It's so fucking bizarre that they had 3 stores in one mall! Unbelievable.
Ah, Halo 2 launch night...I remember drinking two Red Bulls, smoking a pack of Colts, and getting sick about half way through because of it. It was a crazy night, but the energy of the people in there was really amazing. A lot of excitement for that game, everyone in the massive line up were acting like best friends. I would love to hit a midnight launch again just to see that again, it was great.
Nice article, brought back memories for me too...oh yeah, and, BRONY 4 LIFE.

We had two stores in the mall I worked in, so yeah, three sounds within the realm of possibility.
I worked there over the holidays a few years ago but didn't stay. The manager was a friend of mine and would've brought me on full time, but one of his wrestling injuries kept him out of work for so long that corporate let him go. After that, the new manager took a bunch of us off the payroll and brought his friends in instead. Oh well, whatever. I wasn't bothered about it. I took the job mainly to help my buddy out in the first place.
I was just there to move heavy things and do grunt work, basically. I only rang up one sale the whole time I was there and didn't put the disc in the case because I thought the other cashier got it. The worst part was, the guy didn't come back that night. Hope he didn't give it to someone as a gift...!

Three Gamestops in one mall? Wow... that sounds like a BIG mall!
... that's an actual photo... OMG! I though the mall cop movie was funny, but the reality is even funnier!
Fun blog! I think I guess I really missed out on a lot by never working at a game store... but it's not too late! I can still apply! LOL!

I'm incredibly tempted to explore the new store just to see if I can find me some stickers...and possibly fried chicken.
Oh, and for anyone else not from the area...not only were there three Gamestops in the mall, there was (and, to the best of my knowledge, still is) a fourth (er, third) one literally right down the street from there.

@BullentMagnet I totally forgot we met at that store, haha. Yeah I put a few on those weird green shelving units. Also, the fried chicken was at the other store, the one next to Gourmet Chef.
The security guy looks thrilled as hell to be having his picture taken! Sounds like wild times at GameStop. Wonder what our GameStop guys do on slow days? lol
You and bullet should go exploring, see if you can find and retrieve the nuggets without them noticing.
@Manchild
The mall I used to go to had 3 also :P, two were almost in-front of each other (one used to be a Babbages), and a smaller one on the opposite side of the mall.

Sounds like an awesome time. Also, really entertaining read. If I fap you have to promise not to take legal action though.
I stop off in a Gamestop near my apartment on Sundays after I go to the Goodwill next door. I think its more out of habit than necessity as I don't ever buy anything. It's fun to watch people there though. I like the moms that come in and are all like MY BOY LIKES TANKS AND HAS A NINTENDO DS. Though it makes my soul basket fill with joy grapes whenever I see a teenager nervously try to buy an M rated game and is decidedly shot down. Little moments I suppose.
I worked at a bookstore when The Davinci Code came out. That was a fucking lesson in human failure.

Sounds like a wicked time! Our mall security is one dude in a yellow jacket with some pepper spray :/
I would have loved to work at the local game store but the kids that work there have been there since I moved to town....lifers.

"Then Bonnie got a voicemail on her phone that was almost 20 minutes long from a guy high out of his brain talking about all of the sex things he wanted to do with her."
just cause i guy wants to have sex with your friend doesnt mean hes high.

The mall I go to has two gamestops, which are very different from each other. Almost as separate as gaming culture itself is now. One seems unsure why they have customers interested in anything other than new games, and that their computers are incomprehensible messes. The other has some geniunely knowledgable people working there, I've told the story about talking about Shin Megami Tensei and the girl not only knowing what it was, but finding a boxed copy of Nocturne for me. That sort of thing isn't exactly West Virginia.
Did you ever get phone calls about Battletoads? I love asking if people who work at Gamestop get those cals.
