Jason: Uh, yeah, I saw it. Thanks, Dave.
David: Good, good. I'll let you get to it, then.
(Jason sighs, and begins to type frantically.)
Alisha: Heyyyyy, Jason, did you see the mem--
Jason: For the love of God, yes. I'm on it.
Alisha: No need to snap, Jason. Sounds like someone has a case of the Fridays.
(Jason mumbles as Alisha walks away. JC and Eric approach.)
JC: I can't believe it. I told those fudgepackers I liked JC's music. Me! I've never despised any form of sensory input as I do those songs.
Eric: Why don't you just change your name then?
JC: No way. Why should I change?
Eric: I think he's dead, man.
Jason (pausing from his work): Who are you talking about? I can't even think of any musical artists named JC ....
JC: You know. Christian rock?
Jason: Oh.
Eric: Hey, at least people can pronounce your name, Fletcher. I mean, what's so hard about Caoili? Cay-Oh-Lee. Caoili.
Jason: Hey, can you guys check the Airport connection on this Mac? It's like, broken or something.
JC: Apple loadletter? What the f*** does that mean?
Eric: That thing is lucky I'm not armed.
Jason: Didn't you buy a handgun last week?
Eric: Friggin'! You're right!
(Eric takes out a handgun and goes on a MacBook obliteration rampage.)
Jason: You know, screw these posts. I'm just not going to do them anymore.
JC: You mean you're going to quit?
Jason: No, I'm just ... not going to do them.
JC: Alisha's gonna get angry at you, you kno ... oh, crap, here she comes now.
Alisha: Jason, I think it's time we had that little talk--
(Jason punches Alisha in the face. She collapses to the ground, bits of flair landing around her.)
JC: Whoa.
(James approaches.)
James: Has anyone seen my stapler ...?
Jason: You write on a blog, James. You don't work with paper.
James: I could ... I could set it on fire...
Jason: What, the internet? Good luck with that one, buddy.

I'm deducting 1 gold star sticker for use of the term "fudgepacker", otherwise effing hilarious!

Everyone but Game Boys, surprisingly all of them, went down. I blame redirected shipments for Super Paper Mario and Pokemon D/P. But that still doesn't account for Sony's decreases.

I'm just mad I had to be the "case of the Mondays" chick.
Mr Khan @ May 19th 2007 5:08PM
Simple: its the week after golden week, these decreases are just the regular "everything's back to normal" decrease

Hell, Wii sales are down 48% and 48,000 units, but the Wii STILL outsold the PS3 by a margin of nearly 600%. LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Yeah, last week would be something like seeing a game sales spike in easter or something. However, publishers and hardware makers over here in Blighty hold the opinion that nobody will buy anything until christmas. Games drought? Yes there is, but there's one on everything else too.
