Title: Gamestop backlash is baaaddd...
Post by: Van Cruncheon on March 20, 2008, 12:28:10 AM
gamecrazy store manager was nice to me and even laughed at my distinguished mentally-challenged jokes. best of all, he expressed appreciation for wild arms xf, and called casual/wii gamers distinguished mentally-challenged fellows. gamestop fails again!

Send me your casual gamers, your unwashed!  I will take their moneys, GameCrazy!

GameCrazy apparently gave some secret code to unlock a MTAR in Rainbow Six Vegas 2.

Gamecrazy is kind of insignificant to me, really.  I'll recommend them to people and even call one to get something we don't have.  They're not really competition - I've got more to lose to the nearby Target, Wal-Mart and Best Buy if I don't take care of my customers.  They're great to poach employees from, though.

gamestop has failed me as a gamer. i expect disparagement of the wii and wii owners, massive pushes for psp games, and a willingness to laugh at really stupid jokes about men getting fucked by horses. does your crappy franchise provide that, willco? no! in fact, you are spending entirely far too much time lashing out at great games like rainbow six vegas 2 (tm ubisoft), and not enough time spitting on the folks preordering wii fit. i know where MY money is going: to the folks who are CRAZY for GAMES, not those who endeavor to STOP selling real GAMES!

oh yes. he looks very irish catholic. he's fat, sure, and has curly black hair, but the ruddish tint to his cheeks and drooping eyelids are 100% drunkass mick. we may need to call in tvc to make the final judgment, though.

Hey now!  Are you calling Rainbow Six Vegas 2 great?  I don't know about that.  I'm not saying it's bad, but they've really taken the multiplayer backwards.  Terrorist hunt is still fun and the single player might be great, but I buy Rainbow Six for multiplayer and it has disappointed (in spades, hyuck-hyuck!).

Also, I push PSP like crazy and laugh at horrible jokes!  I accomodate self-loathing Jews, even!  But unfortunately, a successful business model relies on Wii owners and the two games they purchase a year, so I can only mock them behind their backs and to preferred customers in confidence.

Woe is the casual-friendly videogame industry!

can you still scalp the wii for way more than it's worth?

they get them in pretty regularly around here (they disappear quick, though)

might be worth standing in line for fifteen minutes if i can turn a $150 profit

Yeah, at least around here you can.  I get them once a week and they disappear like [enter catchphrase in here].  I actually held one for this woman a couple of weeks ago and turned it around into a date.  Wii helps my social life.

Nope.  She was totally cute - the catch was that she had a kid.  It was for the kid's birthday, actually.

A gentleman does not kiss and tell!  I'll say this - she was cool, but the prospect of being around a child all the time scared me and I pretty much ended that.
