Seen @ Huntington GTA IV launch: A history of Nerf-related violence
However, the most disturbing sight seen at the launch is pictured above -- a tragic crime scene, just a few feet away from the store's registers. These two poor fellows were just mere moments from claiming their respective copies of the much anticipated title, leaving behind a puzzling forensic tableau. Hastily driving from the event with copies of Grand Theft Auto IV in hand, we were left with these pertinent questions:
- What kind of altercation could have lead to this unfortunate double homicide?
- What modifications were made to the pictured Nerf guns that imbued them with lethal force?
- What sort of Crime Scene Investigation squad leaves behind the murder weapons in such a public place?
- Most importantly, why did Gamestop remain open following this horrible act of violence?

Jack Thompson could use this post for his satanic worship.

Cmon Joystiq. I realize that GTA is an important game and all, but does there REALLY need to be 6 posts in a row about it?

Agreed, 100%, there should at least be 20.
^ is demeaning for this perfect game.

when did gta become csi?
Dxw @ Apr 29th 2008 4:09AM
Well it's obvious what happened. Those two guys found out it wasn't a good idea to cut a line made entirely of people just itching to start decapitating prostitutes, stealing cars, robbing and such.

The only reason I go in the shop is because I'm good friends with another employee there. Honestly I'd rather shop at Wal-Mart than any GameStop, and that's saying something.
