[Ack]

I was about to say, those look like the mice that developed tumors from eating genetically modified corn. The reaction is similar to those rodents which were given pesticides in increased dosages in their drinking water. My question concerning the genetically modified corn is whether the tumors are caused by the corn, or if the corn is passing along the pesticides they are resistant to.

It will be many years before a consensus is reached, by then it will be too late anyway

Those rodent's depress me. I need something more upbeat.

Is this real life?



In the year of our Lord 2012, Babbage's "America's Software Headquarters" lives on.

I made a quick extraction of craigslist goods en route to the homestead this evening when I decided to make a brief pit stop at the Colonial Park Mall in Colonial Park, PA. This particular mall is situated in an out-of-the-way location from my home and work, but I figured since I was local I'd stop in for a quick walk-through. I'm glad I did. I know this is merely Gamestop under a moniker of ye olden days, and none of the contents in the store are by any means old school, obviously. I had just hoped, if only for a moment, that I'd proceed through the threshold and find myself enveloped in a swirling gaming haze circa 1990's. Reality soon set in as I - well, just look at the pictures. Still.....that sign!

The manager (guy in last pic) was super cool. We talked about the good old days, and how he purchased Super Mario Kart at this very store some 20 years ago! He also explained how the regional manager was pushing to have the sign removed, and how he made the counter argument that a large decal on the store window with the GS branding would allow them to retain the old school flavor. We'll see how long that lasts.

There very well might be dozens of Gamestop locations running under the old Babbage's flavor, but I haven't stepped foot inside one since the Dreamcast launch. *le sigh*

That's cool that he's fighting to keep the old bits as he can.

It would be nice if there was a list online somewhere where you could see all the GS locations that are still called EB or Babbages.

A quick search brought this up: http://find.mapmuse.com/map/babbages I'm shocked. Surely other members here can verify some of these locations.
