It may have been silly, but it was also college.
Camping out these days as an adult for video game strikes me as the same type of people who are Star Wars or Star Trek geeks. I couldn't believe that people camped out for weeks before the last Star Wars movie opened, but they did.
My brother and his best friend camped out for my parents many years ago so that my parents could get Super Bowl tickets one year when the Dallas Cowboys went their.
Good Lord man! I wouldn't do it for myself!
