I KNEW I had made this thread! I was thinking of random awesome scenes from movies today (again). Here are a few. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsqJFIJ5lLs"]http://www.youtube.c...h?v=FsqJFIJ5lLs

Let's just join all of them!

Merged made a league, Yant, I'll get the link here.

The main flaw with XIII was the fact that it was what it was.

My fucking mesmer would destroy all of you. Deal with it.

I emailed it to Rabbit.

Sometimes the pre-orders are bundled into the game and if the alotted time (two days, but most keep them for a week) runs out, then stores begin to sell through on the ones that had been there for reserves. One thing my final manager did that was fucking stupid was that he would sell through on ALL COPIES of the games. So if there was some Collector's edition out, he would sell it to any shmoe who came in asking for it. Totally not caring about reservations. When I told him it was a bad idea he said "We're going to get replenished anyway." Well two people didn't get their shitty collector's edition of some game (Mortal Kombat I think) and raged at us. We looked for stores nearby who had some and none did. My stupid manager's even fucking stupider idea was to tell the guy "Well let me look in the whole state of Texas." Point is, the guy reserved it, it shouldn't be sold. He didn't care. He thought he knew what he was doing and he didn't. I make sure to tell all employees he's incompetent. We sometimes do. Stuff like the shitty MvC3 skins we had a ton of afterwards. Sometimes we run out quick (LEGO Batman keychains ugh) and sometimes it's just a steady flow of getting rid of it. I quit though, .

Yes. I see that you are.

I thought I had seen the end of that proliferate bullshit. All these spoilers from Inistrad are just gonna make it worse. http://mtgsalvation....ad-spoiler.html WHITEBLACK MULTILANDS! BLUE GREEN?! WHITE-RED AND BLUE-RED?! AND THEY'RE BACK IN STANDARD?! I know that there were those colors for crack-lands and all that, but sometimes I like these a little more.

Who downvoted Tenshi's first post? That's just unnecessary.

Maybe when it comes to isolated situations. Though I think that 90% of managers/supervisors in any type of jobs are actually good people/workers. It just comes down to who you land with I guess. Some of those people worked their way to the top and some did not. Still most of the people there know how to put in jobs and all that. It's just some of those few who like the idea of having "all that power" and kind of let it get to them. This one in particular felt it'd be great to get rid of everyone who were both experienced and successful. Then he proceeded to bring in three employees who had just been hired and gave them the bulk of the hours because they had shown promise. Maybe I'm just an old vet from the company who feels that lack of experience from some employees will ultimately lead your company to ruin. I had five managers, and none of them ever had a problem with me. I didn't like the second one because he was just a grubby person in general. Different comments he made that revealed a character about him that I absolutely disliked. Though for the most part the "asshole manager" legend is something that's pretty overblown.

I wrote out 3500 words. I am having second thoughts about posting it, though.

Excel: Promoting teen pregnancy since forever?

That works too. I just made the mistake of talking too much with people and they kind of ended up hating me for it. When I say talk, I mean I talked for fucking hours sometimes. About stupid shit too like history. No one fucking likes history in high school. The fuck was I thinking?

1-Up: Promoting murder as defense since forever?

For Shaner? Seriously. Do what I did and keep your mouth shut for the first few weeks. That's when people try to weed you out. Trust me. I only started doing it after I made a dumb joke in class.

Never. D: The first, REAL DOUCHEBAG, I ever worked for was our first manager after my original was fired. He was there for about four months. Man he was an asshole. Though the biggest asshole we had was my previous manager. I'd go into reasons on why I left, but I'd just get pretty angry while typing them all out. Though I can say only those two, and that slut that the ladder brought in to work with us were the worst people I worked with. As far as I know, single issues are no longer available for sale. I never had people ask me to buy a single issue though. Strange, now that I think about it.

Well I was never offered to be blown. I know a couple of employees who have been. Both refused. Apparently one of them needed to get Call of Duty 3 for her boyfriend as soon as possible, and the store had closed. She offered the service and the guy said "Don't think your boyfriend would want you blowing me." She blew up and started screaming at him through the closed door and all that.

Favorite customer of mine had to have been a guy that came in about twice a week. Great guy that I had in different history classes over about three years at my college. Spent so much damn money at the store that he would bring a foldup chair with him to sit down and chat while his kids looked around. Great guy. Energetic and always positive. I still talk to him a lot as he works with my dad now at my dad's new job. Some of my favorite moments though had to have been from the different tournaments we ran. My old co-worker had entered in the Pokemon tournament as the even number player who was ineligible as far winning any prizes. Anyone that played against him would be an auto-win, but they still had to play against him. Well. This was for Pokemon Battle Revolution, my friend had tons of hacked pokemon and all that and was just looking to clean house. Then the first bracket goes up (about twenty four people total were there. I spread it out evenly and all that) and he's playing this tiny five year old girl. She looked right out of one of those commercials for downy clothing softener. She goes up with her stuff and enters her pokemon and all that. This chick was like a fuckin' Xena in the pokemon world apparently, because she had some 100's too. All of which were the exact predators of my friend's. Still , he dismissed her and all that shit as being a kid and not knowing what. Wipes the fucking floor with his face, or with whatever was left of it in the aftermath. She went on to win a free copy of the game as well as a 50 dollar gift card. She was so adorable. So adorable that when you turned around to tell your friends how cute she is she had a fucking Bowie knife in your spine. Had a Madden tournament once. View StaySick's profile for .gifs that may or not me of someone who is wearing a Greg Olsen jersey who may or may not have had too many cupcakes from the release and may or may not have been incredibly hyper. That was TOTALLY not me. One of my favorite moments ever, yeah. I loved Midnight releases and tournaments. Those were the best parts of the job. I had so much fun. I was demoing Dead Space 2 for people and we had all the lights in the store off and a speaker system set up. You know that intro scene where the television comes on in that pitch black room? Yeah. My voice rose about seventeen octaves as I screamed . Well this one fucking kid came in once and bought a Jak and Daxter PSP bundle during the holiday season. Wanna say it was about two weeks or a week and a half before Christmas. He came in with his mom and picked all the stuff out and yeah that was gonna be his gift. Well I showed him the box and everything, this was back when sony had those cheap-ass plastic covers covering the system itself (So if your plastic tore, the system became a stock broker from 1929) and you could see all the shit and all that. Well I sold him all the stuff and they even bought the PRP, was a pretty standard transaction that went quickly and smoothly, especially for it being the holidays. Well the mom comes back with the system and they have it out and everything, it's just brand new and silver and I thought maybe it was one of the dud's and I'll just switch it out for him. Well the mom said "He didn't know it was silver." Wat. It's a clear plastic window showing you the friggin' system itself. What else would it be? "Well. I mean. The box on the side shows it in silver and even the plastic window shows that it's silver." "Well, we couldn't tell." "It's transparent." "We weren't paying attention." "Okay, well what would you like to do with it?" "Can we get a black one?" "Bundles aren't made with black systems." "Oh that's alright, we'll just keep all this stuff." "Wat." Yes. I said "wat." "We'll just keep the free stuff from here." "I can't do that." "Why not?" "Because they're part of the bundle pack and if you return the bundle pack then you return everything inside of it. I told you that when you bought it." "Okay. Well. I'm going to keep it, and you're going to give me a black one?" "Okay. No." "Excuse me?" "No. I can't do that. Each system is coded with its serial number and if I give you a black system and put the silver one in our stock pack, then that is going to screw up the logs of the store." "What is a serial number." Sigh. "This." I flipped the PSP over. THERE WAS NOTHING THERE. Kid says "Oh that sticker? I took it off and threw it away." "Oh. Well I can't take the system back without the serial number anyway. Sorry." "WHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT?" Rage after that and the manager had to esplain it to her. Point is I couldn't switch systems because that would fuck up any future returns that might happen with it or any of the warranties with Sony if they were to break. Now because Sony requires you to have proof of purchase as well as the serial number, they'd assume something was up and that I sold them a bundle pack for a cheaper price and that can be acted upon. Fuck that.

I was lucky enough to never have been in one of those situations. Though I'll tell you a story on why our bathroom was off-limit to the public. Now, and I heard this from my old assistant manager, that when the store had first opened in the area (about two years before I started working there) that the original store manager was allowed to let people in to the restroom and all that shit. One guy came in and asked if he could go. Now most of you would think like "OH SHIT HE SHITCLOGGED THE TOILET WARRHH!" No. He did not Tacobell the toilet. Instead apparently, and this is what I had HEARD (I'm 90% sure it's false, but goddamn is it funny), the guy had dropped a Nessy and picked it up with a big roll of toilet papers and wrote "Fuck Gamestop" on the wall. Now. I know that's a robbery of one man's imagery. If that is true, then that first manager will never forget that. Got dang that's hilarious, though.

It even has a scope meter, so It'll hide important information from you about what happens to characters in certain books and even lists what characters may have said about specific events in the bottom.

No, don't think I met any people who were blind during my time there. There was a guy who pretended to be deaf though and would try to sell us those cards with sign language on it. One day a cabinet fell while he was inside and he reacted to it pretty appropriately. Just search the listings up on which store has a new copy and call to check if it's sealed. Copies that show up in online inventory (our database) don't show up with a specific amount. Just under four, four to nine, and ten plus.
