Game Store Horror Stories

Something Awful: "You'd think that people who willingly classify themselves as gamers would rank "playing video games" at the top of their list of fun activities, but it falls somewhere behind gettin' mad about video games on internet forums, building impossible-to-meet expectations, and bitching about video game stores.

The type of person who complains about their shopping experience is a special breed of nerd. One must be antisocial, but not enough to stay home and buy games online. Offenses - both real and imaginary - must be perceived with crystal clarity and stored in memory for future reference and embellishment, but not responded to in any meaningful way when they actually happen. Dragon shirts must be tucked into grey stonewash jeans.

For eight years I have observed some of the most popular gaming forums, carefully preserving every video game retailer horror story that I came across for future generations. These are some of the most fascinating entries in my collection."
