The year is 2003 and I am playing the Dragon Ball Z Collectible Card Game released by Score Entertainment. Not to be confused with the website by the same name - my local card playing haunt is a store called "Game Spot" - the spot at which I played many games. The decor is what you'd expect: a Final Fantasy IX standee complimented by one of the faux-anime third person shooter "Oni." A Metal Gear Solid poster hangs nearby alongside many its many Dragon Ball Z brothers.

The other bits of 00s Gamer Ephemera escape my mind - but this one stands out in my memory the most. It may be the single strongest vision of that time that I still retain.

The store's owner loved Vegeta as much as any one person could. Sometimes I find myself envying his ability to love anything that intensely. It's that passion that I believe led him to fashion this poster. Edited by hand, he added a speech bubble to an official poster of a pensive Vegeta saying to himself "Saiyans LOVE The G Spot!"

A Saiyan prince, Vegeta could speak for all Saiyans, sure, but I believe he spoke mostly for himself. At this time, Vegeta is the only person alive who still remembers Saiyan culture and attitudes. And, that's what makes this act of expression so pure. It's a reflection of the affection felt for Vegeta, redirected back at the store owner's creation: "Game Spot" or, "The G Spot."
