Theo Huxtable. Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 ANYONE NOTICE MOM&POP COMIC BOOK AND VIDEO GAME STORES ALWAYS HAS A FAT NERD IN HIS EARLY 30'S, USUALLY WHITE, BEHIND THE COUNTER? KINDA LIKE THAT FAT NERD ON THE SIMPSONS THAT WORKS AT THE COMIC BOOK STORE. I WAS AT SOME MOM&POP VIDEO GAME STORE AND SOME FAT NERD BEHIND THE COUNTER WAS GETTING INTO HEATED DEBATES WITH KIDS HALF HIS AGE ABOUT WHAT CONTROLLERS ARE BETTER OR WHAT GAMES ARE BETTER AND HOW MANY SCROLLS YOU NEED TO DEFEAT THE GOBLIN ON LEVEL 13 OR WHATEVER. ALSO, THESE FAT NERDS IN THEIR EARLY 30'S GENERALLY HAVE A BIG GULP DRINK NEXT TO THEM WITH A STRAW IN IT (NEVER IN A CAN). AND THEIR T-SHIRTS ALWAYS HAVE FICTIONAL CHARACTERS FROM ANIME, STAR WARS, VIDEO GAMES, AND SO ON. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weapon X Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Yeah, there's a pretty cool fat kid who works at my LCS. Last time I saw him, he was on the bus wearing a sweatshirt with the Green Lantern logo on it. And I was reading the latest Batman trade I had picked up.

AyeBee Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I wish I could be nerdy as those guys..I guess laughin at people for not knowin everythin about Star Wars is their way of makin up for gettin their asses kicked in high school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obvious Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I wish I could be nerdy as those guys..I guess laughin at people for not knowin everythin about Star Wars is their way of makin up for gettin their asses kicked in high school i swear man, they really do look down on you. i get the cold shoulder when i walk into eb games (fat nerds don't work at the chain stores as often; just nerds) just because i don't get into long conversations about megabits and graphic processors and final fantasy storylines and all that hoopla. if i buy a game they just get the game, give me the receipt without saying anything and give me cold looks. a nerdier guy buys it and the employees are all polite and cordial and excited about the game being bought.

Avancier2 Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Yea. Those dudes probably never get laid. But if they are the one who owns the spot, then they are better off than the fat nerdy dudes who dont and work for the guy who does. At least they are their own boss.

fermentor666 Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 The comic book shop that I go to weekly has two girls that work there regularly and one girl that works there every once in a while. No guys. There's no mom and pop video game stores around here but all the ones I go to have normal looking guys in their twenties and they're usually up for talking about current games with anyone. Except one place that was open for a while in Harvard Square that was a window shop with vintage games, the guy working there was definitly a fat guy in his 30's who was a real dick.

It's the same thing with any hobby. Say someone is better than you at basketball--the opposite type of thing as these comic guys-- and they're talking shit to you as if you're some inferior being. Does that make them a better person? It really throws people off when you acknowledge that they know something/are better than you at something but point out that it has nothing to do with real life.

Feel Good Lost Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 The guys at my local E.B. are pretty cool. The manager fits the simpsons comic book guy to a T though. They recomended this game. Fire! I agree completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovestick Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 When ebay was first getting huge I was working with this comic/baseball card store to move some shit online and get a little on the side. Anyways, I would go in once or twice a week to meet with the owner, but there was always this colossal 30 year old nerd working the register, just like in Simpsons or whatever. i later found out that he was paid to work full time with just packs of baseball cards... scary. He lived in a self storage unit with piles of trading cards and a few clothes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
