November eighth's midnight release.
Joseph Baddley was a gamer who got his hands on one of the 7-million sold copies of Modern Warfare 1 3.
"So he could stand in a huge long line to pick up this game, drive home and begin playing and I didn't see him for like three days straight."
Joseph was recently discharged from the military after a back injury in Afghanistan. And he is now glued to a virtual 2 combat 3 and he admits it's not normal.
"No, but most of my friends are in the military, this is how we stay connected."
One day, his wife Alyze and her mother-in-law were shopping on Craigslist when a light went off.
"And I made a remark to my mother-in-law and said oh I'm going to sell him on Craigslist if he doesn't stop playing his video game. And she said, 'Oh, just do it.' So, I did!"
They didn’t expect much.
"Free. On Craigslist. To a good home."
But email started pouring in.
I've had a couple personal ads for men saying, oh I'm house broker,you know I'm trained, I'll trade him places."
"Some lady thought it was serious and tried to give us marital 4 counseling 5."
One woman offered to trade for a bag of Skittles.
Joseph played throughout our entire interview even during
"sum up."
Tense.
"Quite Sure."
Moments and although she did put ad out there. Alyze said she is happy to have here hobby home and says game on.
"Because I think he deserves his gaming after everything he’s done. I love him, I just it was, it was just a joke."
