would you risk getting fired over getting madden at midnight?

I get 25 days a year, nothing is wrong with me using one to do something I really enjoy.

You can use your time to do anything you want. Going outto buy a video game, isnt something I would use it for, and I'm sure you'd say the same thing about some of the ways I choose to use my time.

That's cool.

Theres nothing wrong with taking a day or two off to play a videogame. If thats what you enjoy, who cares?

But if it gets to the point where you are risking your job, relationships, or health on a videogame, thats an unhealthy addiction, just like any other addiction.

exactly, not to mention the OP just said that he wouldn't even be able to play it until 6. so what would be the point?

Madden 10 drops in two weeks, can't you at least try to make up an excuse to get that day off ?

[reyes the roof]

Just don't show up that day, get fired and then claim your boss sexually harrassed you

Ok, well you're still young...

I understand the question.

That's one thing I have never gotten into was the midnight pick-up, even when I was younger (though I was more tempted back then). The fact that this game will be out and available to get for the next year or so and beyond, why not just wait a few hours as opposed to going out in the middle of the night. It will be there in the morning (and the morning after that, and beyond...)

Don't risk your job.

Why don't you make it easier for yourself and get the game early instead of risking your job.
