Two boys experience the worst GameStop visit ever

That'll show 'em. Don't shop at GameStop, thugs are always ripping those joints off. Soon they'll be a hangout for dopefiends and crackwhores.

I think people are robbed everytime they shop at a Gamestop.

Shop at mom&pop gameshop! I give the gamestop the finger. That opinion has nothing to do with the robbery, just my former employment with them.

I believe the line would be:

"In Soviet Russia, Gamestop ROBS YOU!"

Of course Gamestop robs us everyday, taking food and water out of our childrens mouths. But thats neither here or there.

So this is either the coolest or lamest story ever, I can't decide:

A couple of years ago I was robbed at gunpoint in front of a movie theater. I don't want to go into everything that happened here, but it was a nasty and unpleasant experience. After I had filled out the police reports I immediately went home to decompress and wind down a little.

I called my girlfriend on the phone, but I didn't want to tell her until we were in person so that she wouldn't get too worried.

I was pretty shaken up at the idea of almost dying and I didn't know what to do with myself. So, and I'm pretty sure Chad Concelmo would be feeling me on this, I fired up the old SNES and played about three hours straight of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. It was like a warm hug from a friend, while I was waiting for some real human interaction. It was one of those few moments where I saw video games as more than a hobby. It totally calmed me down and made me feel at peace with everything that happened.

So wait a minute . . . video games can actually combat the trauma of violence? I'm confused here. I thought they were supposed to turn me into a maniac.

Aww, I miss Arlington now.

*waves hands* Thats my baby!

Jack Thompson was right...


:)

All violence roots from America's America: TEXAS! BAN TEXAS!!!

But seriously though, there's something wrong with the kids' families.

I wonder if gamers would rather get shot than give up their copy of halo 3?

Ok? Come to Memphis? We're known for BBQ, music, violent crime, and also, cocks. Seriously maybe it's because crap EXACTLY like this is on the evening news about once a month so this doesn't suprise my face off.


BBQ SO GEWD IT Haxx0r UR m0m
Chadwarden should come to Memphis and try his luck on that car....see how long he has it. That kid is about as ghetto as the suburbian home he lives in.

Probably easier said then done, but when the robbers left, I would've grabbed some stuff and left too.

dude, i think it the same place and same guys.

DARE TO COMPARE!

@ Lowtax: I am in Memphis, too.

"BBQ SO GEWD IT Haxx0r UR m0m"

heh 'tis true!

"crap EXACTLY like this is on the evening news about once a month so this doesn't suprise my face off"

Only "once a month" here in Memphis? Turn on your TV more often. heh

Haha! Yay for my hometown! I'm so glad I never had to go work at one of the Arlington stores. I heard that the one on Cooper St. is hell. One guy got his knee busted in by robbers, but he did try to run so they company didn't pay for his hospital bills.

But, yeah, people try to rob Gamestop all the time so I don't see how this is big news.

um... Jack Thompson's quest is now fail. Because, given his awesome ideas on videogames, the two boys held at gunpoint should've known how to defend themselves, and not care much, since they had extra lives left. Unless they only play nintendo games ZING!

My local gamestop had a double murder in it way back in the day. The manager/assistant manager were shot and killed and only money was taken.

Blah. Knew the guys. =\
