I’m sitting in Penn Station and the pedestrian traveler traffic is unusually heavy for 2:30pm on a non-holiday weekend.enCommunityServer 2007.1 (Build: 20910.1126)http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/61fps/archive/2008/07/21/it-s-dangerous-to-go-alone.aspx#111238Mon, 21 Jul 2008 20:56:49 GMTbd485f5c-a45b-491f-8e52-c79e7f680fc3:111238Rob<p>No one comes up and talks to me when I'm playing Bubble Bath Babes.</p> <img src="http://www.nerve.com/CS/aggbug.aspx?PostID=111238" width="1" height="1">http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/61fps/archive/2008/07/21/it-s-dangerous-to-go-alone.aspx#111211Mon, 21 Jul 2008 19:19:01 GMTbd485f5c-a45b-491f-8e52-c79e7f680fc3:111211Derrick Sanskrit<p>A few weeks ago I spotted a guy on the A train furiously slashing his DS's touch screen while still holding and tapping the d-pad. I moved closer and saw that he was playing The World Ends With You and was battling outside of 104. I asked him how far in the story he was and what brands were his favorites so far. He was obviously more excited that I was familiar with the game than creeped out by my sneaking a peek at what he was playing and we discussed pins until I had to transfer two stations later. Good times.</p> <img src="http://www.nerve.com/CS/aggbug.aspx?PostID=111211" width="1" height="1">
