I think the only reason that it sucks is because unless you really know a lot about games, and I mean a LOT, and about EVERYTHING, people will assume that you're an incompetent douche and treat you as such. I do hear that EB is way better than Gamestop.
In other news, operation went smoothly, i'm in pretty good shape so far. I've decided that I freaking love being anesthetized, and painkillers are freaking awesome. I got some pretty amazing pictures of me being an idort right after coming out of the anesthaesia. It's still too early to determine if it's going to be painful much or anything, and how swollen I'm going to get, so I'm going to hold off until this weekend when the worst of it is over and post a thread detailing my adventures, and photos, and such. Here's a teaser, though. This was taken almost immediately after I realized that I wasn't like, KO'd anymore, when my attendant left the room. I had trouble keeping my right eye open, and there's gauze in my mouth. My hair managed to get horribly messed up during the operation somehow, I didn't notice until I got home, so I normally don't look THAT silly.
