...for a video game. I was invited to go to a release party for the new game, Fallout 3. Being I never played Fallout 1 or 2, I figured this would be a good way to get into a game. I'm a noted engineer and a survivalist, so I guess that's not such a strange party to go to except...its for a game.

How much do any of you know about this game? And who has ever been to a release party of any kind? Do they expect you to buy the game when you get there? Is it like when a band does a CD release party because I went to one of those once but it was like a normal show. What can I expect? This thing is taking place at midnight.
