would you risk getting fired over getting madden at midnight?

I agree but it is one thing to do that and know you will still have a job.

Today, with the current economy if you think you might lose your job over it, it is not worth it.

This dude has already decided that is what he wants to do. What will be great is in a couple of months when he really is sick he will complain how it isn't fair that his employer fired him for missing too many days.
He will end up living back with his parents (unless of course he already is living with them) Even as a high school kid, I would have never thought that missing work to buy a freakin' video game would have been ok. Anyone whose priorities are that far out of whack needs to take a serious look in the mirror and realize what it means to be a man.

LMFAO, madden forums.

And we wonder why our country has issues.

GO TO WORK.

Then again he wont be doing anything different than about 10,000 other people that day I actually thought taking off too since it's a Friday and I have days to use and I won't get fired but again to risk a job for it, not worth it.

Don't listen to all these a-ss-jacks, screw work! Its just some stupid job! Job's don't matter...life's about enjoying TODAY! I mean for christ's sake, if you went into work theres a chance you could hit by a bus before you pick up the game! Then you'd never get to enjoy the glitched gameplay, bright colors, and the All-star Tom Hammond commentary.
