These stories are hi-larious! "Do you sell mod chips?" "Go ahead, ask me what I sell." "What do you sell?" "I sell video games. What a stupid question." "What does a mod chip cost?" "Apparently one of us isn't keeping up." "What do you mean?" "If I sold you a mod chip, then you would never buy a game from me ever again. And that would be very much in opposition to my being able to run a profitable business." "I just want one to play copied games." "What? Do I look like an idiot? What the hell did you think I thought you wanted it for?" "Err…" "Exactly. Now look, if I were to sell you a mod chip I would lose you as a customer. Now, if I were going to lose you as a customer I'd rather do it on a high note like setting you on fire. At least then I would have some satisfaction of a job well done." "I'm leaving!" "But I haven't set you on fire yet!"
2 more classics: "We would like a quote for the front page of the newspaper talking about videogame violence, and it's possible impact on society." "Video games don't make people more violent, and I'll kill anyone who disagrees." (dramatic pause) "I don't think we can print that." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Do you have an easier version of Wheel of Fortune?" "An easier version? It's hangman with money." "The puzzles are too hard. It should give a hint." "I can't really see anything good coming from that." "Like 'You Don't Know Jack' with the multiple choice answers." "Multiple choice Wheel of Fortune?" "Exactly." "You haven't thought this though at all." "Can I exchange it for Jeopardy?" "If you though Wheel of Fortune was hard, you're going in the wrong direction."
I rather liked these two: Guy walks in who is about 19. "Do you give cash for PlayStation games?" "Yes, but we give less for cash than credit." "Ok. Well I've got nearly 50 of them" and he sets his sports bag on the counter and opens it. He then begins to unload the games onto the counter. "Do you have any games that aren't copies of games?" "You said you paid cash for games!" "I see. So what you're saying here is you're ****ing r****ded?" "How about $5 a game?" "How about you just get the hell out and stop wasting my time?" "You said!..." "Let's see…so you expect me to pay more for copied games than what it cost you to make them?" "It's how I make money." "Fine…fine. " *The Gord grabs CDs and starts to snap them* "What are you doing?!??" "Isn't it obvious?" Guy starts tossing what games he can back into his bag to save what he can. "I'm never coming back!" "Don't forget to tell your mom about me!" And he left, never to return. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once upon a time, The Gord had a friend named Mike. Tthis friend named Mike had been given a Gameshark. Only this GameShark was not a normal Gameshark, it was evil and, possessed dark spirits within! It had a curious gift. This particular GameShark would blow out the PlayStation motherboard micro-fuses rendering the expansion port inoperable. At the time, no thought was given to harnessing this power for evil. A few months later a customer had brought in a GameShark that did not work. The Gord tested it, found it did not work and in fact blew our the micro-fuses like the Mike's GameShark did. This time, an evil idea was born! "I'll give you $5 for it." "Uhm...sure." The Gord buys the GameShark. Then The Gord left it on the counter begging to be stolen! Far from the computer where The Gord completed his transactions, and conveniently hidden from his sight by a flyer folder. Would-be thieves would count their lucky stars at how tempting this target was. Finally, a couple weeks later, it was stolen! The Gord was a happy Gord. Not only would it not work, but it would blow out the expansion port of any machine it was plugged into. Over the next three weeks, The Gord went from fixing no expansion ports for customers ever to more than ten during that time. The Gord's retribution was at hand, and the GameShark was doing its job well. This exercise was very profitable for The Gord.
THose are some pretty good stories. I reallly liked the one about the guy trying to buy the modchip...that was funny.
I read through that whole entire site. (Mostly cause I like videogames and stores like these.) The ones where he chases down thiefs and beats the crap outta them are hilarious!
This one cracked me up: Ten year old child brings Grant Theft Auto to the counter and asks to rent it. Gord speaks to the father. "Sir, might I suggest a different game? This title isn't really a title for children due to inappropriate material." "Why is that?" "Substantial violence and swearing." "Holy ****! You're ****ting me! I can't expose my son to god damned swear words at his age. That sort of **** will **** him up. That's bull**** they make games with swearing. What son of a b**** would make a game like that?" *dramatic pause* *Gord types into the computer* Note: Nathan can rent mature games - so says his father. "Here's your game. See you in a couple days."
Isnt there someone here on CC.net who is also an employee or owner of a p*rn video store? I bet he would have some funny stories. Spill on aisle 9..............
I gotta stop reading it... It reminds of how STUPID people are that I deal with everyday and I'm getting a bad attitude.
that site rocks...i stayed up late last night reading most of it...thanks fadeaway now i have something to do all day at work.
I liked these. NOTE TO SELF Talking to a person about being into the hardcore gaming scene is completely different than talking to them about the hardcore anime scene. In future, I must find a new adjective. And do not, I repeat, do not say "if she is really into the hardcore anime scene, I can get import DVDs from Japan and Hong Kong" when I'm talking to a 14 year old girl's mother. Further notation: Do not attempt to salvage this by then saying "I mean, I can get DVDs from Japan that you can't get here." Next time, say "really likes anime" and "can get DVDs not on sale here yet." Ask An Honest Question, Get An Honest Answer "Which of these two games is better?" "Is syphilis better than AIDS?" That Would Be A Bad Sound The Gord is looking at some new rental cases that have arrived at the store for possible purchase. These were the slim line ones often found in CDR packages today, but were still quite new at the time. A soft, bendable plastic that won't shatter when dropped. "Thinking of using these as new rental cases, Gord?" "Possibly. They are sexy and I can fit twice as many in a drawer, but I'm not sure about if they'll keep the CD from being bent." "Ya, I see what you mean, all it takes is someone to do this and...." <SNAP!> <Dramatic pause> "....Uhm..sorry, Gord." "Please say that was a demo CD." <Dramatic Pause> "... I'm really, really sorry..." The Gord decided to stick with regular jewel cases until he migrated to DVD cases in mid 2001.
this is one the the most amusing sites in recent memory. i got home at like 2 last night and spent an hour and a half reading all the stories. hilarious bc THATS HOW PEOPLE ARE! theyre that dumb..and im an optimist
Yeah, I also spent a lot of time reading these stories. Some of my favorites include 1. a guy spending $95 for Japanese Final Fantasy 9 so he wouldn't have to wait, but then coming back complaining that the game is in Chinese and he can read it. 2. A guy actually said 8+3 was 12. 3. A guy asks if NHL 99 was any good and he learns that it is just like nhl 98 except it sucks. He then buys it. 4 and a guy asking for used playstations for sale, then any playstations for sale that are used.
