No, but I saw this image and caption:

YahooNews Caption:
At 12:30 a.m., game enthusiasts play an older XBox game, powered by a generator, Tuesday, Nov. 22, 2005, in front of a Target store in Columbus, Ohio, as they wait for the 8 a.m. release of the new Microsoft XBox 360 at the store. From left are Larry Freshour, 19; Alex Malone, 20, front; Kyle Heiberger, 24, who was the first in line at 7:30 p.m.; Joseph Bowen, 21, standing; Nick Merrick, 24; Kevin Romer, 21; Brandon Westfall, 21; and Marc Dizard, 21.

    This week on The O.C.:







    "I know, he told me he was going to stand in line, in the freezing cold and wait for a record. Can you believe that???"







    Next Week on The O.C.:







    "So you left the charity even early to take a nap and get up at 4am to go wait for a stupid record? What is up with that???"









    "Yeah, you nerd!!!!"









    ...tune in for next week's thrilling conclusion!

    I am sorry. Women who collect records are not nerdy so you did not need to be included in that statement.

    You dudes that collect high school band records, Italian soundtracks and "breakz" are considerably worse than gamers.

    That guy that was asking for turin italy shops should have immediately been paged to identify and locate Andrea...

    Mesg board posting units we are as nerdy. although inside jokes about great record producers or musicians look more acceptable than game designer name dropping.

    however compared to record fairs their fairs are way cooler..

    I know this guy who makes real money selling swords, power ups, n shit to online gamers. I couldn't believe it, took me a while to realise these were NOT plastic lightsabres, but "virtual" weapons he had cracked and was selling to gamers for $10 and up. That's like buying certain records just so people on Soulstrut will PM you.
