A recent bit of sad news: The web-shop ThinkGeek is closing down to be absorbed into GameStop, ThinkGeek’s parent company.
The good news: It led Rob Sheridan to tell this story. For some context, Rob Sheridan is a former art director for Nine Inch Nails, and in honor of ThinkGeek closing down, he decided to tell a story to commemorate his favorite purchase, the “Annoy-A-Tron,” a story he’s never told (and with good reason).
