Frigging GameStop
So, I thought I'd go see if I could pick up a used copy of Diablo II last night while I was out. Sure, I've got it downloading right now, but I'll go legit if it doesn't cost me TOO much. I get to my local GameStop store, and it doesn't take but a 30 second glance around the store that they sell pretty much everything but PC games (let alone used ones). That's when the clerk decided to ask me if I needed anything.
Annoying Clerk: Can I help you with anything tonight, sir?
Cplbob: You guys don't sell used PC games, do you?
Annoying Clerk: Oh, not USED pc games, no. (lies)People don't turn in their PC games anymore. You see, since they came out with "the codes" (makes typing gesture in the air) that you have to put in to register the game, games are only good for once PC now.(/lies)
Cplbob: Oh, really? How do you figure?
Annoying Clerk: Well, sir, once you put that code into one PC, it isnt' good for any others.
Cplbob: That might be true of MMORPGs (saying this acronym in real life is usually a mistake because: 1. it takes alot longer to say this acronym in real life, and 2. it usually makes you (and by you, I mean me) feel foolish), but not other games.
Annoying Clerk: (annoyed look) Well, what else is there?
Fucking lying clerks. They just lost my $6 sale. He couldn't just tell me "No, sir, what you want to do is go to GameXchange/JL Records/CD Land/ANY OTHER PRE OWNED GAME STORE." He had to lie. He couldn't just tell me that he didn't know what he was talking about. He had to make shit up.
