About Me
Hi. I write shit for Japanator. I'm also putting words here out of penis envy.

Games? I get imaginarily hard for Final Fantasy and most other Squenix products. The rest is subject to change without notice, unless it's got Bleach in it. Then I'll hit it like a disobedient prostitute.

Stupid kids don't deserve entertainment?

So, this guy in Dallas has made up a new rule that just might get him in massive trouble with Gamestop: Brandon Scott manages a Gamestop, and wants kids to get good grades, so he implemented a policy in which...I guess the kid just has to have an adult vouch for their good grades, but either way, that's a prerequisite for buying games.

(I can just see it now, especially if this spreads to Austin: "Hey, Mr. Wino! I'll give you a dollar if you come say I'm the smartest kid in school!")

Bullsheet. And he's giving kids a free game if they bring in a signed report card with all A's and a parent. Guess what? Gamestop itself didn't even know about this! Bend over, Mr. Scott.

This makes sense. This guy was trying to do the right thing, and it backfired. I wouldn't want idiots playing games anyway. Imagine, eliminating all the douchebaggy 12 year olds from Halo or Gears.

This dude's in trouble with the higher-ups in his company, but I have the applaud the guy for trying.

Actually, I think this policy should go into effect for every store. Children should be penned up outside and beaten while I am free from their mindless screaming and getting in my way while I purchase products.

I swear the next kid that makes me almost fall over by unning past me is getting a face full of my shoe. And then that slack-jawed kid's parents will eat a faceful of my other shoe. I have lost all patience for it.

Yeah, encouraging kids to actually do well in school is truly a terrible thing.
