GDC09: If the BART's a rockin' ...
After departing the rather subdued first day of GDC 2009, we were reminded that gaming is everywhere -- even your friendly neighborhood BART station agent booth. Either the employee who was so proudly displaying their purchase in the middle of San Francisco's Powell Street station absolutely, positively had to pick up Rock Band 2 while on the clock, or they couldn't pass up the 50% off, going-out-of-business sale at the Virgin Megastore across the street.
If it wasn't for our sheer exhaustion -- we said it was subdued, we didn't say it wasn't exhausting -- we would have gone bargain shopping ourselves at the store. Who knows, maybe we could have scored a few copies of 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand for ... wait for it ... 50-percent off. Witness the sad sign of our crumbling economy after the break.
