h Gord… Who is this Gord? Well, let me tell you about Gord.

took it upon myself to bring the slobbering masses into my embrace, and occasionally one aspiring demigod stood above the rest, and proved himself worthy of the name Owner. One of my most promising Keepers of the Retail Faith was The Gord. "Go," I said unto The Gord. "Go, and continue to give to the masses what they so richly deserve!" And he did.

ut the story was not yet over. For some time The Gord and I concurrently kept The Retail Faith. His Establishment maintained, surpassed and soon eclipsed mine in sheer Consumer Idiocy. Tales were told that begged disbelief. "No one," we thought, "Is really that stupid." But the stories continued, and the cries of the wretched grew louder and more plentiful. The stories were true: The Gord had become an Owner in Hell. Witness after Witness held forth tales of lunacy and mental vacuousness.

nd when I travelled from the hallowed halls of my Game Store and visited the Game Store of The Gord, the truth became apparent. I have no cause to disbelieve the veracity of the tales told here. The truth, it would certainly seem, is contained herein. Go now, and read of The Gord, and know that he has walked the path of the Game Store Owner, and that he has suffered for all of us.

knew him as Gord.  These were his stories.









Last Update:

September 10:

1.  Ryan continues to do his comic, having completed two series now.  Worth a read if you would like:  http://aog.2y.net/comic/Archive.html The forth series will be starting shortly.

2.  A number of Gord's old friends who have scattered far and wide apparently missed the memo on where Gord does his updates for what's he has been doing in Asia.  http://aog.2y.net/forums/index.php?showforum=5  For people who are not friends of Gord's but would like to read what Gord has been doing, please note that these Asian updates are of a very different nature than how his game store adventures were documented and have very little in common with this site.  It's mostly a collection of passive observations which would be the polar opposite of this site. 

3.  An edited copy of the book has been drafted and prepared for printing.  After one more editing overview, the book will be sent off for printing shortly.  A link to a site updating the status on a more daily basis will be added here in a few days.  More book information will also be added here at that time.

 

Really old news:

One more note:  A friend of Gord's is a woman named Stephanie.  She runs a company in South Korea that connects people who would like to teach English at private language institutions with the intuitions in question.  Seems she has a lot more schools than teachers these days, and has openings for about thirty people.  Got a degree?  A firm grasp on English?  A good attitude and want to travel the world?  Then send your resume to her email at apply @ ftunion.com.  You can also check out her website if you want at www.ftunion.com.  Airfare is free, and you get a rent-free apartment to live in while working over there.

If you do decide to forward your resume to her or just ask her general questions, you may want to mention you came to her via this site that way she doesn't accidentally assume you know everything about working overseas, thus she can keep you better informed as to how everything works.  She's an absolutely wonderful person that Gord speaks very highly of.
