Oh No, not the Assholery Clowns!

"No, but you've all but admitted it, Dolores Umbridge, who else would think that?!"

Yeah, real "manly" and "technical". So of course he continues to yell at you because you, a mere woman, had the nerve to tell that MANLY MAN that he was Doing It Wrong.

Good grief, it makes even my customers sound sane and rational.

Amazing how many people conjured images of Umbridge.

Manly in this case translates to, "I don't want to admit to a woman I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about."

You forgot Chuck Norris (who, by the way doesn't do push ups' he is actually pushing the world away from himself).

Hope Clark Kent never decides to tone up with a few push ups then

I would venture to guess this guy is still a virgin because he doesn't know he has to plug his "joystick" into a "slot."

Damn! Beat me to it

[ackmeow]

Wow.

All I can say.

Gotta admire how dumb people are and continue to be. Yes, there's no way someone with boobs could possibly know anything about video games, computers, comic books, or anything else deemed a "male" area of expertise. Hell, some guys don't know their way around their own dicks - I know more than one guy who does not know the difference between circumcised and uncircumcised.

Talking about old-school games makes me want to bust out the Sega Genesis, but it's gonna have to wait until I've had my fill of Crazy Taxi on the Dreamcast.

I'm still bemused at 'Assholery Clowns'.....

I don't ever remember seeing THEM at the circus.

Would you really want to?! Ordinary clowns are scary enough!

A few years ago I bought one of those joystick thingies at Toys R' Us that had old Activision games on it. It was pretty amazing for a while.

I remember that. I think I was tempted to buy it, but now I'm glad I didn't because I have an iPad and I bought an Atari games app that plays a lot of the old Atari and Activision games.

Holy crap. I don't think I've EVER had a video game SYSTEM that only had built in games. Even my Telstar Arcade (photo here) had triangle shaped cartridges that fit into the top. Was PONG the last system he ever owned???

The old Vectrex system had a built-in game that was a different version of Asteroids. I remember playing it in the department store while my Dad would look around elsewhere.

Here's the link to the Wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vectrex

I'm baffled by people that STILL think girls know nothing about video games or computers. It's not 1995 anymore - everyone's online. My grandmother is 80-something and has no problems using Facebook and Photoshop. I've been online myself for more than 20 years at this point.

OMG GURL NOZ GAYMZ!!1! should have gone the way of the dodo by now.

In my hometown, the flea market has a ton of old school SNES games. SC's like him are laughable though some ways they make you wanna choke them. *hands mint oreos*

[Moosenogger]

SC: No, you cow! The screen is just blue! Sigh, this is why I need to speak to the tech, it's MANLY problems, y'know!

I don't get it. All he has to do is stick one specifically-shaped item into a similarly shaped hole. How is that a manly probl-

OH. Oh. I see.

[Brojekk]

I told the SNES story to my ultra-gamer nephew. He decided the guy should NOT be allowed to own any gaming system ever. Period. I completely agree with him!

Your nephew is 100% correct.

[Ironclad Alibi]

SC: DAMN IT! FRICKIN' F*#%IN' DOUCHING ASSHOLERY CLOWNS! Why didn't anyone TELL ME that I needed GAMES!? Why aren't they BUILT IN?!!!
(Random enraged bull sounds)

Me: At the risk of sounding rude sir, what did you think the slot in the top was for?

SC: Well HOW THE HELL SHOULD I KNOW. Toast, I guess.

[MoonCat]

That....is a whole lot of suck.

And...toast? I...what....how...??? Even "WTF" doesn't cover that one.

SUPER NINTENDO FAIL GUY


SC: No, you cow! The screen is just blue! Sigh, this is why I need to speak to the tech, it's MANLY problems, y'know!

Me: (what, the cord is limp? I thought blue fixed that issue) Okay, well until you tell me what's wrong, I can't begin to help you. Let me ask this; Does it have all it's wires plugged in correctly?

TOAST???

Oh, and I LOVE the limp cable comment - having been a female programmer back in the early 80's, you have my deepest sympathies for putting up with those males who still seem to think anything computer, electronic or game related must have testosterone mixed with the electricity to run. Back then we just assumed they'd go the way of the dinosaurs by the turn of the century, it's amazing how they're still around

Holy crap. I don't think I've EVER had a video game SYSTEM that only had built in games.

My very first game console played pong on my TV. Built in, no cartridges. Of course, that was back in the mid 70's, when sitting at a table in a bar that doubled as a pong game was the height in technology, and Ataris were just being introduced. I got the game as a prize for hosting a Tupperware party with very high sales
