got me a nice shelf cheap and on clearance!

A $40+ shelf down to $7.50!

I like it when old stock is forgotten for me to find at my job!

I'm gonna put it together and finally post my room up here on Racketboy.

I knew gamestops labels are crappy and leave sticky paper on the game case.

but these new big labels they're making are worse!

I'm peeling it off on some games I just got, and I can only imagine in a few years when I find used games, they're gonna have an even bigger white area of semi peeled sticker.

Dammit gamestop!

Why in the fuck is my main competitor trying to lose money? Must be going after market share as no way can they profit on $2.99 shipping on all orders. They'd have to sell 5x's the product just to break even, and that's not happening.

Weird.

The Gamestops around here have all been using the white labels for some time. I don't mind them because a regional used game store chain in town uses even larger and cheaper labels that never come off clean. I was talking to a manager at the one locally owned game shop in town and they said easily half of their employees' time is used peeling off those damn stickers.

I'm still really bummed about the loss of Patrice O'Neal.

From hacks, no sense, non funny, bull shit trolls, to the hecklers off stage at shows, Patience really put into words what I think about jerks:

"If I'm bombing, I'm not going to try to win you back, especially when you have anonymity. Take me down one on one, fine I don't care, but in an audience, I'll take you down with me. You try to break me down? Realize that for every one person that agrees with you, who is usually a fucking weak person, ten people think you're an asshole but won't say it, because they're too good to, unless it is behind your back. But because I see the people who love me, there is no way I will stop trying to state my opinion".

Abrasive, aggressive, and to the point without an inch of being arrogant or not open minded.

Man my little brother is the antithesis of racketboy. Pretty much your typical "brogamer". Only plays Call of Duty, etc.

He came by today and wouldn't shut up about jtagging so he can cheat online at CoD or something.

I want to show him the path to tr00 gaming but the kid doesn't even know what a Sega Saturn is :(.
