game mechanic telling me they don't work on Atari systems anymore despite me having no trouble taping the severed wires every time they're knocked loose

It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...
*sliding out on my back from under a jacked-up Dreamcast, overalls stained with oil*

hmmm... yup, looks like a busted disc-read laser. I got it on back order, might set you back a couple hundo

Hi... Yes this is Steve, you dropped your game off this afternoon? We did a complete play through and we couldnt recreate the issue. Y... Yes I know you couldn't get the blob out of the level 4 sewers. You have to use the blue jelly bean to float over the spikes... Okay... No my manager isnt available

*secretly replaces cartridge's functioning internal battery with a battery that's worn out*

Hey there, I went in and fixed that invalid memory bug you had, just gave the thing a good wipe and re-image. Don't worry, I grabbed your saves and reloaded them after the fact. Threw in a free outer shell polish, no charge. But, hey, listen, it says here that you've had the unit for only a few weeks, but that battery's worn to hell. Let me guess, eBay? Ha ha, yeah, you gotta be careful when picking up pre-owns. If you want I can replace the battery - normally that's $300 but I'll knock off 50, cause you seem like an alright guy and I know it's an inconvenience. No, thank you!

*comes into 6'x4' "office" that you have been sitting in alone for half an hour, removes oil stained gloves to reveal oil stained hands"
"Oooooookay so what you've got is a PS2 with a burnt out cartridge reader and overheating Blu-ray player. Now I can get it running again for you but it's going to require recalibrating the controller port and emptying the Ethernet jack of outdated packets. Now we've currently got a special going on so I can do all of this for you for a cool $980, and I'll even throw in a free FamiCom cartridge that has 72 games on it. You might have to jiggle the cartridge a bit to get it to work but once you've got it going you've got no less that 4 copies of wheel of Fortune on that cart to enjoy.

Alternatively I can rip apart some of the PS2s in the junkyard and find replacement parts, but it won't come with a warranty. That will only run you $960 so the savings might be worth it, but I'm not giving you the GamesPak D-Luxx if you go with that option. So what'll it be?"

Videogame Mechanic A : *calling his buddies over* "hey guys c'mere for a sec"

Videogame Mechanic A : "OK so could you explain the problem one more time?"

Me : "well every time I turn the console on it just does this" *freezes in place during alternating poses attempting to simulate a flashing screen*

Videogame Mechanic B : *snickering* did you try blowing out the cartridge

"So I bought this copy of Halo at your store, and I've been playing for like half an hour and my score is still 0000000. I think it's defective and I want my money back."

Being a videogame mechanic doesn't just mean you know what the turbo button does, it means you can make a better turbo button that's even less understandable

I got a letter from the government the other day

Sheesh you guys go to some shady places, no wonder your videogames are breaking down all the time. I only get mine serviced at the dealership.
