Possibly the funniest "game" related story you read today...

Last year Steven Sather, 46, decided to go vigilante and take law into his own hands. After buying Cars, he was unable to install it on any of his computers. Pissed off and fed up, he brought his building code inspector badge and went to Target.

AHhahah, This is funny... here's the full article as quoted..

[quote]I know return policies suck. Maybe you didn't do your research before buying a loser game. Maybe you got fooled by hype, but I think all of us have wanted to take things into our own hands and force them to take their crap back.

Last year Steven Sather, 46, decided to go vigilante and take law into his own hands. After buying Cars, he was unable to install it on any of his computers. Pissed off and fed up, he brought his building code inspector badge and went to Target.

After being rejected, as expected, by the manager due to store policy, Sather whipped out his badge and began creating a scene. Posing as an off duty cop, he demanded a refund and threatened arrest. Nice try.

The ploy didn't work. Sather was facing a possible trial for impersonating a police officer. All over Cars. CARS...the GAME. He deserved to be arrested just for that.

Fast forward to now. The case has resulted in a hung jury, and now the DA's office is deciding whether or not they want to attempt further trial, or cut some sort of a deal with Sather.

Keep Sather in mind the next time you contemplate buying a movie tie-in game. Think of the possible consequences.[/quote]

so my shit is broken, i'm aware. The italics tags didn't work, bold tags didnt work didnt work...

Illiterate people are funny. When I worked on computers, I'd always have a good laugh at people coming to upgrade their PC's because they bought a shitty game that their shitty computer wouldn't run.

So you want a new graphics card and some RAM for that $50 piece of trash you just bought? Oh shit, looks like you're gonna need a whole new PC.

Up selling FTW!

That guy fails horribly.

PS, the bbcode only seems to work on single lines. If you want the whole thing italicized, you need to italicize each line... shittay, I know.

When I buy a sucky game, or a game that doesn't work, I just deal with it.
