I pre-ordered Doom V.
Tuesday, July 27th, 2004 - 1:37pm
So I went into software Etc. yesterday to buy "The Longest Journey" for 10 bucks. While I was in there I decided to pre-order Doom3. Although I am going to wait for reviews, I figured most of them will be out before the game ships and it would be good to have one just in case.
Anyway, I grab my games and try to ignore the 3 whitekids beatboxing and dancing at the xbox(I wanted to kick them all in the head), and walk up to the counter and expect the guy to pitch me some crap. However, that doesn't happen and he rings up my game and I began thinking, wow this is a pretty decent experience.
He responds with, "How much would you like to pay on Doom 5..."
*Sigh*

How can you work in a game store and make a mistake like that?
I often tell my corporate masters that the constant pushing of reservations or pre-orders on people just makes them uncomfortable and creates a negative shopping experience. They just don''t want to hear it.

Forget Doom, what was the name of that beatboxing game?

<tangent> TLJ. Pretty good adventure game. I think it got all the ""socially progressive"" press because the main char''s landlord was a lesbian. Ooooo!
They don''t make these puzzle/adv style games in the Kyrandia/Gabriel Knight mold anymore. I wonder why that is? They were like the next step from Infocom games.

That''s the one thing I don''t like about summer, having to maneuver around all the kids acting like complete dorks when I''m browsing around EB during my lunch hour. School can never start soon enough as far as I''m concerned.

I played the leaked alpha. It''s not all that great.

Amen. Not just about EB, but also any restaurant.
Just lock em all up in the school gymnasium during the summer with nothing but a box of cheerios and a jar of marshmallow fluff.. then see who survives the entire summer. Instant science experiment that is fun AND educational!!

Wow. At least they were multi-tasking!
Yeah, I agree.
Having to step on all the little kiddies to get at the PC wall, which, BTW, is all the way in the back, like the pornos used to be, is annoying.
It''s like you have to be Jackie Chan, Mikhail Barishnikov, and Barry Sanders all rolled into one.
And they all smell too. I hate that.

The PC section has really gone to heck, hasn''t it? At the EBGames here, they just cram as many PC games as they can onto the shelves with no regard for order, mixing new and used into untidy random piles. Nasty.
Everything can be debated, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's debatable.

That is so true; it took me forever to find ""The Longest Journey"" yesterday.

I never minded piracy. Anyone who minds about piracy is full of sh*t. Anyone who pirates your game wasn't going to buy it anyway! -Warren Spector
The one near my house is like that, but the new one over in Mobile was pleasantly surprising. Even their used games were in Alphabetical order.

I think it is wrong to generalize.
I mean, c''mon. Have you even MET Jackie Chan, Mikhail Barishnikov, and Barry Sanders?

No not really, I would love to murder each and every one of those fools, I''m sure they were near my age too.
On a side note, the EB at RidgeMall is very clean and organized. Although the PC section is in the back, it is quite big. The entire back wall and then a bit on the right wall. One side is new releases the other is old and used games. Its usually not crowded with douchebags either since theres a Spencers and Hot Topic very near to lure them away. I always visit that place if I''m in the area.
