I just sat on the outside of the wall of jeans and dirty t-shirts and listened to my brother kill that machine. The guys who were punching him started slapping him on the same shoulder and saying stuff like, "Nice man, fucking nice!" After a time, everyone was really silent. The whole crowd was totally into the game until he passed some level and some sort of screen intermission was going on that nobody had seen before. Everyone went nuts, like a Playboy popped up on the screen. Some guys were even jumping and high-fiving each other like they had anything to do with my brother's game. I guess it's kind of like sports. Some couldn't even move, and leaned over frozen and glued to the screen, or maybe they just didn't want to give up their good seats. Maybe today would be history. I wondered if we were watching my brother get the highest score ever.
