2K Games HQ scorched in fire

Millions of gamers have spent many frustrating hours trying to beat the final level of Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which has game hero CJ fighting his way through a burning building. In an ironic twist of fate, the building that houses Rockstar's corporate sibling, 2K Games, was ravaged by fire over the weekend. According to the New York Post and other outlets, the multistory building at 575 Broadway, where 2K Games' offices are located, was "gutted" by a five-alarm inferno on Saturday night. FDNY spokesman Jim Long told the Post that it took 198 firefighters and 44 trucks to put out the blaze. "It's pretty nasty," he said. The extent of damages to the 2K offices was unclear as of press time.
