The Stupidest Thing That Has Been Said When You Have Bought Something at a Games Store.

[Ninonybox_v1legacy]

I heard someone ask if they had GTA:SA for the Gamecube. People in the U.S.A are retards.

...i smell smoke....oh thats just the FLAME WAR (oh snap)

When I was buying a game (I can't remember what it was, maybe Final Fantasy XII) the clerk was trying to talk me into buying disc insurance, which is $5 AUS. Not much at all. I politely decline, and he retorts with this:

"But what if you accidentally drop it in a blender?"

I had to give him that - he picked my sense of humour straight out of the box. Now I have one insured copy of Final Fantasy XII.

And did you drop it in a blender? You might want to see what your five bucks gets you

If I had, there'd be a few interesting questions in that store, and I imagine somebody might get fired...

Think I've already done that one.
Ain't it passed your bed time young'n.

On a side note, I don't mind kids playing most FPS. But games like GTA seems to cross the line.

Man, I hate FPSes.
I love GTA though.

Mmm...vehicular manslaughter.

And no, it is not.
I'm nocturnal, you know.

@16 most kids have a grip, but giving GTA to a seven year old is plain wrong. "Here you go kid, play with your drugs and hookers"

Buying Mass Effect: "You realize I hated that game, right?"

Right, I'm psychic. And yes, you need to reassess your life.

So I go into the bad Gamestop in my Town. I look over to a mother and her child ordering Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. The salesman being the evil bastard he is, suggested that the mother buy both of the games for her child after the child came running to her holding both games and asking loudly "Mom can I get both of these for my Birthday, please!" . I then intervene and explain to the mother that the game is almost the exact same and not worth 35.00 more dollars. The salesman shoots me a dirty look and says.

"He doesn't know what he is talking about, they are both different games and have many different creatures and things to do in the game"

Of course the women buys both for her kid, who just wasted his other birthday gift, Gamestop employees, what you going to do with them?

Tisk tisk,

At least you actually stepped in...

 

[wwjdftw]

Aww crap, thats not even close to legal in your state let alone mine. Well change your avatar! How are you supposed to inspire fear in your fellow man with that thing?

She is happily dating, so that's not a big worry of mine.
Furthermore, she lives in Texas.

Because I inspire fear regardless of how many kittens I may hug!

speaking of which, is that really you?

 

[Ninonybox_v1legacy]

me and my mum where at our local gamecrazy for the launch of gow2, my mom is suffering because she is their, there are epic nerds sorounding us who smelled like flounder, and when we where about to order the clerk got into a conversation with a guy about the sex change potion from fable 2. My mom just yells "stop talking to him and let me buy this so i can go home" i loled so hard that day.

 

[wwjdftw]

speaking of which, is that really you?

If you mean my avatar, then no, as I have explained, it is a lady friend of mine.

I am extremely camera-shy.

I know i got ninjad, just saw it a couple pages back.

-walked in to the store, pick up Okami-

Game clerk: "Wow Okami, wouldn't you rather get 50 Cents new game?"

Me: "Wouldn't you rather live in 2009? It's that new ~street thing~... every body's doing it..."

That sounds like one of those moments where you look back and realize you should have just walked out and bought the game elsewhere. That's what I would have done. I would have laughed, said "no," bought the game, and then while walking out of the store, reflected on how little they deserved my money.

 

[sheic99]

I usually repeat this conversation in some form every time I buy from Gamestop:

Me: "Hi I'd like to buy a copy of [game]."
Clerk: "Do you have a preorder?"
Me: "No."
Clerk: "Oh, too bad."
Me: "Why? Are you out of copies?"
Clerk: "No, we still have some in."
Me: "Great, I'd like to buy one."
Clerk: "Well, you still should have preordered..."
Me: "Why? The game I want is in stock."
Clerk: "You wouldn't have to go through this hassle though."
Me: "As long as people like you work here, I doubt that."

I got to give it to them, it takes some cojones to tell a customer they should pay extra money for you to be less of a dick to them.

Actually, when you pre-order a game, they take whatever amount you put on the game from the total amount. I've paid for games weeks before they come out, and then go in on launch day to pick it up.

This is totaly unrelated, but you need to introduce me to your friend there...wait how old is she? Oh it doesnt matter...ok i just plain dont like this avatar of yours. Also wal-mart sucks, a lot.

13 or 14, I think.

...Don't give me that look.

Was your old Avatar your actual self-portrait?

I wish.
No.
Look up Green Day.

It was the frontman.

I have a crippling fear of cameras.
And anyway, he has a really slight frame. I have actual muscle.
And I am not 30 years old I mean jesus.

I shop at Wal-Mart, don't speak to anyone or anything, buy my shit and go.

Thank god for those self-checkout things.

Same here. After buying a game I wanna get home and play said game, not have a chat with whoever's behind the counter.

Exactly! Normally I am all about chatting up strangers, but...

I see, How old are you than? Most witty people I know are my age which is 21.

 

[Agrosmurf]

The casheer explained how you can have sex with hookers in GTA 4 to my mom and sister. My mum didn't even ask if it was inappropreat or not.

 

[SharPhoe]

speaking of which, is that really you?

If you mean my avatar, then no, as I have explained, it is a lady friend of mine.

...I'm going to be completely serious when I say this, Max, and I mean absolutely no disrespect, but...

I thought your avatar was an effeminate male this whole time.

You'll have to forgive me, it was too small to tell...

I'm the guy in the blue coat that is behind this dude, and wind up at the register next to him. The guy that helped him out recorded this on his camera phone. Basically, dude here is trying to get his mom to find a gift card he left at home and give him the numbers so he can use it to buy "Sonic Adventure 2" or some crappy Sonic game like they all are nowadays. When she can't find it, he tries to get her credit card, and she says they need to talk about it first, where he replies with his great one liner...how's that for a cliffhanger? The guys that work there and I laughed for like 5 minutes after he left the store. Best part is that he really kinda sounds like Napoleon Dynamite.
