Sounds like every EB in my neck of the woods.
Example (from a few months back):
SA: do you guys have SMT: Persona 3?
EB Guy: No.
SA: are you GOING to have SMT: Persona 3?
EB Guy: Probably not.
NOTE: to enjoy other enthralling episodes of SA deals with brain-dead sales associate, please insert the name of your game of choice into slot containing "SMT: Persona 3".

People like that piss me off. Seriously. It not only makes me look bad, but makes me wonder just how the fuck these idiots stay employed. I actually had one of my co-workers tell me he respected the job I did, and that surprised the shit out of me because I'm just like "Hey, I just treat customers how I want to be treated."

They did tell me to call in tomorrow to see if they get their bonuses, but I highly doubt that.

I actually had one of my co-workers tell me he respected the job I did, and that surprised the shit out of me because I'm just like "Hey, I just treat customers how I want to be treated." The reasons assholes like that still have jobs HERE is because our local economy is through the roof right now. Keeping people in service industry jobs is next to impossible because you can get jobs for $20/hr + that require you stand around and do nothing, so keeping people in a position where you're paid $8- $10/hr dealing with thoughtless, miserable assholes with giant wads of cash in their pockets, pissed as hell because you don't have Haylow 3 or GH3 in stock is tough to do. A fast food worker or an EB games clerk could likely shit in the cash register drawer while smoking a joint and telling the customers to fuck themselves with impunity at this point, thanks to the ridiculous shortage of chumps people who will work for next to nothing when you could pretty much walk out your front door and trip over a pile of job offers for good money. It's disgusting here right now... |

Don't worry, the bottom will fall out of it very soon.  |

Hmm... Good point. Plus, it's getting cold.

Meteos is a fun game.
I bought it a little while ago and just got to playing it tonight.
Similar to Puyo-Puyo (my favorite puzzle game of all time) with its own cool twists.
I fear this may become addictive.
But anytime spent with my DS is a happy one, so its worth it! ;D

SvR08 for DS somehow had a really cool concept and made it way too hard to actually make you want to keep playing it.
I hate button mashing, why would I love stylus (or if you have an original DS and can't find anything but DS lite styluses anywhere, PEN CAP) mashing that will probably fuck my screen up even more than it is now? Seriously, kicking out of a pin hurts your hand.

I'm sure you already played Puyo Puyo/Pop Fever right?? |

I WAS gonna buy SvR08 for the Wii back before we knew anything about it, but once more information came out (not just on the Wii version, but overall game), I kinda backed off. I never planned to get the DS version, though. 20 wrestlers? Sure, that's weeding out the crap that no one is going to play as anyway, but still. Shouldn't they be able to squeeze in as many guys as in N64 WWE games? I thought No Mercy had a pretty sizeable roster, and figured they could do it on the DS, too. Eh, anyway, I think this is the first year in a while that I WON'T be buying the new SmackDown! game. FPR FTW.

Well, they cheat on No Mercy. See, it's a lot like Fire Pro; all the in-game wrestlers are created using the in-game engine, instead of being separately and specifically modeled.

Mm. That makes sense. By the way, I know this isn't the place to talk about it, but anyone hear the rumor that they (THQ?) might put out a WiiWare game of No Mercy with an up-to-date roster? That'd be cool, but I dunno how likely that is...

Actually, that would be quite awesome. All they'd need to do is just update some textures and they'd be good to go. Plus, it'd add a stream of quick revenue with relatively light turn-around time. they could even update it fairly regularly. I love that idea.
