One for the geeks
This is how they cool down their XBox 360s in Shanghai.
Why they do this, I don’t know.
The shop I took this in is the place I buy my Nintendo Wii stuff from. It’s full of menboys in the early 20s, who smoke and play video games from morning until night, or I suppose until their Mum calls them home for tea. I’m a software engineer and even I think they’re geeks.
The only way to tell which of the trogolodytes is a customer and which work there is to try and open the glass cabinets (full of steering wheels, Wii Fit, and every colour of PSP known to humanity) and see which one of them starts smoking faster in a panic. Cheap, pirated games though, so it’s worth a visit if you’re into that kind of thing.
