Your Leg Thrusts Are So Powerful

If you are anything like me, you have a love-hate relationship with Game Stop. Not only are you constantly bombarded with pre-ordering pressure the very second you set foot in their store but if you do happen to relent and pre-order a title, they don’t necessarily save it for you and instead gladly sell it to the first walk in customer of the day. Thankfully their excellent deals for used games make up for any potential shortcomings. (cough SARCASM cough) If you find the phrases “We see every new person that enters our store as a dollar sign with hands and feet” and “Perhaps you would like something from our overpriced used section” evenly remotely accurate, you will enjoy this Halo 3 parody machinima titled “The GunStop Way”.
Instant classic!
I’m not big on game stop or much of anyplace that tries to sell me stuff before I have even both feet in the door. Having worked in retail as a CSR and a manager I have a great deal of empathy for those working in that industry, I bend over backward when mistakes are made on their part and things of that nature. I feel like I owe them for dealing with all the crap other people give them but it really tilts me when pressure salesmanship comes into play when I’m willingly walking into a store.
Asking me if you can help me find something is great but asking me if i want to buy something with no understanding of why I’m there or what my interests are is annoying.
That said, I did recently get saved by a game stop employee. I was about to buy the recharger for my Wii controllers and they advised that it voids my warranty and may actually break the controllers so that was cool.
Made my week! :-)
That was great!
I especially enjoyed it because I work for Best Buy, lmao!
^_^
I’m so glad we don’t have this “Gamestop” in England, just gamestation, where the guy at the counter lol’s at you for asking to rent a game…
A friend of mine showed this to me about two weeks ago, and I nearly fell out of my chair laughing.
This viewing produced the same result. Instant classic.
Thank god that our Gamestores are 100% gamer run and the only thing they try is to pwn you in a game of Mario kart or COD4 if there aren’t much customers. I should know I work in one myself.
I’ve never had the problem of them breathing down my neck about buying something. Then again, I never really go there. The only thing I bought there was some On-Sale Halo 3 stuff after the hype died down.
Eh. I guess my Gamestop is ok. Seems like mine is a lot nicer then all the others.
damn funny
Defiantly one of the best clips i have seen in a long time.
My God. I’m in love.
Damn funny, but at the Gamestop near my house, they are so careful about selling games. I show my i.d, then buy a rated-m game. The next day I go to by another one, I forget my i.d at home. The same worker then refuses to sell me a different rated-M game.
