Riperoni gamestation, you will be missed.
Make way for the GOAT
>>341779163
I miss their retro section.
Though it was a glorious day when I went in and got 20 PS1 games for 5p each.
>>341779163
i cant even remember the last time i saw a GAME or gamestation
>>341779163
Is this the Birmingham one?
Have you seen what it is now? Shitty cheap clothes shop bullshit
>>341780467
>i cant even remember the last time i saw a GAME or gamestation
No shit on the gamestation
>>341779163
As do I. Some of my fondest memories were learning about all the retro systems that otherwise I would have never seen. They even used to sell mr game and watch and commodore games. I remember all sorts of amazing snes and nes games you could find. But at the very least at least I experienced it.
>>341780584
Shame there isn't really any chain retro store now.
>tfw your favourite game store is still alive and kicking
>tfw you moved closer to work and now you're within walking distance of the game store
>>341779163
maybe I'm wrong, but if memory serves me right I used to buy games at gamestation when I was in Barcelona
>>341780968
There are independent games stores in 2016?
>I miss it
We all do, OP. We all do.
>>341780204
Literally poorfag the store.
I travel a lot for work and always see fucking pikeys and chavs in their trying to trade in stolen phones.handhelds for cash.
Always see fucking neckbeards in there looking fro secondhand JRPGs
Fuck this stinky sweaty store.
>>341779163
You know it was owned by the same company that owned GAME, right?
They only existed to create fake competition between stores. They got sick of it and just decided to turn the Gamestation stores into GAME stores.
>tfw no more EB at mall
>>341780467
Really? GAME's are everywhere in the south. They're fucking terrible though, 50% the latest AAA crap and 50% Skylanders/Disney Infinity/Amiibo.
>>341781314
Correct.
Once gaming started getting really popular with dudebros and what not it was then the end for Gamestation.
>>341781314
Gamestation always seemed better though, even though they were the same company.
The staff seemed more interested in games less pure sales.
>>341781173
Yep, they've got used games from all gens, as well as the consoles, and those multi-system-emulator consoles too, on top of new games. Rentals for movies and games, game-related merch like phone cases, wallets, hats, those nintendo toys that link up with 3DS/WiiU, and all kinds of other crap.
Pretty awesome place desu
>>341780204
Nice CEX, here's mine
>>341781667
The main thing I remember is that they always had at least a cabinet of retro stuff, whikle GAME was always strictly current and most recent gen.
>>341781667
Go to Game in cardiff, theres two qt's in there who know their shit and never really push sales, every time i'm down there for work I go in there.
Its really hit and miss with GAME, some of the stores are awesome and have great staff, the others are fucking shite.
>>341781765
Had a place like this near where I work now, but it moved shortly before I started working here.
They had boxes original Pokemon games and all of the older consoles and stuff but I was too poor to afford it because Uni.

I find if it's always been a Game, it's good.
If it's a franchise or located in a shopping outlet etc, it's anybodys guess.
>>341782323
>tfw Simpsons delayed because of the tennis
>>341779163
I worked in for the last year or two. Honestly m8 it changed so much in that time that we were just a reskinned Game. To the point where they were bringing in Game managers and staff in to shops to mould them more like Game. And suprise suprise they were all cunts.
It's an insignificant thing I know, but the one thing that pissed me off the most was changing the music. We would play game soundtracks (because, you know, GAME shop, and all the customers fucking loved that) all the time, management came in and forced us to play top 40 chart shit. I know it's not a big thing, but it was just a small part of how much they really ruined the culture of the place.
>>341782010
>>341782047
The best part is that they're almost always busy, so there's no real sign of them going away any time soon. Been around for at least 20 years, cause I remember going there as a kid. Even with a gamestop across the street in the mall they still do good business.

>>341781173
My state has a mom and pop esque store which has two locations, the one I live near is the smaller one and it's alright.
>>341782657
Nah anon there's a push by feminist moms now for people to stop telling others how to parent. Being neglectful is a feminist thing to do, now. It's perfectly fine to let a baby cry for hours on end because you want to fuck around with makeup or whatever.
About a decade ago I went into a new independent game store that opened. I didn't think much of it; said something mildly disparaging and "let's go to gamestation" loud enough for them to hear.
Wonder how they felt about that. They closed down not before long.
>>341780204
CEX is overpriced as fuck even for secondhand
>>341782323
>>341782323
>that one shop you could go to and buy old pokemon cards for 1p each

I wonder where he is now
>>341781173
Never been inside it but there's an independent ran one around here with retro stuff.
http://www.gamersalleyonline.com/
Used to work at a Gamestation before it closed down
On the last day we were open a bunch of employees from Cex came into the shop and started picking up the reduced stock and saying 'wow, its still cheaper in our shop'. Then they started fucking chanting like football hooligans. I can't remember exactly what they chanted but it was something like 'you're getting sacked in the morning' followed by 'Our PS3's, Our PS3's, Our PS3's are cheaper than yours'. Can't believe they got away with that. I am still a fucking NEET, I miss that place.

>>341783092
Man, it's too bad this teletext shit never really took off in the US. Best we had were early tv listings channels (prevue channel) and electronic bulletin boards as seen here
Who remembers when "terrestrial telly" was just 5 channels (or just 4 if you're slightly older)?
Freeview, freesat, on-demand didn't exist yet. Back then Sky was still a middle-class thing to have.

Gamestation was shit. Dingy stores, crap prices and staff were either grill gamers with facial piercings and silly coloured hair or emo faggots with those shitty holes in their ears (and silly coloured hair).

My earliest memories of 4chan in general are Hal Turner & Habbo. Always remember to blame Gaia & ebaumsworld.
Who remembers Gameplay? They started out as a mail order company in the 90's then transitioned to the web. Inevitably GAME bought them and shut them down.
>Never used mail order before but decide to pre-order Pokemon Silver because it was cheapest there and I was a poor anon with little pocket money
>"Estimated dispatch time 12-14 days"
>Day of game's release
>I'm in bed thinking about how much it sucked that the game was out but I'd probably have to wait another week or so
>Hear something come through the letterbox and land on the mat

>FUCKYES
>Play the game until I've bled dry every single battery in the house
>Mum comes home
>She's mad I never had that bath
>>341786119
Likewise with Habbo. 2006 was /b/, branched out to /v/ in 2007. I can remember that girl who had sex with her dog, that was about the last time I bothered posting on /b/. I can remember feeling guilty about helping to play a part in ruining her life.
>>341785996
I remember Gamespy Arcade and even Mplayer.com that preceeded it.
>>341785869
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAUbuTWWRGA
Remember Game Network?
They basically backed The Legend of Mir, plugged it inbetween every review.
I found so much new music from that show, first time I heard of Killing Floor, looked so good.
>Be kid, maybe 7
>Don't remember specifics but end up getting straight shotaed with my aunts friend who was maybe 12-13 at the time

>>341786279
I still find myself wondering what became of Crackychan and Chinchan.
>>341783505
I remember once upon a time my dad got us a pirate cable box, literally hundreds of channels with a lot of them being foreign. Who the fuck even HAD cable?
But yeah Sky wasn't a common thing to have, I remember a buddy showing me Gameplay when it was still a service before the web store and how he used to order games off it.
>>341786420
Do you live in a doujin?
>>341786258
Ordered FF8 for PC from them, I can remember it arriving and playing the shit out of it (it was summer hols) from about 11am to 11pm.
I actually ended up getting FF7 by accident. Went into an independent game store near to my house and was looking for Baldur's Gate. They didn't have it but they did have FF7 for PC so I picked it up and it became one of my favorite games of all time.
This same game store was owned by a couple of bros who were pretty interesting, I can remember them showcasing the Voodoo 2 3000 card to me and my brother, showing off Unreal 1. We both thought it looked godlike.
So many other memories:
>First time playing Resident Evil
>First time playing the Deus Ex demo that came with PC Gamer
>Matt Pierce in PC Gamer
>Kieron Gillen in PC Gamer
etc.
>>341786587
Looking back on it, I probably did. But I was too dumb to act on it.

>>341786570
>I still find myself wondering what became of Crackychan and Chinchan.
Cracky more or less became a normal person. Even Applemilk turned into a normal person.
The level of dysfunction among the sorts of people who turn into hardcore weeaboos or camwhore on 4chan now is way, way more pronounced and fucked up, probably because of mobile devices like smartphones and the ubiquity of high speed internet.
I can also remember early camwhores like Togi-chan, and later Clover-chan.
>>341786637
I think back then every individual game was a great and cherished thing. Used to spend time reading the manual, playing games through properly.
Now I can get 10 game for a quid, and never bother playing them.

>>341786839
I think I reached that point of realization where you need to have actually paid for something to enjoy it when I downloaded a bunch of games from that old private tracker site. What was it called again? It was the game-specific one that shut down.
I never played a single one.

I've always been intrigued as to what happened to her. I have no idea.
>And wasn't there a girl who posted on /b/ who really wanted to move to Japan, did so, then ended up getting a Yakuza boyfriend and essentially becoming a sorry shell?
That was Samtron, it wasn't a Yakuza. She basically got married to some jap she had a ONS with and got into a miserable forced marriage with in-laws who, predictably, hated her.
Sad really. But it goes to show /pol/ is always right.

Oh shit yes I do, I remember still having dial up and even leaving a download all night I still ended up with a corrupted copy of the Mir installer, so I had to order an install disc for a fucking MMO.
I played it a fair bit but boy oh boy was it ever a shitty MMO, didn't they eventually start covering another 2D korean MMO as well?
I remember the goofy televised "competitions" they had as well, especially for winning an Xbox. Some dude wandered around a city asking joe public if they want an Xbox, then one crazy dude was like "Yes I want Xbox, where is that Xbox, I want it"

For the life of me I cannot remember what the show was called

I used to adore that show. I'm gonna have to go back and watch it to catch the innuendo I missed.
I remember they used to occasionally get WWE guys as guests and I would always be mad excited
>>341788180
Think it was off Bold street, where Tiki Joes and that are but opposite, there's a record shop and I think a scateboard shop there now.

I remember in school, shit was great but I was way too dumb to act on it.
Remember catching one girl fingering herself once. She let me watch but I couldn't see much because she had too much hair.
Later on in the year, around Christmas she gave me some home made Christmas card in French class. It was an invitation to fuck her but I didn't realize until it was too late.
In Chemistry I had this one female teacher, really young. I'd have her attention for most of the class. I wasn't dumb or anything but she'd always be around me. Sometimes she'd even just sit on my table just because.
I was so fucking dumb as a kid.
I honestly think we were the lucky ones. Growing up staring with the Nes / Master System to where we are now. Games got massively better between generations. And now what do we have? Stagnation. Our kids will start with a PS4, and what will they get next? Slightly better graphics?

They've knocked the wall down that was between the game shop and the comic shop now, so it's not as cramped as it used to be.

What did she mean by this?

I miss school. I'm 31 and hated it back then, the teenage LOL FUCKING SCHOOL AND TEACHERS MAKING ME LEARN, but looking back it was amazing. Didn't have to pay for anything, spent all day hanging out with a big group of friends, got to actively take part in different things. Now I sit at home on the dole, play games and wank.

Go out there and get yourself a job, any job.
I'm rooting for you m8.
I miss the arcades.
There used to be one right next to the local cinema.
Popping in there, 50p to go on Mortal Kombat and then Time Crisis.
Theres so few of them left and not much variety in the ones that are left.

How does he do it?
Who remembers Saturday night television being absolutely shit but you'd watch it anyway because... that's just what a family did on a Saturday night?
Today its still exactly the same. But at least we now have the option to do so much other shit. I don't know how people like my grandma are so content in still watching this stuff. It's EXACTLY the same. Stars In Their Eyes is replaced with X-Factor, Blind Date is replaced by Love Island. Gladiators is replaced by Ninja Warrior UK.
I think about all the cool, interesting shit that exists on Netflix and DVD boxsets and get annoyed that they're content watching the most generic, watered down, substantial shit.
It's like having a delicious 5 course meal and not being able to convince anyone around you to stop eating their bread and water.

The kid in my school traded a Chansey for Ruler.
Because the History teacher fucked you up if you didn't turn up with everything.
He then started crying after the class because the teacher wasn't in that day.

Is there a single CEX that doesn't smell of piss and cigarette smoke? Also is it a law that every CEX has to have a floor stickier than a nightclub?
>Walk into CEX Portsmouth

We never had arcades where I live. Just a fair that came once a year.
When I was young it was cheap as fuck. 25p for a go on almost anything, arcades they brought were like 10p-25p per game.
5 years later, it was £1-2 for a ride on anything, and the arcades where 50p minimum.
Fucking pikeys.

Nature of the stock.
Their policy is to sell things fast, they have reduced prices because of that. Stock comes and goes very quickly.
They don't aim for max profit but they do so much business they see money flow in just fine.
People's preowned stuff smells, simple as and they have so much of it coming and going it builds up.
>>341789286
Had a few but in different areas.
One was some IT guy, don't know what he did since he wasn't a teacher. Another was these two science guys. Again they weren't teachers but could always be seen pushing around carts full of chemicals and shit.
I'm pretty sure we had a bunch of mad scientists at our school.
