Japanese hardware sales, Oct. 25 - Oct. 31: Ready for Duty edition

So, how's everybody getting prepped for the super impending release of Call of Duty: Black Ops? Perhaps you've been stretching your atrophied fool-shooting muscles by hopping back into previous entries into the series? Maybe you joined the actual military, working your way up the ranks to join the most secret of branches of our armed forces? Have you just been wearing your night-vision goggles to work, much to the collective chagrin of your boss, co-workers, and any passersby who worry that you're standing on the razor-thin cusp of insanity?

Those are all completely functional methods of preparation, we guess. We usually just go to the mall, and let teenagers beat the everliving crap out of us while they scream obscenities. See, it's more important for us to build up a tolerance to being humiliated by adolescents ten years our minor. But hey, different strokes and all that.
