You're not a real fan

Think you're a hardcore? These extreme gamers will make you question your loyalty and devotion

Words: Tyler Nagata, GamesRadar US

You don’t hate Gamestop enough

Every hero needs a villain and every fan with any love in their heart also needs a target to hate. For many gamers, the hate-filled ‘ying’ that brings balance to their love-filled ‘yang’ is fueled by their disdain for the soulless corporate machine known as GameStop.

It’s the place where you can sell your old games for a pittance and buy decent used ones for a few dollars less than a new copy. It’s also the best place to go to watch underpaid clerks provide free childcare as busy mall-going parents take advantage of the retailer’s unofficial leave-your-screaming-brats-here-and-forget-about-them policy.

Above: This chart clearly indicates the direct relationship between a fan’s love for games and his/her hatred for GameStop

You could join the masses by writing yet another vitriolic forum post about how GameStop ruined your life with a bungled reservation or misinformed employee. But why bother? Instead, take a tour through Gamestopsucks.blogspot.com. It’s your one stop resource for everything you hate about the retailer that sells what you love the most. You may think you hate Gamestop too, but we guarantee you that the site’s main contributers hate it about a bazillion times more than you and they’ve got the posts to prove it.

In your rush to post "YAY FIRST COMMENT" it seems as though you have double posted.

That Zelda girl, DOES NOT LOOK LIKE ZELDA!
I don't understand how you can possibly do this, because Anime should stay in fiction and not turned into something for ugly humans to look like.

man im stunned i have to argue with it right now not enough with the possibility of some ppl think that hinaXrock is even imaginable (i think i can counter every dam arguement for that if there are any) and get rewarded for it but also there are some nerds in my school that i pwn in every thinkable way about games but you give them credit for being better than me cuz they think that they are different colored links all the time and get mad when some other classmate tease them with saying that there is a pink link if thats even a bit true im gonna cry of pure sadness
