WASTED

AMMO? You must be planning on shooting up a mall!

I'm a balding white guy in my thirties with a beard and a bit of a spare tire. Everyone at the con is cosplaying as me.

I call it Aimbot IRL.

do you get bonus points for doing 360 no scopes?

Who knows. Or maybe the retailer claimed his actual loss—which was a wholesale cost and not MSRP?

Foul Play at the Fair

At least Halo and Call of Duty add new maps and gamemodes, even if the gunplay remains the same.

Only if it's a Note, in which case it's reasonable because you would be still be lost swimming through the vastness of that screen.

Yeah, that's the point I strive to bring across to other parents. It's not about the violence or the swearing or the blood or the sex. It's about putting the child through an emotional situation that they just aren't old enough for.

On the other hand, I'm not sure I want to take parenting advice from the dude who has worked at Gamestop for TEN YEARS.

I love the things that people like Mike from Penny Arcade are doing to educate parents about game ratings and games that are good or bad for kids. I love that the ESRB has been pumping out more advertisements to raise awareness of game ratings.

ZOMG the 3rd 3 inch circle means half life 3!!!!! i just cant fucking w8!

I love this kind of stuff, and if I were in Beijing (or if there were any nearby), I'd totally do it.

It reminds me a little of another interactive experience I regret missing out on, a New York play called "Sleep No More", which was basically an interactive, explorable environment-based version of Macbeth.

This gave me flashbacks for some reason...
