Apex Legends fanatic hijacks airport screen to play before his flight Respawn Entertainment \/ PixabayOne Apex Legends fanatic couldn\u2019t wait to start playing his favorite game again, taking over a screen at Portland International Airport to get in a game or two before being kicked off by security. While some people complain about airplane legroom, or overly priced food at airports, one of the most annoying things about travelling can be the long waits for your flight. Unless you have a Nintendo Switch or a powerful laptop on hand, gaming can seem so far away while you are waiting for the final call. However, this one traveler decided that he couldn\u2019t wait to land and play some Apex Legends. Initially reported by KXL News, a traveler flying out of Portland International Airport in the early hours of January 16 hooked up his PS4 to one of the hundreds of airport screens to play a game or two before his flight. The traveler sat happily in front of the departures board, transforming the terminal map into World\u2019s Edge while waiting for his flight. He made himself comfortable in the rather quiet spot and kept to himself, until airport security came by. They politely asked the player to unplug his console from the monitor so it could go back to showing other passengers around the terminal. \u201c[They] very kindly asked this person to unplug and cease using the monitors at the airport,\u201d said Kana Simonds, a spokesperson for the Port of Portland. While the man asked if he could finish his game, the staffers said no, leaving the player to abandon his game and pack up shop. \u201cApparently it was a very polite and cordial interaction,\u201d she said. However, it\u2019s also a \u201cgood reminder of what not to do at the airport.\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s obviously something that we don\u2019t want to have happened because travelers need the information that we are putting on the screens for them,\u201d she said. \u201cPower outlets for charging your phones? Absolutely. But not any other screens or monitors.\u201d So while the traveler sadly couldn\u2019t become the champion of that round, he is a hero for the gamers around the world who wish they could get a round or two in before a long haul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
