well to be fair, I gave a little more explanation as to why I liked FF13. So the conversation had about 60 seconds of me defending hallway simulator 1 while she looked at me annoyed.
They gave me a fake euro coin, which I used this morning to buy something.
The circle continues.
>>257711492
>"you know, you probably wont like this game. It's really similar to FFX-2. You're just -Lightning- the whole time, and you change skimpy outfits constantly."
>Oh shit, I didn't know that! Then I'll also take this controller cleaning kit.

close, but nope
Protip: If an employee is hard-selling you with pre-orders, magazine subscriptions etc. It's because they're either trying to hit the monthly bonus for the store so everybody gets an extra $50+ each, or they're behind on their targets for the month.
If they're courteous and leave you alone, they're well ahead and can just sell what you want.

Heh.
Took me a second since Hanako andNanakoare kinda similar and I forgot who Hanako was.
I once had to wait in line for an employee to describe how violent Skyrim was to a middle-aged mother.

My friend worked at gamestop this summer.
Shit was pretty cash, he just checked out games and snagged free shit for us bros.
I'd never work there but he made the best of it.
>>257716948
Holy shit that has been sitting on the shelf of my local gamestop for at least 3 years.
>>257716947
Neither, son.
He's just an idiot.
>>257716071
I bet he's on /v/ right now.
>>257716948
Or more likely since he commented on the difficulty and offered you the special edition, he plays the fucking game you paranoid idiot.

you're american and you speak american

Other than having to know your shit about niche weeb games,which I am a weeb, so it's not a big deal, it's basically just a retail job where you do what you can to pass the time.I don't even have to push pre-orders. Only trade-ins.

>>257717171
>Some games don't like being alt tabbed out of and crash

Okay, why would you tab out during an online match though? Why would you even stop paying attention while you are playing killing floor?
>2 monitors really shine for video editing though, hard to edit stuff on one monitor
Okay but that has nothing to do with videogames.
>>257714184

He knows about Niche weeb games but my bro hates them.
His last day at work was about a week ago.
I remember he got pissed cause everyone was coming in asking for that under night and birth fighter but no one would buy it.
Told me he had at least 4 different people come in within the hour ask for it and leave.

>They think the brits invented English
Nigga we all know America is God's own country, and English is God's own language, so it follows that English is made in the US of A.
Why don't you just keep speaking french or whatever the fuck you did before America gave you a decent language to shit all over?
>>257717456
Why would you tab out of a single player game? You might miss some dialogue. Why are you defending this guy so hard for not having 2 monitors? It's objectively better.
>>257716691
It's ok, I watched arthur too.
>>257717106

>Why would you tab out of a single player game? You might miss some dialogue.
Are you an idiot? There's a thing called pausing in most if not all single player games.
>Why are you defending this guy so hard for not having 2 monitors?
I am not. I'm just calling out an Anon for being jelly as fuck and salty as hell for not having that set up himself.
>It's objectively better.
It is but that alone doesn't make the rest of his set up any less invalid. So you can cry MUH 2 MONITORS all you want, in the end he has the things that Anon never will.

I don't remember saying you can't tab out of multiplayer games. I said you shouldn't, specially in games as intense as Killing floor.

grill behind counter turned out to be a lesbian. I saw her and her girlfriend buying beer at a local gas station.I said hi, and invited them over to drink that night with a few other friends. We played Mario Kart 8. We all got along and they got super touchy after awhile and then left. One of the other female friends that came over talked me through how dating a lezzy/former lezzy is not a good idea, and it wouldnt work out.
>>257718276
There's down times in between every round and even after those are over there is still a lot of time before shit hits the fan. After buying your shit, there's at least a good 40 seconds of wait around with your dick in your hand time.
>>257718425
>>257718276
ALSO, if you have 2 monitors, you can view when the round is beginning with out having to guess. You can even check something else safely; the game is right there
>>257718425
Do you play HoE? If you do please don't. Ever again.

This question... yes obviously I would like a bag. Why do they ask this? I honestly think they ask it to make interactions with awkward-seeming customers a little easier

My second monitor is an old CRT that was gonna get trashed but I saved it. No money spent on it and it works perfectly since I just use it to keep browsers and stuff open on the side.
A decent, new monitor doesn't even cost that much. If you don't buy your games at gamestop for full price you'll easily save up the money for an extra monitor in a year.

Bullshit, That's not how it went down at all.
I said "G'day Champ", not "mate".
I never say "mate". "mate" is a bullshit term coined by retailers who're looking to swoon a buck from you.
I also asked what you were thinkin' bout getting before I gave you a recommendation.

GAME stores are a mixed bad. The one where I used to live was a complete shithole; the employees were all those weird hybrid sportsfag-betas that only seem to exist in the north. The kind that wear tracksuit pants and polo shirts but don't look quite close enough to heroin addicts or have enough kids to qualify as chavs.

Complete shithole, how they didn't all get fired I'll never know.
The guys that work in the one near me are all chill though. There's a qt student grill who likes to talk about Mario Kart. Manager is a turboslut though, knows nothing about vidya. Probably only got hired because 'muh gender equality'.

Because graphics are the only way to 'date' a game, right?
Nintendo games don't get discounted because each iteration doesn't make the previous redundant, and because they have quite limited replay value.
