National Video Games Day

Holiday Insights brings word that today is National Video Games Day! In other news ... there's a National Video Games Day?

Quote:
Our extensive research into this special day discovered two separately distinct dates. Also, both dates for this special day refer to it as Video Games Day and National Video Games Day. Based upon our research results, we give the edge to September 12th as National Video Games Day. Lucky gamer that you are, you get to celebrate two video games days.
While I seriously doubt the validity of this, we can all use a reason to play more games. Being a holiday it's your right as an American to have a marathon game session today. Enjoy the holiday everyone!

The funny thing is, I was going to take tomorrow off sick, and I don't work Fridays.

Don't tell anyone.

Why the fuck am I going to school. This is madness. According to my religion, I must rest on Videogames day. My school district does not respect my religion. This is not Kosher.

Everything has to have a day. I can't wait until cotton candy day, which happens to fall on December 7th, of all days (remember Pearl Harbor! Eat cotton candy??).

Is it just me, or when someone gets banned (like locky up there) do you have this strange desire to know what specifically he did this time to get banned?

On the actual subject matter, I don't think a National VG Day is appropriate. I think a worldwide date would be more fitting in the culture of Video Games.

It's about god damned time!

In all seriousness, there should be a month long holiday for gamers. Whataburger should be half price, Taco Bell should deliver, and Red Bull should be given out at every street corner.

I would probably be dead at the end of that month.

He made a racist remark. And it wasn't the first time.
