If you're overweight and don't use deodorant, it's time to apply at EB Games.
There is not a more disgusting place to buy over-priced video games than Electronics Boutique (or as it's now calling itself, EB Games). There is one in my local mall and every time I am in there, there is some obese game nerd at the counter. Sometimes it's a man, sometimes a bitchy woman, but no matter because they both smell really bad.
But, I am a good person, so I have taken it upon myself to redesign their store-front in order to better reflect an actual EB shopping experience:
I see so many of their cheesy commercials on TV and they are driving me insane. All their commercials are the same, but they are filmed with different people and dialogue. If you think you've only seen one of their commercials, you're wrong... you've probably just don't realize how many you've seen.
There are three elements to every EB commercial:
1. Some stupid kid asking about a video game.
2. Some old person that doesn't know what they are talking about.
3. Some EB employee who over-enthusiastically explains the kids question, all while licking the ass of video game companies by promoting their shitty titles.
Sound familiar? Yeah, I bet it does. I can't wait until this store goes bankrupt. Once people start realizing that you can get really cheap video games (and everything else) online, all of these shitty stores will have to shape up or shut down.
Speaking of online shopping. It still boggles my mind at how people are still scared of ordering stuff from the internet. Every once in a while, I run into someone that refuses to give out credit information online. And every time I question this, they say, "I worry because I don't know where that information is going and who is seeing it."
Well, guess what: You know that gas station you just bought some car oil from? Even though it was only a few bucks, your lazy ass decided to use a credit card. The guy at the counter saw your credit card number. In fact, he has a copy of the receipt that has your credit card number printed on it. For all you know, he could have one time been put in jail for credit fraud... but no worries, as long as your are physically there, nothing will happen. Right?
Yet you are too scared to use your credit card number on a website like Amazon who have millions of customers who shop there all the time and never have any problems. It worries you that they might take your credit card number and steal all your money, even though their company makes more in one hour more than you will ever make in your lifetime.
Those people piss me off.
