There was some punching and kneeing and someone pushed Derek over the chair behind him and he fell and hit the Galaga game and cut his face open (I was kind of glad to see that). All of the yelling was with voices that were confused and scared as though they were losing something very important. I thought, "It's just a stupid game most of you guys don't even play anymore." But it sounded like there really was a Playboy in the middle and every 12 to 16 year-old guy had one hand on it. Then I heard a new sound, one that I'm used to hearing a lot, but not when my brother plays -- I heard the sound of Pac Man dying, four in a row, really fast. Whoever had his hand on the control couldn't play to save his life, or Pac Man's , I guess. And theit was done. The game and every thing stopped, I couldn't ever remember hearing any noises from the other other games.
