The beautiful thing about video games...

[Al B. Sure!]

yesterday, I went to the Gamestop in the gallery, a mall in center city philly, to see if they had that game Victoria yet (I figure i'll get a chance to play it during the long ass winter break they give you in college). There was a clean, trimmed white man in a business suit there who got my attention looking at the racks and beside him was a typical young black teenager (probably 14 or so) in the urban 'uniform' of jeans, a long white tee, state property jacket, doo rag, etc. looking on the same rack. and not that far away was some real nerdy asian college-aged guys chattering away in their nerdy voices.

so how bout that? what else could unite three very different types of people as a white suit, a black 'thug', and an asian nerd, all of different ages and backgrounds, but video games? such a beautiful thing

And of course, it all happens to the glorious exclusion of Women.

Do you have to complain about everything, Snappy?

[David Floyd]

Now that's not fair. There are lots of women in gaming chatrooms.

Oh, wait, I meant "women", didn't I?

Either way, I do see AS's point.

nah, the black boy was waiting for an opportunity to rob you...

[Al B. Sure!]

wouldn't the nerdy asians have been a better target?

[David Floyd]

No, they know kung fu.

Cool! A white suit, a black 'thug', an asian nerd and a white trash facist all gaming together in harmony.....

And the white guy was there anticipating him filing charges and needing an attorney.

And the asian guys were planning to count the number of matches in the box of matchsticks held by the whitey after drop-kicking it out of his hand in about as much time as it takes for Bush to pronounce "the".

The Asians are looking for Civ3, the white suit is in there to buy Sim City 4 and the black guy is trying to shoplift Serious Sam

You have your stereotypes all mixed up. The asians are there for starcraft, the white guy's there for deer hunter, and the black kid's there for GTA.
