Hiya everyone. Good news is abundant at Bargain Bob's. For one, my comrade, Rob6264, has returned to help with the site (this should definatley get things going around here). Also, the hits seem to be growing each day, so its more than likely that some one will eventually sign up for a clerk job (if you wanna work at this site, check out the staff page). One last thing, i believe i have came up with a good ordering system for the site. It'll be implamented within the next day or so.

Well just as I might have feared, the site has already began to get hits. Thus, I am posting this update for all you visitors. The site IS NOT OPEN FOR SALE, but I am HIRING CLERKS TO RUN THE STORE. Currently I have 2 clerks on the roster, and I’m definitely looking for more. If you would like to apply for a job, GO TO THE STAFF PAGE to find out more.

Hey everyone! Bargain Bob's is back for the summer and better than ever. This year, things should run much more professionally. I have hired (and still hiring) several clerks that will handle field work opposed to my partner, Rob (AKA Hellraiser), and I, Old Skool (AKA King). Also, since the store owners wont be handling the physical selling of the items, we will have customer report polls that allow you to judge how well your clerk(s) performed at the place of sales. Another thing, after last year’s experience, I have realized that sales via email are just a bad idea. Thus, you will always have to receive items through a game of Diablo. When and where the sale takes place is up to you and your assigned clerk. Rob and I will handle all the paper/file work concerning the sale. When your purchase request has been processed, we will inform both you and your soon to be assigned clerk of your sale being processed.
This part of the site is based solely on the thoughts of Old Skool. It may not represent the thoughts of the site as a whole.
Women in Gaming: What the Hell?
First of all I would just like to make clear that the whole concept of women being treated unfairly in gaming is totally bogus. I have never seen a woman in a game being ridiculed or discriminated based on her sex. Hell, I don’t really understand where these girls are coming from. These women claim that females have been excluded from games through out the years. This statement is false. The first game I ever played was Super Mario Brother’s on NES, and the whole story was based on a woman, Princess Toadstool. Another good example is Zelda. The game isn’t called Link or the Legend of Link, its called Zelda (a woman if you don’t already know). What’s that? You think these female roles are too typical? Well, you all seem to have forgotten about Metroid. Yes, Metroid’s main character, the bad ass Samus, was in fact a girl. I can’t believe that women were ever concerned with the matter of girls in gaming.
As I pointed out earlier, women in Internet games are treated just like any one else. Hell, when guys find out there’s a girl in the game, they usually start rubbing their lucky pocket protector and begin hitting on the gal. Thus, if any one has the bad side of the deal, it’s the guys. We may be the main characters in the game a lot, but we’re always the bad guys. Normally about 300 of us get killed in the average action game as bad guys… The humanity!
