!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

The Best Buy demo kiosks added an absurd amount of shine to unworthy consoles. I'm still waiting on my $800 3D0. It can't suck if it's that expensive!? I played the Road Rash demo, mind you!

Sears is the one I remember using the most. My parents would let me hang out in the all but abandoned video game section while they bought a lawnmower, some pants or maybe a frying pan.

I definitely remember the lawnmowers. The pants. The apparently orgasmic tools. But I don't think mine had a kiosk. Honestly, I probably spent more time at neck-breaking Walmart kiosks than at any other.

That one was my favorite because I don’t think many knew it was there, the section was always empty, and in the years they had it, the thing kept working unlike all the other stores..

Ah, yes, the pain of having the "IS MY TURN!" talk with a terrible child you've never met.
