The other day I finally purchased an Xbox 360, which I had been wanting to get for some time. Now, when I go to buy video games and consoles, the first place that comes to mind is GameStop. Why? Look at their fucking name, that's why.
Under normal conditions, I can understand why the employees there are so jaded and condescending when it comes to what they see. But when I made the purchase of the console as well as one game (Left 4 Dead), the look the young man gave me was priceless. It can only really be described as and O RLY? face mixed with a touch of "...but you're wearing a backwards hat, you should be pre-ordering Madden 2010".
In short, he must have thought that I was this guy.
This is the reason I believe GameStop employees hate the world. The myriad of bros only looking to play Madden with their frat brothers alongside the bevy of mothers asking about games their kids shouldn't be touching with a ten foot pole. Behind those two predominant groups you have the 11 year olds buying headsets for Live so they can talk shit while ruining the experience for anyone that has ears playing against them. Then there's me, the casual gamer who likes to shoot zombies and have a good time.
I wish I could tell the GameStop employee he had every right to be jaded, but then a vicious session of misery loves company woul have started, and that's what this blog is for.
