The tumblelog teendrama picked this up: the writer’s pal spied the multiplayer shenanigans in the New York Public Library. The guy pictured 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, some nerd fighter game, while yelling out instructions to his ‘teammates’,” says the photographer.
Small wonder then, that it “took him 20 minutes to set it all up. Took him 2 minutes to get kicked out.”

Not sure how he managed to play Quake, Halo, and Call of Duty in only two minutes, though. :p
