Gamer Youth

Today, in a semi drunken stupor, I found a long line going into a local video game store. Not an EBGames or a Gamespot, but an actual local video game store. They had brand new HDTVs with Smash Brothers Brawl playing. Tournament... fuck yeah! Damn you alcohol, made me forget about the most anticipated game of the year's launch.

To be honest, I didn't know that today was Brawl's launch. Sad, I know, but I had other things going on. I couldn't get into the tournament, but what I gained is a better sense of the new-age gamer (new-age meaning, young age). If you approach them, they will talk to you, they are not afraid to talk to anyone at all, especially if it's about gaming.

Just a tidbit to the haters of video games.....think of a generation of people of all races, genders, and backgrounds coming together to be entertained. Discrimination disappears, relations are gained, and the product is the ultimate victor.

Thank you Nintendo!
