    You see, in fictional video games like mario brothers, god is the final boss and god is also the main character (aka 'him').
    And so, because the protagonist, god, wants to kill the final boss, god, god wants to kill video games, because god kills god.

    Whats not to understand?

    Nope. Not guilty.

    First thing I did was run IPs and cross-referenced activity.

    Though I fully expect Needler to attempt a return of some sort, him knowing that you're still here is probably eating away at him.

    Probably :P

    He's been rather quiet on cheap ass gamer, which is another place that he really likes to give me a hard time. I'm pretty sure he tried to register on TCP, but I know virtually everyone on that forum, and even if managed to get registered, he'd last about 5 minutes

    Ahh, now I get it. It must have been the improper grammar in "characters" that threw me off.

    Um... Not to be stupid, but how can you deny the existence of a thread that you posted in?

    When a thread is as stupid as this it defies ALL logic.

    God's revenge...?

    Sounds like we need a little God Medicine in order to clear that up.

    Actually, it wasn't the grammar that was the culprit, it was because I forgot to type a single important word that prevented the sentence from being understandable: kill

    What I meant is that fictional characters kill God in video games, so God kills video games in real life.

    Anyway, I edited my first post.

    On topic, I have read about many valuable game collections that have gone up in smoke or stolen but I cannot for some reason find those threads again using Google.

    I wonder if it's God working his mysterious ways again...

    I'm leaning toward pharmaceuticals being the actual culprit.

    Stuff like the story in the OP make me wonder if private collections for irreplaceable items is a really wise idea. Thank goodness for ROM dumps anyway. And make sure your wiring is good, and unplug stuff you aren't using...the same old stuff I always say.

    I forgot to write it in my first post but not only did we lose the game collection, the owner suffering burns, and his customers also affected, but the game community lost as a whole because the game owner was planning to properly document all the items he owned (including rare things that have little to no information on the internet).
