I don’t look forward to many games anymore. Maybe it is a sign of me getting older and becoming jaded. But here I am, standing on a line outside of GameStop, waiting to pick up my copy of \u00a0Grand Theft Auto V (GTA 5)<\/a>\"\".\u00a0This is the largest grouping of single dudes I’ve ever seen that wasn’t at a sporting event or in front of a gay bar. There were maybe five girls on a line of about 200 people, and I think three of them were buying the game for the kids they brought with them.<\/p>\n

Thankfully I am second on line because the weed smell coming off these people is giving me a headache. My son better appreciate me picking this up for him. If I didn’t work with this demographic on a regular basis, or have kids of my own, I might be worried about the future. But once again I digress.<\/p>\n

I really want to stay up all night with this game because all of the early reports on GTA 5 have proclaimed this as the best product that Rockstar has ever turned out<\/a>\"\". But unfortunately I have early meetings and a capstone class to teach in the AM. I plan to be in class bright and early in the morning. So woe be unto any student that doesn’t show up for class tomorrow. If I have to wait until tomorrow night to build a criminal empire, so do they!<\/p>\n
