actually I called the 800 number and they found the missing 9bux and told me the district manager would tell the store to give it to me. so, fingers crossed and all that.

i also let them know the store manager is a fat piece of poo poo that is always a dick to me. i returned a copy of Bloodborne (because I bought it, then got it as a birthday present) and he actually said "we don't do returns on new items" even though it was still sealed :wtf:

Is there a thread for rhythm games? Stuff like Osu!, Stepmania, etc.

game stop is so weird, because their entire business model seems to be "We don't actually need your business." the few times I have called them to see if they have stuff (Wii U pro controllers, some old games, yadda yadda), they're always like "Uhhh, obviously not?" and then I just order it online, because the only reason to deal with them would be to get something within walking distance if I want it day of.

GameStop is dying and is just trying to squeeze what money they can before they go the way of the dodo, good customer service requires money

Thank you fellow posters. This year I've had to deal with the hardest thing that's ever happened to me and video games (among other things) have definitely helped me stay sane.

The Gamestop near me has the best selection of Nintendo games and accessories I've ever seen, but every other Gamestop I've been to is terrible.

I've been to gamestop exactly twice and that was to pick up used games for a ps2 i bought off a coworker for $20

my gamestop often has hard to find 3/DS games cheaper than eBay or Amazon so that's why we go there, also it's extremely close to our apt

there is an "indie" game store but it smells of rancid sweat and is always full of kids playing Magic and they overprice everything

hardly anyone will buy any new plastic instrument games for the new consoles because they're pot committed to tracks they bought on the old ones, which they can't convert because licensing. so stupid

Totally, it's floating around somewhere on GBAtemp, should be the first link that pops up when you do a google search for it. It's super rough, but it will actually let you understand what people are saying which is very important for all the sidequests.

the best thing about guitar games coming back is that it means really awkward and terrible fake-guitar performances on stage at E3 this year, and maybe a really lame 90s rock cameo

As soon as Rock Band Green Day came out I knew the plastic guitar game craze was reaching its decline. Now it will die an unfortunately slow death.

Unfortunately this is not true as for most Games posters there is only really really really good or really really really bad with no inbetween. That said I say make a rhythm games thread they're fun.

Peter Dinklage in an angry birds movie. The birds also look weird as poo poo with the legs and everything. Like bizarro muppets or something.

That one guy almost looks like totoro.

More likely it would be like system of a down or powerman or something.

following the angry birds theme, i think there should be a thread about birds in games, comparing their AI and textures and stuff to see which one is the best.
