I didn't buy ANYTHING.   :o  But next week a bunch of shit comes out.  I've been feeding some yenz into the KOF Maximum Impact Regulation A (perhaps "Regulation T n' A is a better name, it's out of control now), which rocks, plus the PS2 version is next week.  Ash's alternate outfit makes him even gayer than before, but damn if he doesn't fucking own in this game.  Actually all four newcomers (Ash, Blue Mary, Xiao Lon, and Mizoguchi) seem to kick ass.

i bought TALES OF TEH ANIMU: RADIANT ANIMOLOGY yesterday. i shall pick up HOT SHOTS TENNIS to-day.

Damn.   You really go gay for the animu, don't you?  :-*

Hot Shots Tennis isn't bad, but it does feel like it's a bit lacking in options and modes.  A more fleshed-out sequel is going to rock, and is likely inevitable.  But that EGM score is fucking distinguished mentally-challenged.

Awesome!  Where will you be looking?

Anywhere between Northgate and South Seattle, but not West Seattle. There are a ton of houses in South Seattle (Rainier Vista & Columbia City) that we could afford, but there are also some places in Greenwood, Freemont and Crown Hill that we could afford. Our good friends are also our real estate agents, so they have a good idea of our tastes.

If we end up moving to South Seattle, I'll be ok with it, since the light rail stations will be there, but I'll miss living in North Seattle (Ballard and Queen Anne Hill have been home for the last two years).

haha shadowrun

It was fun while it lasted.  The Halo groupies jumped on board and have made playing a game without an irritating headache impossible.  I might re-purchase it once I see what kind of DLC Microsoft plans on creating for it.  It has a ton of potential, but it's unfortunate that the Halo kiddies have derailed what was a fun team-oriented multiplayer game.

To elaborate, the Halo kiddies focus on killing folks and racking up individual stats - despite the fact that there is no leaderboard and the game is team oriented.  Instead of getting stuff like Tree of Life or Resurrection, they opt to buy rocket launchers.  This mindset is killing Shadowrun online.

Because at least some of them would gravitate towards the gametype that is based around the behavior you are describing.

The store always wants to hit good trade comp numbers (meaning the percentage of trade sales and purchases against last year) and a lot of stores are hurting right now for some odd reason.  Not mine, though.  Honestly, the whole badger the customer until he breaks philosophy hurts business more than it helps and it's something a lot of managers don't understand.  My store has a ridiculous percentage and I think that has to do with folks coming in and not feeling immediate pressure to do much of anything.  Nobody harasses anyone.

Plus, we hire cute teenage girls that are pre-disposed to using their looks to get what they want.  That helps.
Title: Re: THURSDAY WHAT DID U BUY!?!?!??!?!??!
Post by: The Fake Shemp on July 20, 2007, 01:22:52 AM
Oh, and for reserves - every store is supposed to hit minimum of 10% (meaning one out of every ten customers should pre-order).  Again, some folks have this philosophy of beating a customer into the ground and making him pre-order useless shit (Madden wtf?).  I only tell folks to pre-order portable titles and limited releases, like Persona 3 (before this it was Odin Sphere).  If I pitch a big title, like Madden or Halo, it's to a person that is likely buying something related (Halo faceplate or NCAA) and my goal is to let them know they can pick it up here a day or two later instead of waiting in line at midnight at Wal-Mart or some fucking flea circus.

If someone doesn't want to pre-order something right away, don't harass him - it's distinguished mentally-challenged.  You want people to come in and drop $5 because they like the ease of picking up stuff at a place they're comfortable with and can depend on the staff.  If someone is unsure about a title, I usually tell 'em to check it on XBL or PSN or GameTrailers and see if they like it first.  A lot of times, that person will come back.

The teenage girls are total sluts too.  They'll do anyone for anything.

One of them is bi-sexual.  She's using some twenty-something as a sugar daddy and she hasn't even let him hit it yet. He already bought her a Wii and a Xbox 360.  Then some lesbian chick (who I thought was a dude) gave her a Palm phone and a RAZR today.  Just when we thought that was enough, a dozen roses were delivered to her at work in front of the store manager and myself and a bunch of customers.  Then she hit on this introverted, super nice guy that has a total crush on her (and has no shot) just to score free bread from the bakery next door.

SHE IS PLAYIN' EVERYBODY.
