Gus admits his love for Geoff, but Geoff just mocks him and hurts his fragile feelings. Later the two seem to make up, but the ending is a little confusing. 

In order to become the ultimate gamer, Gus has an extra thumb sewn onto each hand. These thumbs, however, turn out to be radioactive or something and try to choke Gus in his sleep.
