It’s a sad day when you discover the subject you think you’re a god in is the subject you’re only really really rediculously good at. My recent employment at EB Games is supposed to be a cake walk, but thanks to the barrage of questions thrown at me daily, I’ve come to realize I need to broaden my gaming knowledge.

I feel like I just found at that I’m really a white guy. That’s the half truth. I am a white guy, but only on the inside. I dare you to find a bigger uncle Tom than me. Hell, I can’t even genuinely rap along to 2Pac without my friends mocking me and/or giving me strange looks. Now that you know where I’m coming from, I’ll continue.

Today this guy asked me about a Zelda compelation disk I didn’t even know existed and when he called me out on the fact that I didn’t know about it, he might as well have kicked me in the nuts. I’ve played about four PC games since I converted to console gaming and this nerd totally floored me with his knowledge of strategy games. I freakin’ love strategy games! What the f*ck is my problem?! All I know is no one better ask me about any RPGs. That last one I’ve beaten is FFX. Pete, help me out here dude. Rescue me from the coming wave of embarassment.
