Vaguely but I didn't get into it. Gords aren't my thing.

Added: after clicking around a bit, no, I was getting confused with something else.

Gord is basically 50 Foot Ant but with movie rentals instead of the military.

Let me save you some time. Every story on that site is, "One time this little punk shoplifted from my video store so I followed him back to his high school and assaulted him in the hallway and all the other students and the teachers and the principals applauded because I'm so badass then I rode off on my Harley doing a wheelie in the hallway while flipping the bird."

Is he the one that made the post about saying a wise crack in a movie theater that was so good everyone stood up and applauded?

I remember reading the original threads. Goons immediately heralded Gord as their nerd king and then almost as quickly turned on him and ran him off the forums. The moral of the story is goons are stupid lemmings prone to group-think.

Not gonna lie, OP. I thought you were going to say something to make the site sort of relevant again. Like maybe he died. Did he die? I'm just going to assume he's dead.

# ? Sep 18, 2015 13:30

Yeah, because he was a pompous douche. What did goons expect? He made an entire website regaling everyone with how he's the coolest game shop owner in the world.

I was hoping for "caught with child pornography" or assaulting a 12 year old.

Yeah, I did it. Someone posted a link to his website, everyone loved it, I e-mailed him and said "Hey, come to the forums", goons hated meeting their hero. Incidentally, I met him in person once, he was halfway between the bro that talks constantly about all the mad hot pussy he gets, and an awkward video-game nerd.

Yeah it was something like that. When someone posted the original thread about him people were all "BUY THAT GUY AN ACCOUNT" so somebody did

Turns out that some guy that makes up bullshit stories about his adventures owning a video game shop would also be a really lovely poster, who knew

With today's high bandwidth, I wouldn't have thought LAN Parties were really still a thing.

I remember going to some when I was younger. A local community college (Daniel Webster College in Nashua!) where I grew up had a buncha nerds doing Quake/Half Life LAN Parties every Friday (or Saturday?) LOL at the nerds, but as a 16 and 17 year old it was pretty cool poo poo.

Then I started getting laid and stopped playing video games.

StarCraft 2's lovely DRM bullshit killed the LAN party.

I remember during TF or Capture the Flag, whenever I'd use the grappling hook to absolutely demolish someone, one fat, angry nerd a few rows away would go ape poo poo. So naturally I targeted him. At one point he throws his headphones, slams the keyboard, knocks over some chairs, and stepped out for some air.

Good times.

LAN parties own even to this day because if somebody's griefing you to the point it actually disrupts your enjoyment you can literally punch them upside the fuckin' head.

*Insert story about how one time I totally owned this guy at a LAN party so hard everybody stood up and applauded*
