News in Brief: Area man needs two more trips to Best Buy to beat Xbox 360 game
MONROEVILLE, Pennsylvania -- Local resident Ronald Franks could be as little as two Best Buy visits away from completing the Xbox 360 video game Gears of War, Franks said Tuesday. "I told [wife] Susan not to expect me for dinner tonight, because right now I'm at the Train Wreck and I'm about to take on a Berserker," said Franks, 35, who has been playing the game daily for nearly three weeks and brings his own memory card from home. "I'm thinking I can get through that pretty quickly because I'll use my sniper rifle. Then it's right to Troika Central to get to the main boss, General RAAM. I'll probably take a personal day to defeat RAAM." According to Susan Franks, he also spends several hours each weekend at a nearby Barnes & Noble copying the Gears of War Official Strategy Guide onto a legal pad he brings along with him.

I wonder if he can "get a life" at Best Buy. I'm sure if he's successful the world will be a better place.
Actually Cliff, I'm amazed at what he's accomplished. Through all that dorkiness, he found someone to marry him.
Dude, the people who are now in line for the July 21 release of the new Harry Potter book think you are giving geeks a bad name.
It's good to know that your mother......err, wife is taking all this in stride. |
