PEOPLE QUEUING UP TO BUY THEIR ANNUAL INCREMENTAL UPDATE OF A MAJOR FRANCHISE
Not only are these youths not in bed by midnight, they’re also hanging about on the streets waiting to buy a video game.
They’re only young. They’ll soon learn the futility of it all. Waste the next decade or two then snap out of it, boys.

I had to do this last year for son’s birthday.
Was great fun [/sarcasm]
Fortunately, didn’t have to do it again this year.
But I DO have to go into town to get a copy now.
Even though he doesn’t have a 360 to play it on as his optical drive’s bust, he’d still rather a copy of the game than the cash to put towards a new 360. I despair at times, I really do.

The bros already have “I’m too cool to get my hood on”‘s mobile, now their figuring out how to get “I’m Martin Gore’s fat cousin”‘s. Still, “Grey Hood” on the right is an undercover cop and will bust them big time. “Red jacket” will be told to fuck off we he (?) tries buying the game three hours later.

God, I’m getting old.

If it’s anything like last year, red jacket kid will have dragged his dad along to buy it for him.
I have a copy next to me on my desk now.
I feel dirty.
I found this amusing though.

Would love to see some kids faces after they’d waited in line all evening to be told “Fuck Off kid… you’re not old enough!”
Wonder when the Daily Mail will print the story about the kid in the red jackets Dad complaining about how his kid has been playing “Violent and Nasty games” when He’s the person who bought the little twat the game in the first place.

Richard Bacon’s* Five Live show had a section about CoD:BO yesterday. They had some woman on (bloody women, eh?) who said “I’d like to start by saying I’m not a gamer myself” and then went on to say how CoD is bad for people.
How far would anyone else get if they criticised a form of entertainment they don’t know anything about? Only with the games industry are people allowed to get away with it.
“I’d like to start by saying I have no idea what I’m talking about”.
“I’d like to start by saying I’m not a reader myself, but I think Catch-22 is sending out entirely the wrong message about war as I’ve heard someone somewhere say it’s funny and war is, as far as I can tell not having served on the front line myself, not funny.”
*I listen in spite of Richard Bacon. Bring back Simon Mayo.

Umm… I know I am all ‘old’ and not in touch with the yoof – but what game are we talking about ? Should I know this ?

The one about the shooting. You’re the goodies and you have to GET the baddies. You know. Same one as ever.

It’s this game.
Actually it would be an improvement if it were.

Never mind that – Sonic in actually good game shocker!
Let’s all celebrate with a walk/wank down Sonic the Hedgehog Avenue, or the “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” as popular nitwits Green Day once put it.

GameTrailers didn’t like Sonic Colors. And I instinctively side with all negativity.

I had a look at the trailer about a week ago. I had mixed feelings. :/
Not sure if I’d want the game or not.

Oooh, It’s like a DVD extra! Or the BBC red button.
Or one of those It takes two big brother’s little brother: You’re Fired, Confidential type shows.
What number do we call to vote/spout idiotic views?

“UK:R’s Little Brother” has a certain ring to it…
