I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday weekend. My jeans might not fit today, but all the turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans, stuffing I engulfed was well worth the pounds. Of course, the big story in the world of video games isn’t about Thanksgiving but the day after.

All kinds of retail stores had insane electronics sales for the day known as ‘Black Friday’. The deals being exceptionally good this year because of items being overstocked. Mostly due to our tough economic times. This of course leads to massive crowds, and people creating herds running through stores (I like to think of the Wildabeast scene from Lion King), trying to be the first to grab that special item they’ve been salivating over.

This year the idea of Black Friday craziness was taken to a whole new level. One Wal-Mart worker was killed after being trampled by a mob of shoppers looking to get into the retail store when it opened. There was a shooting that occured at a Toys-R-Us, though according to reports it wasn’t over anything consumer related. But still, does that even matter?

My Black Friday favorite this year comes in video form though. This video is taken of shoppers trying to grab at the Guitar Hero/Xbox 360 bundle. Something about actually being able to see it, takes it to a whole new level. I like the guy towards the end with the hat on, running towards the camera looking like he will forearm anyone that gets in his way.

So, did anyone go out and join in on the Black Friday craziness this year? If so, please share any and all stories. Even if you were the one doing the pushing and shoving.
