“Hold me!” Our pal and favorite bartender Scott didn’t win the copy of “GTA IV,” but we let him touch it anyway.
 
Couch Potatoes dropped in on the New World Brewery last night, and the only thing flowing more freely than the beer taps was the geek talk. As it turns out, even a discussion of how ridiculously high gas prices can help the video game industry is tolerable when you’re washing it down with a sweet Lagunitas Copper Ale.

But the real reason we were in Ybor on a Thursday night—other than to sip a smooth Black Bavarian and listen to the New World’s killer jukebox—was to name the winner of our “Grand Theft Auto” giveaway.

We tossed the names in a hat, mixed ‘em around and blindly plucked out one lucky reader: Melisa Taylor of Tampa!

Congrats to Melisa, and thanks to everyone who commented and/or came out.

Oh, and keep an eye out for our next contest. We’re thinking about giving away a copy of “Metal Gear Solid 4” to anyone who can sneak into our office and take it without being seen. Rumors that we’re going to require participants to have a Liquid Snake-style arm transplant are entirely exaggerated.
