Lol. Shiba you reminded me of that fat bald guy on MTV years back that would connect the dots from people to people through movies, music and whatever other connections. Ie my Mothers hairdressers dogs groomer went to Subway, where Sam worked and he was the cousin of Tim who runs the shop down in Church Street. Tims kid plays Little league Football with the son of the guy who makes Philly Ice for my Moms boss every tuesday.
To clarify, I dont care much for who published a game. I thought perhaps there was an easy way to tell if the name at the bottom of the box was merely the publishers, or the developers themselves. The fine example you made reminded me that it isnt as simple as a name anyway, as employees change hands, companies switch around, etc etc as was clearly described in your example. But a general gist of who touched the game is what Id like to have.
The main reason, other than just because I want to know, is I like ALOT of stuff. Its not like normal gamers whereas they usually stick to 1 or 2 particular genres. I like everything but sports and family games. Ill play those, but Id rather not. Ill ask other employees or see if they can help the customer... whatever the situation entails, but since I have such a broad range of interests, Id like to know what I can.

Uh oh the honey moon period is over for ryan - talk to us buddy. you're not alone.
Not in this fucking thread your not! Besides Emsley, he traded swag for the China experience. Good trade.
Shiba, black friday is not far off! Perhaps you can grab a TV then! Having one spoils you, you will NEVER want to watch sports at someones house who doesnt have one, once you have one.
Cinder, thats quite nice. Wish I had all my old systems and games... Yea in a living room having a bigger TV is nice. I see both you and Vincent upgraded due to this reason.
In my room the 32" seems just right. I could always go bigger, if I wanted to shell it out but its unnecessary. I dont plan on a stereo system like Shiba said, as the Turtle Beach headphones give me everything I need. Heh... I forgot about the new chair. I still gotta test it out.

P.S. Fuck Walmart. I fucking hate buying games there. Yea yea Id pick up whatever game in your scenario. I did just that for FFXII, Im just saying.
-
Yeah as you get a little older gaming positions are harder to hold.
LOL no... I dont care how old you are, lying on your side for more than 12 hours, even with brakes, will make you uncomfortable.
-
So yea, I love my job!
I dont know what to say, other than I really like going to GameStop. I cant explain it. Perhaps it reminds me of Rhino Videogames when they were still around.
Dunno. But I always liked coming to this store, and am really excited about working there.

No no yer good.
I ment for me, as I made an error earlier saying Ogre Battle was made by Atlus, when all they did was publish it. Why I want to know... is if I havent played a game or know much about it, Id like to be able to gauge a game somewhat by who actually produced it. Of course if I am ignorant to a game I will not grease it up and try to shove it up someones ass like many other gamestores... Id just envision myself: " I havent played it so I cant say, but the guys who made (random good game) worked on this too. " Just to be able to help inform the customer of what they may be looking at. Or if they are big (whatever:game/company) fans I might be able to quickly come up with a few games that would suit their interests. There are alot of good games that dont get alot of recognition.
I am basically ignorant to most goings on in the industry... I never made the time to keep up. I read the Game Informer so all I generally know is the spoon fed popular stuff. Now I just want to feed my curiosity.
I was actually on Wiki earlier today cross referencing some stuff. Funny.

:Damn wallscroll is crooked!My "man cave". Pic is from my phone, sorry the real camera is broken. Went looking for a vertical case holder and found this 60 slot spine that mounts on the wall. There is my 32" Samsung and games. I have a love seat on the opposite wall and found an X rocker gaming chair for $15 today!
I dont even intend to hook it up but I will test it to see if it works. Im interested to see how it preforms, with a subwoofer in your back. I found it at a thrift store looking for a new dressers and the vertical case holder... I couldnt believe it was so cheap! They had another model without speakers for the same price so I believe they didnt know what they had. Normally these are $60. When you sit in it, it leans back and its perfect posture for chillin' and playin' games. Normally I lay on the bed or lounge on the loveseat but I game for so fucking long, I get uncomfortable. Crook in my neck or sore from being extended on one side from laying out.
Well Vincent posted his living room, pretty impressive collection along with his new big ass TV.

Thanks.
Actually I bought built a castle. I have a moat and everything.

Interesting... more sources for information.
No guys... your all missin' the whole damn point. *sigh*
I know that most of this job will not need any extra information I do not already possess nor need extensive knowledge. I just want to know for knowledge sake. I like being prepared. I realize without knowing firsthand, knowing the difference between a developer and a publisher will be hard. There is no obvious signs of the difference. Im still looking into it though. And keeping a good tab on gaming news isnt necessarily a chore, its an excuse to immerse myself in the field.
If I dont know oh well. But if I do know... Awesome!
I just want to know shit. Im doing this cause I want to, not because I think its necessary.
-
Yeeeep, called it.
-
Alright thanks, Ill check it out too.
-
Well I can understand that then. I like so many things, I practically have something to talk about to anyone.
I just got back from the shop, filled out my paperwork and all, talked to alot of ppl, had a great time! This is fantastic, I already love my job, and I havent even been put on the schedule.
-
Me too. I just hit 260 lbs!!! I gained 30 lbs in 7 months!
Remember when I was going to start working out? Well... just like my joystick, I started then stopped. LOL jobless for so long, gaming and eating filled me out. There isnt much to do, not like in Central Florida.
All excuses.
I am buying a bike, and riding to work every day. I will also start walking on days I dont work, at the very least. Then... once my heart can handle doing extended extraneous activities, I will indeed begin to work out. I have said this before, about a great many things, but DUDE!!! Im FAT! How the FUCK did I let this happen. Before I was just stocky... now I am fat. Not Obese... but Fat. To all you fat guys, no offense. I just like to be able to breathe right when I tie my shoes.
I should take pics so I can see how bad I let myself go. An no one is going to see them until I burn that shit right off. Good thing my skin is stretchy... or Id have sagging skin from hell.

Yes, the used section often surprises me. If Chrono Trigger on the DS or that Metroid Prime Trilogy on the Wii come into the store again, Ill be in a position to nab it quick.
No window shopping for you guys either? Am I the only one who gets excited about STUFF?! I will take this into account... I will try my best not to help anyone feel even more uneasy in my store.
I can honestly say I dont quite get it though, I am so eager to go into GameStop. I often go in just to look... no particular reason, other than just to scope stuff out. I generally go once a week. I look at accessories, used games for DS, 360. Then everything else. Toys & wallets/keychains always get my notice, but I never buy them. I like stuff!

Im going to send him some Bat Gear... Whats your size Inky?

Congrats on the job, dude!
there are two gamestops within half a mile of each other here and the differences between store cleanliness, staff knowledge and friendliness is night and day. It's like one is staffed only by people who play Halo and Call of Duty and the other is staffed by people who like videogames.
Thanks man! Yea, My store is definitely the latter. Ill fit right in, everyone is real cool and we generally all like all types of games. The boss likes Halo, Im not a fan. It is set up like this, no over specialization.
am I the only person who really hates going into gamestop? not because of all the internet cool kid reasons either. I just feel really uncomfortable and out of place in there. I feel the same about guitar stores.My two main hobbies and I can't stand going into businesses related to them....
I on the other hand love GameStop. I like window shopping and GameStop has plenty of stuff. What makes the experience great is when the employees are laid back and chill. No bullshit sales pitches, just ppl talking about whatever.
I am the only one I know who can spend HOURS at a time at GameStop. For instance I'll look at all the used titles... go back and look at them ALL again to see if I missed something. I never feel out of place, if I am at a bad store like Gryph describes, I feel as if THEY are out of place. Even if I am not going to buy anything, I like looking at stuff. Of course I was the kid who read my Game Magazines over and over.
Sidenote: I dont know if this has anything to do with it... I was grounded from games for a good while, like over a year. I still had my love for games and would read contently about stuff in EGM (before '92). (Gamefan was the first awesome game magazine I can remember, wide pages, awesome content. First print was September of '92). My mom at first thought I was torturing myself, but learned I was content to read about games... I was truly content. Perhaps this "window" shopping element remains. I really really like games. I also really like just looking at anything game related. I fell like the preverbal "kid in a candy store" and I will bring this child like wonder with me to work, as I always do when I step in the store.
I hate buying my games anywhere else. Buying my games at Walmart is a joke... they always have the maximum prices and well... its WalMart. GameStop is not like most anything else. I feel right at home.

Well as I read up on gamin news from all the sites mentioned by my fellow members, Agozer & Akihiro, I need to listen to some music. Ill be here for awhile.
I have not gotten on my playlists, I have practically NO music. Well I figure video game remixes seems fitting, so im back to OC Remix after some time. Problem is there is alot of bullshit, just like regular music. I have to crawl through lists and lists cause now, years and years later, there is ALOT of material... its very daunting.
Getting songs as we speak, downloading as I see fit. I will have quite the collection after a short while. I will list here, at a later time, all the songs I think are worth a damn.

He's Batman.

Well move that movie/anime collection in a separate stack, like a vertical tower.
I desperately need organization. I dont have a viable way to organize my games. There in a vertical stack.
I am the opposite of a neat freak. I clean stuff only when it begins to get out of hand. I need to dust, vacuum and re-organize. So I need to get some type of organization going, itll help out a bit.

I bet those guys are insane...
They probable shit tokens

Well thanks for sites guys, names like Digg and Reddit dont pop off the top of my head so thanks. You should already know I have an Edge card, in which comes a subscription to Game Informer.
I just want to be able to know stuff. Plain and simple. As for the job itself, itll be a cinch, are you kidding?! I was in marketing, sales, retail and customer service (just listed the relevant job experience from 15 years here), I love Video Games and Im Will.

Ok.
When you beat the game, it asks if you want to save. When saved, all it does is update the collection info, Ex. enemy profile, apparently raises the lvl cap from 100, And unlocks post game stuff. There is no New Game +. All that happens, is your collection data: Enemies, weapon data, ship data etc carry over, if you so choose... but who would select "no" psaw
The enemies I am fighting are on the very bottom of the enemy list, and their pretty tough compared to any other enemies. Sidenote: this dungeon I'm in has ALOT of different enemies. It accounts to your observation that most dungeons have only a handful of different monsters. One could get even more XP than I am if they were to stack a ton of XP up gear via item creation... assuming there is no cap that is. I do not know if there is a cap on it. But this is unnecessary, XP is abundant post game.
I do know, that there is a cap of 4 hit chance ups. Any more doesnt count, as each subsequent hit does half as much damage as the hit before. So with extra hits, you do just short of 200% damage, provided no crits occur. remember this.
One say there is a cap on crit chance. He says the crit skill at lvl 10, +1 crit up chance on an item is the cap.
There is a particular enemy post game that can net you in INSANE amounts of Fol and XP. I once made over 45,000,000 in one battle. The cap on Fol is 99,000,000. I spent it all lol.

Well that sucks. When I worked 7-11 3rd shift. It was easy enough for me but my sleeping schedule sucked ass. I never wanted to get home and sleep so Id game till afternoon, then crash. Waking up, no matter how much sleep I got was a chore.
Well how long have you had this schedule?

Old school Bionic Commando was the shit. You speak nonsense.
What Movie Did you Just Watch?
in Gossip Café [/offtopic]
Posted
I watched Iron Man 2 the other day. Lets just say I went to have a cigarette and just said, "text me if I miss something good"
Fuck that movie! I can go on and on but I wont. Ill just say it was filled with shit and ended with shit. It WAS cool at parts, but those parts added up to about 10 minutes of cool.
Oh yea, a while back I bought the complete 7 seasons of both STTNG and Voyager. Watched them all in sequence, back to back to back. Just as I thought I had long ago seen every episode of STTNG. Finding episodes here and there of Voyager that I havnt seen was pretty cool. They need a new Star Trek. I already have an outline for a concept I think would be fucking awesome. Perhaps I should write it up and try to pitch it! Yea... like I ever complete any good idea I have.
