    In a public library, a dude sitting at a monitor with his hands in his lap, covered by a newspaper, implicitly means bad things. Fear not, he's only sneaked in an Xbox to steal the free WiFi and play Halo.

    The tumbelog teendrama picked this up - the writer's pal spied the multiplayer shenanigans in the New York Public Library. The guy above brought in a monitor, Xbox, wireless router, what looks like a Turtle Beach Ear Force gaming headset (I have one), and an external hard drive. His controller is concealed by yesterday's New York Post.


    "He proceeded to play Quake/Halo/Call of Duty," says the photographer, "some nerd fighter game while yelling out instructions to his 'teammates.'"
    Small wonder then, that it "took him 20 minutes to set it all up. Took him 2 minutes to get kicked out."

    Dude has the determination, but he's no Sam Fischer.

    Come on dumbass - it was wi-fi and you're telling me you couldn't think of somewhere a bit more secluded to set up your gear? ****ing n00b.

    Who notices people shouting out gaming instructions to an xbox with big headsets in a library like....

    If only he wasn't so lucky someone must have had the feeling that box in front of him wasn't a book and decided to check it out.

    someone should flashmob that library and see how many gamers can set up their equipment without getting caught.

    I wonder what he'd say if he was caught

    Gamers Brain: *think fast, think fast, don't say you where playing Halo, don't say you where playing Halo, what else could you of been doing?*
    Gamer: "I was jacking to pornography from the pornography store... yes, the pornography store"
    Gamers Brain: *Heh heh heh, I would never of thought of that*
