I stayed up late last night with [info]zartan and we got a copy of Smash Brothers around midnight. We had to go into this terrible fucking gamestop with the worst dolts of all time. I REMEMBER NOW REASON NUMBER 3 I HATED WORKING THERE! NERDS!

So ok the two people working the register were all right but the manager was fucking NERD CITY. And I mean I'm a nerd, I have no problem with nerds and I sort of have a nerd fetish (and by sort of I mean I have one). This SUPER DUPER nerd up at the front of the line was discussing video games (and by discussing I mean talking as if he were on a gamefaqs message board) and he mentioned that he hates madden (shock!).

The manager behind the counter, this bearded little dolt with glasses, goes "MADDEN IS THE NUMBER ONE GAME IN THE WORLD, MY FRIEND"

Yes, yes he did and yes I laughed forever.

MY FRIEND

you are not on the internet you can not talk like that unless you want me to throw you through a window

We got the game and brought it home and then drank ENERGY DRINKS (ok we drank STEVEN SEAGAL'S LIGHTNING BOLT ENERGY DRINK and yes it totally exists and yes it is pretty ok)

ANYWAY here's our code!

1633-3846-8220

EDIT: our profile name is P.Nov

tell us yours and we'll set you up

(so I can kick your ass)

(the joke is that I'm not very good at this game but I love to posture)

The very best thing about being forced to stand around in a Gamestop for a few minutes is telling lies in the form of a conversation you know is being eavesdropped upon, and picking up subtle clues in body language etc. that indicate the eavesdroppers are beginning to take your lies a little bit seriously:

"Can you believe Monster Trux Arenas is only twenty bucks new? That's insane! I'd have thought word of mouth, by now..."

"I know you're going to give me a little shit for saying this, but I played Go Diego Go! Safari Rescue while I was babysitting my nephew and man, if they'd used an original IP, that game would have actually been taken seriously and got some awesome reviews. I mean, you liked Chibi-Robo, right?"

Etcetera.

The trick is to punctuate your lies with the occasional semi-obscure fact, the kind that everyone knows but feels proud of themselves for knowing!

I;ll give you the boy's code later. If Izaac didn't have to get up early and drive his dad to the airport, it would be in our house now.

OMG THE CHILDREN ARE SO EXCITED

Steven Seagal never seemed particularly energetic to me.

Haha, yeah. Me and the store manager officiated our Brawl tournament. This one dude was all correcting me when I told everyone there were 22 characters initially available (counting Sheik), and he's like ACTUALLY THERE ARE 25 BECAUSE OF SQUIRTLE, IVYSAUR, AND CHARIZARD!!!

I could also hear people behind me discussing nerfing and wavedashing... and best of all, there was the one ubiquitous kid who loudly announced EVERY SINGLE ITEM when it appeared. It totally WAS a real-life version of GameFAQs' message boards.

Also, I'd pay for plate glass delivery to see you toss that manager through it. FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS PLAY MADDEN

I've worked for EB/Gamestop for 3 1/2 years, and even though I still love video games (9 different versions of Puzzle Bobble and counting!), working there has made me realize exactly why people don't take nerds or gamers seriously: most of them are retarded and don't know how to act in public.

I mean, even Trekkies do community service! Gamers just call people fags on XBox Live or argue why Final Fantasy VII was the epitome of gaming.

A few quotes from my night:

"Dude Wario keeps winning matches"
"He's overpowered"
"Yeah, he's like....he's like the WARLOCK OF SMASH BROTHERS!"
AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"Buy this game, Cody. It's for the win. You have to buy it."
".....what?"
"For the win. F T W."

"Whoa who's that crazy batman dude?" (looking at Metaknight)

"Look this game has Jigglypuff! I love Jigglypuff!" (pointing at Kirby)

"See? You lost. You should've picked Blanka." (OK actually that was me)
