You see, games are like colouring books. I don't see much stupidity in games shops. Although, I did overhear a conversation between 2 kids about how different the new Dynasty warriors game was to all the others.Stubee said:
Same here. I'm 15, and is always mistaken for a 11-year old. Gonna be really annoying when I'm over 20 and want to buy a drink or an 18-rated game.NeonZombie said:
My friend went into our local GAME to buy a used PS2... Speciffically he wanted one of the old fat ones and was told that they had one in stock... The woman serving him went to get it from the back and when she came back, she opened the box to show him what he was buying... She opened the box and said (and I quote) "Oh!Someones accidentally traded in a Slimline PS2 instead of a fat one..." Honestly I ask you, what kind of idiot clerk takes a PS2 box off a customer without checking inside the box first? I might fill my DSi box with a brick and trade it in... Easy £100
I go into gamestop a lot in my town and I usually see wierd shit in there all the time, but there was one time where I was in line to get Resistance 2 and there was a woman and her 16 or 17 year old son there and they were getting Rock Band or Guitar Hero (I can't remember which) but the woman kept asking the salesmen about all the diffrent types of bad language in it.
I shit you not I was in there for about 20 fucking minutes before that woman finally got the game. Its rated T, how bad could the lyrics be?!! And she just kept on and on about it, asking the sales guy to tell her specificly all the lyrics in the game.
I couldn't stop laughing at that.

Well what I've learned from this thread is:
Stubble doesn't cut it if you want to avoid I.D. checks. Convert to the ways of the beard!

This occured at a Best Buy about a year and a half ago to two years ago.
I enjoy realistic sims, and I had just approached the counter with a copy of Falcon 4.0: Allied Force. This is the conversation that took place. It's been a while, but this is what I recall as having been said.
Clerk: Thank you for shopping at Best Buy. Will this be all for you today?
Me: Yes, thanks.
*Hands clerk game*
Clerk: I heard this game was realistic and very hard to play. Are you sure you want it?
Me: Yes, I think I'm up to it. I'm not a casual simmer.
Clerk: Are you sure? Halo is out for the PC you know... I would recommend Halo.
*I began to get flustered at this point*
Me: Do I look like I care about Halo?
Clerk: It's the best game ever made!
Me: Are you going to sell me my flight sim or not?
Clerk: Why not get Halo?
Me: Because Halo blows and I don't want a shooter. If you don't sell me my game, I will have to talk to a manager!
*Clerk rings up my game and I leave - Pissed off, but happy to have my beloved sim*
Sadly, I frequent that Best Buy to this day as it has the lowest prices when compared to the Gamestop that is right next door.
The really sad thing is that it was in a Best Buy. There were people standing in line behind me, and this whole exchange took several minutes. People were getting angry because the line was being held up.

I once waited 15 minuets in line behind a guy who kept demanding Battletoads. He eventually got kicked out of the store.
Child (About 6) : Can I get Gears Of War?
Mum Of Child: I might be a bit difficult, it's an 18+
Makes you want to shout at her. Also:
Child (About 10 this time): Can I get those Pokemon cards?
Mum Of Child: No, it's a game.
What the hell?

Good point. I suppose I'll try to let it go, then.elitecrewer said:
