Everybody Do the Leipzig Rush!
Posted by Adam Barenblat at 11:00 AM on August 27, 2008
There were tons of people running to get into Games Convention in Leipzig, no literally, tons of em'. Right as they opened the doors hoards of people stampeded through the halls hoping to be the first to get hands on time with the exhibits. James Bonti, Associate Producer for Activision Blizzard took this video footage and was nearly trampled himself. You can also see Crash Bandicoot leading the pack. For your courage, we salute you!

That wouldn't have been nearly as funny without Crash leading the pack.

Insomniac... Valve... take note. THAT is how the "infected" should move!
If they were all zombies, I would be screaming like a little girl.

I'd just like to say that PAX is nothing like this.
Everyone is in a very well-kept line, and people are able to walk slowly through the line in order to get to the exhibit floor.
No wild running or stampeding occuring.

That seems rather stupid. I mean, people get trampled enough as it is when they're rushing. Are they trying to create a Who Concert or a Game Convention here?

Jesus, you psychotic German assholes. Slow the hell down and try not to stampede over the people standing right in front of you. This is why we (the rest of the world) don't like you.

@PratzStrike: I'm glad there are people like you to tell people like me who I do and don't like.
Perhaps Crash was paid to be there, so maybe the staff started the run?

@ZeroBlade: And before I get attacked for my terrorism (anti-Americanism) that comment was very tongue-in-cheek and purposefully Ironic. Plus, I'm an arrogant American myself.

@PratzStrike: I assume you're American, as only an American (The ones actually hated by the rest of the world) would be so arrogant as to make that statement. Prejudice is a two street buddy!
Those people were clearly after Crash as payback for his last few games.

Crash pulls it all together. It needs Benny Hill music.
Maybe someone said David Hasselhoff was inside. We all know Germans LOVE David Hasselhoff.
