In compliance with directives issued by state and local authorities, stores in the path of the storm will remain closed until it is safe to re-open and midnight openings for <em>Assassin's Creed 3</em> have been cancelled in the northeast," a GameStop representative informed <a href="http://kotaku.com/5955901/gamestop-cancels-all-midnight-openings-for-assassins-creed-iii-in-the-northeast">Kotaku</a>. "Customers should check with their local stores for details on when we will re-open."<br /><br />And as I sit here, staring out my rain-battered window in Boston, watching the trees wave and the final leaves of autumn be ripped off horizontally, I echo GameStop's concern: if you're also being affected by Sandy, please stay safe tonight.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/10/29/gamestop-cancels-assassins-creed-3-midnight-events-in-northeast/">GameStop cancels Assassin's Creed 3 midnight events in northeast</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 29 Oct 2012 18:30:00 EST.
