It’s official: Games are mainstream culture.
I was riding the BART on my way to work one morning last week, when a well-dressed woman in an off-white business suit got on at the Embarcadero station. She gave a brief glance over the car, assessing the distribution of riders. Being either too shy or too stubborn to sit next to a complete stranger, she chose to remain standing, wobbling back and forth on her three-inch heels under the train’s acceleration. While awkwardly clinging to the support post she reached in her purse and produced a compact, lipstick and eye-liner. She then opened the compact and proceeded to re-apply her… wait. That’s not a compact… it’s a pink DS Lite.
