For people who have worked in retail sales or game rental stores before, Acts of Gord is the bestest thing since Ninja Rap.
I actually ordered the Dreamcast "Why didn't you love me?" shirt from the site. I got it TWO months after I ordered it, and they didn't bother to include the teardrop on the DC logo like I asked. At that point, I didn't care because I was surprised that I actually got the shirt (forgot about ordering it when it came in my mailbox). At least I have something to show off at E3 2003.
Heh, I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed Gord's stories read alot like "what I would have done, if only".
They always seem to end with him winning verbal battles with his witty reparte, chasing down teenage thieves, and triumphing in unarmed combat against gangs of thugs. As soon as I read the story about how he entered a high school and roughed some kid up, I filed everything he's written under 'fiction'.
And bbobb, as if you're Batman. He'd never give his secret idewntity away like that. Liar.
Trust me.Quote:

bbobb IS Batman, I mean I would know: after all I AM Ro....

*runs out*
I love Gord's page. Even thought I'm sure it's 30% fiction, and even though he HATES Sega with some unnatural passion, the page is still funny as hell. :)
I just read his store's located in Canada - anybody have any idea where it is? (I'd love to go in there and steal a playstation game or something, wave it in front of his face and see if the situation really does turn into Mortal Kombat).
you mean like when he beat down 2 thugs who both had lead pipes and he was un armed cause i mean that just happens every dayQuote:

Good luck doing that. He has sold the store to someone else a while back and moved to Thailand some months ago. The site said he moved again, but it wasn't clear if he's still in Thailand.Quote:

Oh, I'm more than certain that he bends the truth until it just about breaks in two. What about the one story where he beats down two big guys with his "kung-fu skills"?Quote:

The Gord hopped over the counter and exited the store. He quickly caught up to the two would be thieves across the street from the staircase exit to a lower level nightclub.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" queried the Gord in a most unpleasant fashion.
"We're just walking" was the response.
"Trying to kick down doors is a part of your walk!?" questioned the Gord.
"You want trouble? You got trouble!" spoke one of the two individuals that Gord had stopped. The individual pulled out a metal pipe from his jacket.
The Gord was curious why he hadn't used that to try and take the door down.
Anyway, the vandal wasn't very proficient in using a weapon and levelled it above his head in a threatening fashion. Fortunately the Gord was trained for just this scenario. He stepped in, ensured the arm could not swing the pipe at the Gord while the Gord's other hand came up and proceeded to send the vandals nose into his cranium. The stories are true. When you do that to a person there truly is blood everywhere.
While the vandal was dropping back and screaming in pain as his blood went everywhere, the second vandal stood in surprise. Before the first person even hits the ground the Gord side kicked the second person in the chest and send him careening down a cement staircase.
The conflict was resolved in two hits. The Gord was 2 and 0.
The Gord picked up the pipe and returned to the store. Shortly there after the police and paramedics arrived. According to one of the officers on the scene a group of four guys gang beat up the two guys. Or at least, that was their story.
For if you cross the Gord, the Gord shall strike you down!
Uh-huh. Suuuure. You go, Jet Li. :rolleyes:
I think the real story goes something like this:
"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" queried the Gord in a most unpleasant fashion.
"We're just walking" was the response.
"Trying to kick down doors is a part of your walk!?" questioned the Gord.
"You want trouble? You got trouble!" spoke one of the two individuals that Gord had stopped. The individual pulled out a metal pipe from his jacket.
The Gord promptly urinated in his pants, and then ran his fat virgin ass back into his little game store to comfort himself with many, many Twinkies.
Yup. Sounds about right. :)
:lol: Dude's played a bit too much Combatribes.
