Some people just hate stupidity...

The chronicles of a video game rental store, where one man takes a stand against Stupidity in all it's form.
Rather amusing.

I understand that there are Gamers

Follow the gord!
Sorry, "Life of Brian" reference. :)
I loved the [link|http://www.actsofgord.com/Annoy/chapter07.html|Modchip] discussion he has with a customer. Gee, you want me to sell something that will cause me to lose money and get me sued by Sony? Yeah right!
Also that [link|http://www.actsofgord.com/Donate/shirts.html|"Why didn't you love me?" Dreamcast T-Shirt] had me laughing for a while.

Actually, I knew several like her. Which means I have several chances of having known her.
