Okay so for those of you who do not know how gamestop mid night premieres work, it is first come first serve. There are two types - ticket systems.
For tickets, basically you go in earlier in the day and they give you a ticket. This ticket represents a group and that group will be served at said time. So for example if your group one, you get helped at exactly 12, but if you miss it, you have to wait all the way til the end.
For first come first serve - it's pretty self explanatory. First people there get helped first. Some people start lining up like 2pm though so it's pretty die hard to be the "first".
My GameStop in particular uses ticket systems. They have already began random lottery raffles for the first 10 tickets in group one. I unfortunately did not win one. HOWEVER - the general manager of the store held onto one and told me he will be hosting a Destiny dance off challenge 10 minutes before midnight to see who wins the last ticket in group one!
So my goal is to win that ticket! I have to preform in front of him, the staff, and all the other people waiting for the game!
Three other people have accepted his challenge so far and I will beat them! I will practice the Destiny dance every single day!
Might even post a video or two of my "progress" for you guys to critique :).
Edit: I have began watching and studying how exactly the Destiny dance looks on YouTube. It just got real for me! XD

Edited by Keeyop: 8/20/2014 3:17:50 PMI find if you skip the dance but turn up with a shotgun you can bypass the ticketing system entirely and still leave with your dignity intact. Besides you know that ticket is going to the only girl in the queue, the one with the nice rack, tight t-shirt and pixie cut hair, who is just accompanying her boyfriend. Why put yourself through that shit when it will only lead to disappointment.

Ayou have to do all 3 dances if you're gonna win it. I'd throw in some other game dances eg Eddie's windmill in tekken/ some of the stripper tekkers in duke nuke em....

Good luck guardian! [spoiler]Needs more cowbell[/spoiler]

Or you know...you could just preorder the digital guardian edition and not have to wait in line. Unless you have xbox, or got the ghost edition.
-
What's your YouTube.
-
They are already providing tickets? That seems pretty early. My Gamestop doesn't start tickets until 6-ish the night of. It's always ran smoothly. In and out in 5min.
-
You gonna mimic a guardians moves?
-
im curious which race and gender dance are you going to do, or is it like a combination of all of them?
-
We can dance if we want to We can leave your friends behind 'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance... [spoiler]well their no friends of mine[/spoiler]

Best of luck man! Make sure you bring enough cardboard, your lucky 7 leaf clover (if that damn Yancy hasn't stole it yet, oh and no need for pants. Those parachute pants are yours baby!) "Do not seek the ~Ronco~ treasure

Watch the episode "The gang dances their asses off" from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Some good ideas in there.
-
Do the Moonwalk. If it isn't an automatic win, then it was rigged in the first place.
-
Someone needs to record this dance off
-
Watch Kevin Bacon in Footloose 💃
-
More power to you, will definitely spread your vid for support.
-
I'm getting the Bundle so i'm assuming there won't be that big of a line at all.

Edited by Deathstrike616: 8/19/2014 4:59:18 PMThese midnight release plebs ;) Screw standing in line! Amazon Prime drones are the future!
-
I preordered on PSN to avoid that sort of thing. Once preloading is standard across the board, I may never step foot in Gamestop again.
-
Would there still be a copy the next day? 'Cause I'm not staying up that late for a game.
-
Exo and human dance is too hard stick with the awoken slide dance b/c it looks the easiest.

Got the perfect dance, costume and song for you. 1. Buy the Flashdance costume online(if you don't already own it) 2. Play the song - Flashdance What a Feeling 3. Sit in a chair and have someone pour a bucket of ice water on you(kill 2 birds with 1 stone) and dance like Jennifer Beals It's a win/win scenario. If you don't win the dance, I would bet you would win for dressing up like that.

*dances in front of crowd* *slips on curb and breaks wrist* *misses midnight release* *can't play destiny for 3 months due to broken wrist*

Edited by LTZ HeavyBackup: 8/19/2014 3:16:30 PMMy GameStop just does long ass lines. But the trick is...to be last. They keep the games in the back and when midnight hits, They reverse the line because the end of the line is right by the door where the games are and they hand them out there :)

You gotta do some type of any cosplay and do the 3 dances in Destiny
