well to be fair, I gave a little more explanation as to why I liked FF13. So the conversation had about 60 seconds of me defending hallway simulator 1 while she looked at me annoyed.

They gave me a fake euro coin, which I used this morning to buy something.

Protip: If an employee is hard-selling you with pre-orders, magazine subscriptions etc. It's because they're either trying to hit the monthly bonus for the store so everybody gets an extra $50+ each, or they're behind on their targets for the month.

If they're courteous and leave you alone, they're well ahead and can just sell what you want.

My friend worked at gamestop this summer.
Shit was pretty cash, he just checked out games and snagged free shit for us bros.
I'd never work there but he made the best of it.

Holy shit that has been sitting on the shelf of my local gamestop for at least 3 years.

Or more likely since he commented on the difficulty and offered you the special edition, he plays the fucking game you paranoid idiot.

Other than having to know your shit about niche weeb games, which I am a weeb, so it's not a big deal, it's basically just a retail job where you do what you can to pass the time. I don't even have to push pre-orders. Only trade-ins.

Okay, why would you tab out during an online match though? Why would you even stop paying attention while you are playing killing floor?

Okay but that has nothing to do with videogames.

He knows about Niche weeb games but my bro hates them.
His last day at work was about a week ago.
I remember he got pissed cause everyone was coming in asking for that under night and birth fighter but no one would buy it.
Told me he had at least 4 different people come in within the hour ask for it and leave.

Nigga we all know America is God's own country, and English is God's own language, so it follows that English is made in the US of A.
Why don't you just keep speaking french or whatever the fuck you did before America gave you a decent language to shit all over?

Why would you tab out of a single player game? You might miss some dialogue. Why are you defending this guy so hard for not having 2 monitors? It's objectively better.

grill behind counter turned out to be a lesbian. I saw her and her girlfriend buying beer at a local gas station. I said hi, and invited them over to drink that night with a few other friends. We played Mario Kart 8. We all got along and they got super touchy after awhile and then left. One of the other female friends that came over talked me through how dating a lezzy/former lezzy is not a good idea, and it wouldnt work out.

There's down times in between every round and even after those are over there is still a lot of time before shit hits the fan. After buying your shit, there's at least a good 40 seconds of wait around with your dick in your hand time.

My second monitor is an old CRT that was gonna get trashed but I saved it. No money spent on it and it works perfectly since I just use it to keep browsers and stuff open on the side.

A decent, new monitor doesn't even cost that much. If you don't buy your games at gamestop for full price you'll easily save up the money for an extra monitor in a year.

Bullshit, That's not how it went down at all.

I said "G'day Champ", not "mate".
I never say "mate". "mate" is a bullshit term coined by retailers who're looking to swoon a buck from you.
I also asked what you were thinkin' bout getting before I gave you a recommendation.

I also scanned your EB World card, so I'm going to call you on this next time I see you.

GAME stores are a mixed bad. The one where I used to live was a complete shithole; the employees were all those weird hybrid sportsfag-betas that only seem to exist in the north. The kind that wear tracksuit pants and polo shirts but don't look quite close enough to heroin addicts or have enough kids to qualify as chavs.

Complete shithole, how they didn't all get fired I'll never know.

The guys that work in the one near me are all chill though. There's a qt student grill who likes to talk about Mario Kart. Manager is a turboslut though, knows nothing about vidya. Probably only got hired because 'muh gender equality'.

Because graphics are the only way to 'date' a game, right?

Nintendo games don't get discounted because each iteration doesn't make the previous redundant, and because they have quite limited replay value.

Not only is that not American Dad, it's clearly the front of the Griffin household in the first shot, not the Smith's.

There are three current instances of Family Guy/American Dad crossovers with meaningful exchanges & only two take place near homes; first in the Hurricane episode of American Dad in Season 8, episode 2; in Family Guy's Season 6, episode 5, where Stan & Bullock acquiesce to Stweie takeover of the US power grid in a hypothetical extended dream sequence; and Family Guy's Season 11, episode 17 where the opening sequence is a dream of the Smith's moving into Cleaveland's empty house.

The first is outdoors in front of Peter's house but the scene is incorrect because the stars of all three Seth McFarlane shows have guns drawn for the length of the scene, the other two are interior "what-ifs."

While the definition is poor, both the scene of two men in blue suits exiting the Griffin household and the interior scene with Peter squinting his eyes at Lois in the kitchen with a smile lead me to believe it is the Family Guy episode "PTV", Season 4, episode 14, playing at different points during the photo shoot of this particular anon's battlestation.

The only worse thing is when people say, "That'd be different." Different than what?

U wot? Halo is Microsoft. And Halo 3 was just as good as 2. Reach was shit because it switched from projectile based to hitscan weapons among other reasons.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood was a genuinely good game. That's the last one I played because everything after it looked too much like the same thing or was reported to suck ass like AC3. I didn't even bother with Black Flag despite people speaking positively of it on /v/. There's a solid chance this new one is garbage but there is no evidence yet. They showed the casual coop shit and story cutscene shit. They also claimed parkour was improved but didn't support that claim with more than two or three little canned animations out of context. We just don't know enough to judge it yet.

I'm a computer technician at Office Depot, so I know the feeling.

We had to watch a training video recently (because naturally we don't know how the fuck to do our job which is why we were hired) that basically told us to ask a bunch of useless questions so we could sell more junk software. We like to say there are two kinds of techs: actual technicians and salesmen who blindly sell whatever just for a few bucks commission. Sounds like you always get the latter.

/v/, are GameStop's refurbished consoles any good? I want to buy a PS3, but I've heard stories about people finding disgusting shit in them. I'd prefer to buy new, but they're still $250-$300. How exactly does Sony get away with charging that much for an 8 year old console when people are saying the Wii U is overpriced? You can buy a Wii U from Nintendo for $200 for fuck's sake.

i once went to my local video game store looking for pokemon X - as soon as it was released - and a 20-something female employee started to talk shit about the little kids bugging her all day about the pokemon game. for a moment she stopped and got very embarrassed as she realised that the game was probably for me, not for my kids or anything like that.

didn't mind that at all, paid for my game and left. that is all i got.

Only bad experience I've ever had in a game store was with another customer, if he even was one, or just some fucking retard talking up the cashiers. I went in to place a pre-order and he's YELLING all about the new Arkham game and how, "THEY WERE GONNA GET NPH TO PLAY THE RIDDLER IN A NEW BATMAN MOVIE GUIZE!!".
The fucking employees were not even listening and just sitting there on their phones, probably texting eachother about this fat annoying cunt. Based.
