What did you do with etc-update? If you updated things like /etc/group or /etc/passwd
then you will have a problem.

Man group points out that the -G option will add you to
that group but remove you from all others you might be a
member of.

Read the man of usermod, the -G flag is used to SET (not append) all
additional groups for a user. So as you didn't specify wheel in the -G
flag wheel was removed even though you were originally a member of
wheel.

As someone pointed out to me earlier, you have to be part of the "wheel"
group to "su". You might want to check that, although I don't see how the
command below removed you from the "wheel" group.

You need to run with '-g' option instead of '-G'.

Ok, I have no idea what happened here, but all of a sudden I lost the
ability to 'su' into root.
I did an `su` and logged in as root, emerged some stuff, and did a
`usermod -G games joeljkp` to add myself to the 'games' group. I then
did `exit` to get back to my account.
Now when I type `su`,
