Now look what you made me do, now I have to go and play HM:MM on the wii for hours on end because you reminded me how fun it is.

OT: What a dick rude individual.

Muwahahahaha.
I personally love Rune Ractory(even though its the same...ish)

And I found it very amusing. Today, I went to Gamestop to see if they had the Black Wii Remote bundle and component cables for the Wii. I found what I was looking for and still had some cash to buy a game. So I look at the Wii selections and debate whether to get this game or that game(You know what I mean right?) So the associate looks at me with this confused look that someone like me is looking at the Wii games(I was assuming at the time) He walks over and says "Need any help sir?" "Not yet. I'm just looking for a new game." He looks at me odd and with a hint of attitude he says; "For you or your little sister" I started to get annoyed and said "For me. Got a problem?"
And it begins.
"Well sir, someone like you would probably like the XBox 360 or the PS3 since the games that they offer are more suited for you and I for example"
"Well, I'm not a Sony fan so I won't be getting a PS3 any time soon and My 360 I play for 30mins to an hour. Meanwhile I play with the Nintendo Wii for over 5-10 hours. So again I ask, Do YOU have a problem with my system of choice!?!?"
He then calls his manager and manager and I are friends so then I then about about his co-worker and he did apologize. I got a 15% discount of my purchase and just before I walk out I ask him "What's your primary system?" "The Xbox 360" "Ok. I can respect that. Why didn't you respect mine?" "I was just shocked to know someone around my age has the Wii as their main system"
So, has anything like this ever happened to you? And the bold quotes are mine.

That guy sounds like a ****.

I agree. Did you hit him. I would have.

Though i like the Wii it is not my main console. But i will still say i get more "Fun" from it then i do my PS3 or my Recently Crapped out 360.

Nah I didn't. But I'm gonna pay a visit tomorrow.

No offence but lots of people who play a Wii have never owned another console, he could've asked because he thought you never played or heard of the other consoles. You shouldn't have gone off on him, an it didn't make any sense for him to call his manager.

I've owned
NES
SNES
N64
and
GC.
What QUALIFIES as another console?

Oh sorry I meant non-Nintendo console, and current gen ones at that.
most people buy just one console, and whatever sex/age you are I assume there's more demographic in the X-Box and PS3, or else the employee wouldn't have asked you.

Like if you were a 8 year old kid asking for Killzone 2 he would've said you aren't allowed to buy it but should try out some Wii games.

What a jerk face.

Forgiven. I have an Xbox 360 as a secondary/backup system. (as I stated I only play it for about 30mins to an hour and it was his attitude that annoyed me)
Actually, I've seen stores like Gamestop,Target saying "you need a parent to buy this."

 

[PhunkyPhazon]

Wow, sounds like a complete asshat. I buy Wii games all the times and no one ever questions it.

I've only been carded once for an M game. Usually they don't care.

They usually ask for my birthday

I think Wii is mad stupid and I probably would have clowned on you really bad when you left and there was no one in the store but I wouldn't have been a complete douche bag to your face like he was.....I mean that is just good customer service.....he should get fired for being a prick....to your face....that is

Lol your terminology is awesome

I went in to buy a copy of The Orange Box at EB Games, and for some readon, after showing my school ID (I'm 15, but only look 13) and having a friend back me up, he said, in these exact words:
"I don't care if you have 100 people backing you up, you little bastard, you're not 15, I know it and you betterget out before I call security!"

2 days later, he got fired and I got a discount copy

 

[nicholaxxx]

I would suggest Madworld if you don't already have it. Got it used for 18 bucks. I wouldn't pay much more for it though.

Have it. Beat it. Still play it. Multiplayer is a blast. (to me)

The art style wears on my eyes after like an hour of play though.

I got used to it, but I see what you mean though.

you two certainly like the word 'though'

just an observation...

OT: it's a requirement for gamestop clerks to be idiots, don't take it to heart.

 

[Harlemura]

I don't really see why you had to snap at him. You can't deny that the Wii is generally thought to be a kiddy thing, I don't think someone should be fired for trying to be helpful.

 

[MercurySteam]

Games store clerks are usually stupid dicks. I've made a thread about it before and I was surprised with how many people have been screwed over by their stupidity/arrogance.

I understand why you were outraged at the guy but don't you think you went too far by threatening his job? It's not like if he bold-facedly insulted you he was just trying to imply that you would like something better.

 

[Optimus Hagrid]

The only instance is where some **** wouldn't let me buy Silent Hill 2 because "I paused while saying my age".

He was probably only doing his job, but that game had a 15 rating, and I was 16 at the time, so I was pretty pissed off.

It [i/]was[/i] a great game.

It was based on Super Ghouls and Ghosts (one of my favorite childhood games) and it was a fantastic remake.

snoooore...GAH!

I think I just woke up. I freaking love that game. I guess I'll check out Maximo, it looks pretty good.

You won't regret it. If you like a good challenge, you'll like this.

 

[GamingAwesome1]

Mind you if I saw anyone who isn't small enough to be denied entrance to a carnival ride, I'd think that they have no idea what other consoles are either. Mind you, I wouldn't hassle them.
Yes, I hate the Wii, how'd you guess?

I can kinda see where the guy was coming from but he shouldn't have hassled you.

People are people - opinionated and annoying with it.

But it doesnt matter. As i say to all my friends, people may have opinions, but they are their opinions. You must never allow someone to force their opinion on you, for any reason - all you can do is take from their opinion what is best for you. And leave the rest behind.
