Smash Bros. and Gears 2

I went to both the launches for Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Gears of War 2. There was a tournament at the Smash Bros. tournament and I made it to the second round (mostly due to the gimped Nunchuck controls) and my friend won the tournament. Everyone there was real friendly. Gears 2 was similar in that everyone was friendly but there was no tournament so we had to wait outside for 2 hours. I was the fifth one in line to get it so it worked out well.
