I pre-ordered Star Ocean: The First Departure, Castlevania: Order of Eccelsia, and Ninjatown yesterday (I didn't get my plushie yet though--none in stock :( the assistant manager promised me one though, maybe two if no one else orders it.) I would have pre-ordered a lot more, but many of you have heard of the large-chested b*tch that stole my job at Gamestop. Yup, she was there. I didn't want to help her numbers, so I told her I was just pre-ordering 3 for now, since I didn't have any more monies. But I think she noticed the other 20$ in my checkbook. O.o
I was really pissed off though, because she has this way of doing this....thing. I mention a game I have, liked, played, or would like to play, and she bashes it. and I would accept that bashing if she knew what the hell she was talking about.
Example: I borrowed Warcraft III from Note. The main reason I borrowed it is not because RTS is my thing, but because I like WoW but would like to hear some background story on the Lich King. So I have the case sitting on my desk. she walks into my room (she thinks we're best friends, so she invites herself over, even when I already have friends over, and sometimes in nothing but a bath towel--this happened TWICE). She looks at the case, picks it up, and says "Oh my God, Warcraft 3! You're kidding, right?" I give her a weird look and tell her I haven't played it yet. "Ok, good. That game is terrible."
Um. Ok. You work at Gamestop. You should know that's one of the most highly rated RTS games EVAR. Your opinion means squat to me. I mean, why would they make an MMO based around it if it sucked? For the record, this girl owns a ps2. She has a psp, but "I don't play it anymore because Crisis Core was the only good game for it." She plays 1. Japanese RPGS and 2. Platformers. Yes, platformers. Now I love platformers. But upon sitting on her futon the other day and looking at her "collection" (read: every Crash Bandicoot game on the ps2, and 3 JRPGs) I felt kinda sick that the manager would hire her (remember I mentioned she has big boobs? yup, there's your answer). She doesn't know jack about video games.
When I tell her that I want to pre-order Star Ocean for the PSP, she laughs this shrill, godawful laughter.
"Oh my GOD, why would you want that?" She exclaims. I raise an eyebrow and glance at the assistant manager. He makes a gun with his fingers and puts it to his head.
I think that explains it right there.
