well metal gear solid is rated M. I does stink for you but the fact that Gamestop would actually still pay attention to those ratings at a midnight launch (even this tiny) is honorable.

That was your brother that walked in, not you.

Best Buy checks the rating too. It beeps when he scans the item, trust me they'll look at you and ask for ID. Lucky for me, I'm 24 :)

Well maybe they look "mature" for their age and probably still have the baby face thing going on.

Haha, that sucks. The ratings rules have gotten more serious in the past two years.

When i was 16 i would just sweet talk the gamestop guys about videogames and have interest in what they had to say about the games they liked. Then i would purchase an M rated game no questions asked. now its different.

If a girl, yes you could probably get away with it.

If a guy did that, hmmmmm yeah, well...let's just leave that one in the air.

Like I said before:

Girl: Will most likey get away with it (if cute)

Guys: Hmmmmm

Plus you didn't say game talking, I believe you said "Sweet talking" Now if a guy "sweet talks" to another dude, I must say that someone is playing on the other team.

Just be glad your mom would let you borrow her credit card. My dad would never let me borrow his for a videogame. And get used to having to be old enough, it will only get worse.

Pshh, sweet talking male cashiers is more common for guys now considering how they are nearly all gay I was able to knock of 80% of my Anchor Blue purchases one time (I do not go back there because it kinda creeped me out) and don't even get me started on Starbucks.

So, I take it you play on the other team?

also, speak for yourself. I would never "sweet talk" another dude. Now that is why you found yourself creeped out now.

I completely got screwed by my gamestop for the midnight launch. I walked in at 10:30 and was immediately approach by the retailer who asks what i'm here for. I reply that i want to purchase the PS3 MGS bundle and told he has 1 left and to get in line. I stand and line and start talking the $^!& with the others at that time. Around 11:45 some girl walks in and stands in line around 10 people back. Finally twelve hits and I walk up to the counter and ask for the bundle. A different retailer says that they have 1 left and they promised it to the girl back over there. I turn around to the first retailer and said, "You told me that you had 1 bundle left to purchase". That effing guys replies, " I thought you meant the LE of MGS". I just say I don't care and that you are lying because you have 20 copies of the LE right on the counter here. The cashier says, "Sorry guess you're out of luck." I lose my composure and bit and say in heavier tone, "No i'm not. She's out of luck because I waited in line well before she came in." At this time they say, "We're going to have to ask you to leave or we're going to call the authorities to escort you out." I know I can just go to Target tomorrow morning and buy but its mainly the principle here that really is pissing me. They weren't taking preorders for the bundle and even if the retailer misunderstood what I mean by PS3 MGS bundle for LE MGS4. I'm not the one who should me sorry. I just needed to rant a bit.

Same in australia. I never had that problem because when I was underage they weren't as strict on ratings and now that I'm 20 It doesn't affect me anymore.

Its not like I try to do it. I'm a generally nice person and thought nothing of the discounts. But when I tell my female friends its like "Looks like you made a new friend" and then they whine about why couldn't it have been them. (this just sounds worse than before...crap). But how can one resist to feed the fire when some guys are better looking than girls?

The moral of all this is to always use the buddy system.

Being a nice person is always good, I have nothing wrong with it. But you just prove to me with that bold comment that I stand by what I said before.

You calling it "use the buddy system". I could think of so many other names to put it, but wish not to say because of being modded.

Yeah, I always say stuff like that sometimes though because I practically want people to think that so I can surprise them with the truth. You may not ever "sweet talk" a guy but If you're nice do you think some guys would get the wrong idea?

Why would you want to surprise them with the truth. Wouldn't that sorta be playing with emotions or leading them on?

Being nice and "sweet talk" is a WHOLE different thing my friend.

Sorry, I should have said that I only try to confuse girls. For male cashiers its usually by accident but hopefully its a one time pass like at Anchor Blue. What is classified as sweet talk between guys when buying products?

Seriously! For the past like 6 months not a single guy at the cashier. The girls are tough to crack too, I'm 20 but they don't give into my charm. I still prefer girl cashiers because guys at a videogame store are usually dumb slackers that make me ashamed to be playing videogames. I wouldn't doubt its easy where you are. If I had a boring job I would want to keep the scenery looking as best as it can.
