	The beautiful thing about video games... Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

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

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.

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".

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.

Why buy a game to do something that you can do in real life? The whole point is escapism?

The white guy is wearing a suit, which probably means he isn't much of a hunter and can only fantasize about it.

The black kid is just that, a kid. He's got some years ahead of him before he can start geting in high speed chases.

because there arent any forests up here and shooting caribou you can see from more than a mile away isnt much fun.

Oh, we're getting into role play now are we?

The white guy is a Mafioso looking for Mavis Beacon Typing and the black kid is Gary Coleman taking back a PCI graphics card he bought in error last week.

And after all you get spared from seeing the caribou slowly bleed to death, because you didnīt expect that, unlike the Tagets in the shooting range real Caribous are able to move and donīt have any circles painted on them indicating vulnerable spots and so you just hit his intestines instead of his Heart
Oh and of course unlike in a real hunt you donīt have to gut a virtual caribou afterwards

Since I am unimpressed with Europa Universalis, I don't have high hopes for their newest game, either.
