Wow this took forever

I know most of you hate me because I posted a few links to my website about a year ago and I still apologize to this date. I also know some of you hated how I posted some of my reviews in my blog and I guess I should say sorry again. With that said let's get on with the show.

Since my college degree means nothing in todays economy I was lucky enough to at least find a job after a few months, I now work at Gamestop. Yes the enemy, I am one of those people who will annoy you to death just so you put $5 down on a future release.

My few days on the job so far have been good. I did help out some people with some purchases and I actually had 3 people in one day return the special edition of Madden 2009 because of glitches. Maybe next time those people should buy real games :)

One of the new things about working at Gamestop if the discount and having the ability to rent games. What was my first choice? The Club. Boy am I glad I rented this, that game is a piece of shit! At least today I will use my employee discount on Too Human, for some reason I think I am one of the only people in the world that enjoyed playing the demo.

With that said I will leave you with a few words of wisdom...

You can rent games if you work at gamestop?

I can rent games if I walk into any video store.

The Duke

I'm renting a hooker right now, I BET YOU CAN'T DO THAT IN GAMESTOP.

"The more you trade the more you save"

are you fucking serious? please tell me that was a failed attempt to be witty.
christ, I try not to outright hate on somebody without giving them a 2nd chance, but I don't even know you and now I want to shove a copy of game informer up your ass sideways.

RICHARD BLOCKER

Given your blind devotion to the company you work for, you sound like management material, junior!!

Aaron Mxy Yost

Isn't it closer to "borrowing" than "renting?"

AKK

Yeah, you don't pay. So technically it's not renting.

But it still sounds good. I'm probably gonna try to get a job there eventually.

The Duke

Well, I'm borrowing a hooker then, I only had to club her half to death, but CAN YOU DO THAT AT GAMESPOT?!

lol, wut?

"Hi, welcome to GameStop, would you like some rape?"

king3vbo

The more you trade the more you get assraped

EternalDeathSlayer

I agree with King3vbo.

Also, stop with the Madden hate. It is a REAL video game, and a well designed one at that.

You really should try to embrace a larger view of the video game industry, because Madden is actually a very important title. It helps drive growth within the industry by getting non-gamers to try playing a video game.

So when I buy a NEW game from gamestop, and there's a huge greaseprint on the disc, its from you renting it?

dephect

Goozex!

I know you can rent games any where, but I can do it for free, which is nice considering I am paying for Netflix.

Yeah employees can rent new games and if there is a problem with it then it's the employee. Trust me if that happens report them, apparently from what I heard it is funny as hell if that happens (guess the store manager goes ape shit).

Oh yeah I found this amusing. Madden 2008 is worth (trade value) more on the Xbox than any other system. That and a 8 year old traded in 12 GameCube games and got $2.25. His mom told him to do it if he wanted Madden 2009, stupid bitch.
