it is I don't get to do often.
