Surprised the title didn’t say “Yay! GameStop will close over 300 stores this year.”

Telling managers to defy police and local municipal orders sounds pretty frantic to me. 

This entire sentence is pretty unnecessary in the article:

Oh, that’s a perfect way to put it.

Yep.  He was the worst, because you had to make him want to come after you.  The game forced you to kick the hornet’s nest and then run.  

I couldn’t deal with this thing at ALL. I would drop the key every 3 seconds. I was so paranoid.

Unnerving, sure, but he’s really just a tamer version of Phanto, the floating mask from Super Mario Bros. 2. Now that was scary.
