Those GameShop corporations and their register shilling. You’d never get that from the fine folks at Level Up Studios!

Email your video game related LOLZ to and if it's good we'll post it!
Did you know the site has over 2,500 video game themed lolz? 
I will now commit an ancient taboo.
first.
I have hereby ruined the track record of halolz.
i'm even more of a douche then the guy in this video.
except to be fair it really isn't THAT bad in real life. I love gamestop.
I find the power up rewards cards to be great. I got an awesome zombies poster that you can't get otherwise
<img src="http://cdn.gamerant.com/wp-content/uploads/Call-of-the-Dead-Poster.jpg">
fuck yeah
So I have two questions. Is the butt rape, and the member slapping program free? Because I don't think I can pay sixty-dollars and listen to this spiel every time I do go gameshopping. Might as well get it out of the way, right lads?
And people wonder why I pirate games.
Hey, your user name and profile pic is a big spoiler :P
Thank you Steam and Amazon for removing the social interaction aspect from buying games.
Was anyone else half-expecting him to accept the butt-fucking? Although maybe I've been watching too much SMBC Theatre. rel="nofollow">https://
Man with all those savings and deals, turning them down would be like taking a slap to the face.
…-sits in corner-
you can't blame them, it's not the employe, it's the corporation. what really gets me is their level of ignorance on games. i ask them a question even i don't know, and they're all hurr durr is that for xbox?
even with george A romero on it, i wouldn't get a generic fps.
But you never get the shiny boxes when you buy from steam…
I do so miss the boxes…
They're like hats for our CD's.
And here I thought the reason was because it doesn't cost you as much money.
I agree! I thanked god I finished the game about a month before I saw it.
Also why does that poster have Stan Lee on the front?
I still have some old games that were packed with huge boxes, and then you open them up and there's only this square space in the middle with my CD case and this cool manual that I'd actually enjoy reading.
Man, goddamn nostalgia.
Game Shops? Barely seen 'em.
They seem to be shutting down a lot recently here. My local shopping mall had 2-3 of them a few years ago, now I can't see ANY. I still enjoyed buying games there, though I still know a few shops with insane deals (1-5€ games for sale which should be around 15-20€ or more).
Yep, I still prefer buying games non-digitally.
This is clearly fake! The employee never asked him if he would like to pre-order a game.
That reminds me of this time last year where I went to go trade in some crappy Gamecube games, and when it got to NBA Live 03, the guy told me that I would actually have to pay Gamestop for them to take it off my hands. I don't know if he was joking or not, but I have never gone back there since.
*sigh* fine I'll change it then
It's not stan lee, it's george romero
I use to have 3 gamestores in my mall 2 "Gamestops" and 1 "Play N Trade". The play and trade had potential to be awesome, they had a set up in the back for LAN parties with huge flat screens but the guy never used them. He eventually was pushed into a smaller store and then shut down a little while later.
It.. it it it… it… ITS TRUE!!!!

I remember when I would buy my games in boxes and they would give you a 2 inch thick box that only held 2 cds and a small manual.
Gamestop has no games!
I always got my Games from the HMV down in Richmond (not far), now is been replaced by a River Island…. SO I have to go down into either Kingston, Hammersmith or Westfield to find a GAME outlet
Ha Ha Ha. Your pre-order bonuses have no effect on Me Gamestop!
I have been blessed with the wondrous power of….. NO MONEY!!!
Or go to somewhere that doesn't offer those "deals".
*puts you on naughty step*
Don't turn around until you've thought about what you've done.
I thought it was so you don't have to support hard working developers.
I didn't even have to hear a human voice to buy The Old Republic… civilization is taking strides
i always wondered where ur avatar came from
no not the blue cats your icon
Well, I'll give them the fact that they can't know ALL the games off the top of their heads, but I asked them what they use to check the stuff and now I'll never have to ask them a question ever again. They use…THE INTERNET. (Totally kills the "magic") In any case, thy really do rip you off. I sold Conduit 1 &2, plus a copy of Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2 for $36.00. Not bad, but considering that each game you get new for roughly $49.99 and that unlike SOME people, you take care of your game disks, cases, and manuals, that's a real shot below the belt.
LOL he's just in everything.
I remember me and my friend going into a gamestop once asking for New Super Mario Bros Wii. The dumbass at the counter says "What's Mario?" then me and my friend just left and went to Target.
Yeah like Nintendo, Sony, and EA just so they can turn their backs on us to destroy the internet. The funny part: None of their games are worth pirating anyway, Nintendo games are usually worth buying though.
What I tend to do is go to Best Buy if a game is already out that I want, and GameStop *shudders* when there's a midnight launch of a really popular title. I often pre-order the game in advance and treat the pre-order like a sort of layaway until the release date. Sometimes they get some fun stuff at the pre-orders, or they have random customers ACTUALLY COSPLAY (no joke). This one dude in my local store dressed up like Toon Link from Wind Waker to pick up his copy of Skyward Sword. I thought that was pretty dedicated.
PREPARING GRAMMAR HAMMER!
<img src="http://www.absoluteanime.com/sonic_x/amy.jpg" alt="Grammar Hammer!"/>
…I was thinking more like the smaller companies like Double Fine.
wel, i sold marvel vs scrubcom 3, not the ultimate dlc version, the vinalla, for 10 dollars, i think that's a fucking good deal considering how bad the game was
Social…interaction…?
and then god created steam, and it was good! it vanquished the horrible gamestop and freed the more masses from the bullshit prices and the product pushing. …………………………………………….and then there was cake, and there was much rejoicing.
I still do Gamestop half of the time cause I like pretty-pretty promos that come with games that don't have hat promos for steam.
All the indie developers I can greatly understand, but Nintendo, Sony, and EA are all on my hit list. But EA was already on it so they get double the hate!
you don't need the game to get the poster. just 17000 rewards points.
I've had a friend who has worked in retail for companies like Borders. They ask people to sign up for those memberships because they get they get yelled at if they don't fill a certain quota of people signing up. :(
I remember seeing like an ad for like Kingdom Hearts 365/2 days, so I go to gamestop, ask the girl at the till if they had any copies yet… the reply I get.
"I don't know, what the hell is a heart kingdom?"
and the commercial I saw was for gamestop,
so I go to the DS games, find it easily, go back to the till to buy it
I end up having to wait 15 minuets to buy my game because the girl was talking on her cell phone
Your grammer hammer is broken.
Work phone or personal? Work, yeah they have to answer that. Personal, you throw the game at their head.
Then how are you paying for the electricity?
They still have product pushing, it's just subtle and ignorable.
A member slap!
If talking about that "new hot guy at the mall" is work then yes, if not then ya, i should have. I was young then and I learned a bunch of new words there too!
for example a word I learned there was b- *message deleted*
That is one abstract grammar hammer.
Ooh, is it time to rant about Gamestop? That's one of my favorite things to do. First off, I would like to point out that I have NEVER bought any games from that horrible place. I never did because I was too bitter about Gamestop running my favorite local used video game store out of business. After the local store finally had to shut down, I went to Gamestop and saw that they didn't even sell any games older than PS2. Classic games are the only reason I go to used game stores. Another reason I refuse to go there is because of all of the horror stories I've heard about the corporation. For instance, I heard that they buy used games then stick them right on the shelf and sell them as new. And I hate those annoying stickers. They are the hardest things in the world to take off and when you finally manage to remove a sticker, there's always some sticky residue and little bits and pieces of sticker left behind. And of course one of these annoying things is not enough. They have to decorate the damn game box with them. The stickers all say the same thing so why isn't one enough?
That's kind of like those asholes at GameStop

More like thank you steam for actually selling PC games
f*cking gamestop rarely sells anything more than WoW and expansions
I actually liked gamestop as I had the good fortune to deal with the few good stores or at worst the ones staffed by elderly people who know nothing about games but know how to run a register and keep stock orderly enough to check if they have something even if they can’t use the computer but I recently have found one with the annoying up-selling policy and they actually went through the entire list of cards, warranties, guides and then asked like three times if I was sure there wasn’t anything I wanted to preorder.
Never sold games to them tho as I feel the prices they offer are a slap in the face when you can see what they turn around and resell the games for.
Why in the hell are Activision, Capcom, or Ubisoft not on there (especially if you're blacklisting pubs/devs for their customer relations)?
my local town only ahd 1 until about 2 months ago, now there are 5 wuthin 15 minutes drive form me, 3 of them are SO CLOSE TOGETHER that i can walk out of one adn see the other 2 across the street.
Does no one understand, that they have to do it? It's part of their job, it's shitty as hell, but they have to, and I swear why won't it let me comment. Oh well, it's not like you're going to see this.
