GAME shops, and the company, good and bad points people??

[yankeedoodle]

Hmmm , well so far i havent seen any discussion on the "mother" company "game". U kno the firm that actually runs this site and sells u the games people???

I think it would be important to hear opinions on this matter either way, so come on, dish the dirt, or compliments even, there must be people out there with somthing to get off their chest.....

BTW i havent got an opinion, im supposed to be the devils advocate, as i have started the thread......

it also may be interesting to see is any game website employees respond to any comments... we are after all a democracy with free speech.....

 

[Clowneh!]

whats ur discussion?

 

[nath]

Sweet jesus, let it end!

 

[Gekul]

What's with the....
trailing off sentences....
and multiple question marks????

 

[yankeedoodle]

its called "lazy grammar".

as far as the discussion, im trying to get any comments about the actual retail experience of the GAME shops themselves, whether people have axes to grind about the company, or any compliments or maybe comments about the way the company seems to work (or not work).

After all, your local GAME shop is where you get your copy of "EVE online" or whatever isnt it?

Jesus wet...new faces attack the General forums, could of done with Bodhi

Summo, maybe you have not bought games at either "game" or "electronics boutique", as you have not expressed an opinion?

**sigh** So much for actual mature debate. It seems all forums run the same way, and this one doesnt disappoint in my low expectations. ;-) Much like web chat, mostly full of kids spouting purile drivel.

I would have expected more from a Mod, but hey, that's life.

BTW, new faces? I was probably gaming before you were a twinkle in your daddies eye sonny! ( "When I were your age" , "pesky kids" etc.)

 

[S-Gray]

Ive bought games from them?

Walk into shop, pickup game, hand over cash reluctantly, walk out.

The end

Its the end for most things too... as you can see from many threads in this forum.

The end. (again)

1. Somone tell me, was that reluctant praise, or a subtle insult?
2. What is your age then, Embattle?

Is (D-) a D- in brackets or just a really weird smiley?

FREE BODHI

man, at least hes better than flaky.. chill

 

[yankeedoodle]

Okay i see. I just thought it reasonable that people that actually use game.net service and game shops may actually have some interesting points or anecdotes to share with the rest of us gamers, or are we here just to trade "in jokes" off each other?

Well i may as well start with my contribution to the thread, ( even though i said i wasnt going to, but somones gotta start)

Things overheard in a local GAME store:-

customer to salesman: "do u sell games?"

salesman "yes madam, right behind you"

the patience of the game employee amazed me.

old biddy customer: "which way do you put the CDrom in?"

What shops have you been in before? Have you only ever been in cornershops owned by grumpy old bastards?

 

[Clowneh!]

okay fair enough, it may be easier just to put in "Overheard: dumbest things said to game salesmen"

ie

kid to game dude "is GTA vice city coming out on PS1?"

"is HALO coming out on PS2?" (as if) etc etc

BTW actual things i have heard.

 

[mank!]

Please desist.

That doesn't stop you being a new face, though. I fail to see how they're related, infact.

Well excuse me!

I believe its the 'general' forum, for 'general' discussion. Can someone actually tell me what floats peoples boats on this forum? Maybe then we will have something to talk about. ;-)
