My morals will not allow me to purchase something that glorifies the lifestyle of big-time criminals. But there's nothing stopping me from playing the game! In fact, I'm on my way over to my friend's house to get crackin' on that!

Didn't Jim Anchower get a Game Cube? That's pretty damn good company right there, bra.

Parappa is "old school" now? To a 20 year-old? Hell yeah!

@fafou i hate to bring up the race card, but that's the most white faces i've ever seen at that shopping center. This part is still correct though.

RedTube...check it out. You will thank me later. A new low, swapping porn links in the comments at DCist!! @connie dobbs GTA4 will be stashed along with my Gimp mask and other "Daddy stuff".

Big L - Thanks, but the "talent" looks a little too "clean" for me. Much prefer the homelier types bumping uglies. That, or folks with severe physical disabilities, like guys trying to get some while writing a novel with their left foot.

Hillrat: Here's hoping that Babyrat doesn't discover Grand Theft Auto anytime soon. Girls are NOT the targeted demographic.

fafou: Seven. We need seven more black people. The only video game I like is Parappa the Rapper, but that's because I'm so old school and hardcore.

I pretty much gave up gaming after trying to kill that stupid flying dragon dealie in Metroid Prime. Fortunately, the very next day I discovered youporn dot com, so it's all good. Anybody want a slightly stained Gamecube? Didn't think so.

Erincarly there are 9 black people in the first picture alone. And every other picture that features more than one person has at least 2 black people, usually more. How many black people do you need? We can't be everywhere. We've got other things to do.

If you pan out a little further, you'll see the line of muggers queued up and waiting for 12:01 so they could get their copy of GTA IV. "Hi, I'm Bob. I'll be your mugger tonight"

I sure hope none of these people called in sick to their high paying socially important job.

@Hillrat: I will be plagiarizing your line about game consoles.

i hate to bring up the race card, but that's the most white faces i've ever seen at that shopping center. i never liked stopping at that subway during the day, let along lurking around at midnight to buy a videogame. but then again, maybe it's just because i'm a girl. oh, and monkeyrotica, i'd say at least half of them.

I gotta wonder how many of those guys either live in their parents' basement, are wanted for delinquent child support payments, or both.

The Best Buy in Tenleytown has a veritable wall of them for both the 360 and PS3. Just walk in and buy a copy, no reservations necessary.

I remember back when I used to have time to play video games. [sigh] Fortunately in a few years BabyRat will be clamoring for a game system and she won't get much resistance from her dear ol' Dad. Video game consoles are the new breasts; made for the kids, but Dad ends up playing with 'em most of the time.
