Not that anybody cares, but I thought I'd update everybody anyway, since I did mention the DLP TV drama here before, and maybe it will help somebody down the line.

So I've been spending a couple days roaming around London and Paris, and I've noticed a few things. Gaming ads, displays, and shops are a lot less prolific here in Europe than they are in the U.S. Even walking around Piccadilly Circus, you don't see the same presence from video game companies as you...
