After the initial excitement of returning to campus wears off, students begin to seek refuge and escape from their classes. One form of escapism comes when playing video games.

Think about a one-console future. Over-quoted development studio heads Dennis Dyack and David Jaffe's have done it. Zealous industry types are probably plotting the possibility right now.

SUBOG's only "Drive-In Movie" of the semester was a bit of a failure Sunday night when many frustrated attendees left early for numerous reasons. It would have been a chilly but lovely evening to snuggle up and watch 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' on Dow Field, but technical difficulties ended up causing almost the entire audience to stampede toward the Student Union and find other plans.
