Why did they write ad copy that sounds like those weird mobile games, and also fake a mobile game interface maybe that style is actually effective. or it's cynically ironic advertising, as your head scratching has just further spread the ad. but yeah, lol.

Man that ad doesn't know what it wants to be. I saved myself some hassle and watched the final cinematics for Gotham Knights, it's the exact same sort of twist reveal anyone with any knowledge of the Court of Owls could have sussed out. Same level of ~what a twist~ that the Arkham Knight was. "Oh the Arkham Knight has intimate knowledge of the suits weaknesses WHOMST EVER COULDST THOU BE?!!?!!?"

Much like how the Riddler literally can't commit crimes without leaving clues behind to solve, the Arkham Knight devs tried really hard to make an original character do not steal but were compelled to do the most obvious thing possible.

Gotham knights’ biggest twist is that it isn’t 4 player co-op. I thought that was the whole point of the game.

Can an entire game just be a shitpost? Trombone Champ seeks to answer that question https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tyr34L56mKk

lol, that Gotham Knights ad. How bizarre - I guess whoever designed that thing is convinced the fake mobile game ad style is the most effective way of communicating something to people. All it needed was the talking guy pretending to have "finally found a new game that isn't like those other fake games" and it would've been a complete recreation.

I did a 5am start for 8 years, getting home at 1:30pm was good but everything else sucked. Well it was quiet for the first few hours too I guess.

I know working conditions are bad in the Land of the Free, but surely those hours are divided between shifts ... ?

I usually wake up at 4:30 AM on weekdays since I like to have a good chunk of free time before starting work at 7. Heck, during the summertime I am a mad enough lad to wake up at 4:30 AM and go for a bike ride at 5 AM.

So at my store, which is not a game store, Black Friday is a regular paid day, but we can choose to come in on Thanksgiving while the store is closed to help fulfill online orders and it's time and half. I usually do it because I'm too far from my family to spend Thanksgiving with them and you can just come in your pajamas and it's a chill time.

If you have to work a holiday in the States you usually get one free pass where you can mess up once and your boss won't break your knees. No rollover passes though so make sure you use it before Jan 1.

i worked a black friday at target one year, then after i got off my shift i drove over to the gamestop across the street to take advantage of the buy 2 get 1 free used game deal they always do, got my 3 games and left. then the next day i decided i shouldnt have spent that money, actually, so i drove back to return them after work that day and while they took the 2 games i paid for back and gave a full refund, they said i could just keep the third game i got for free?? anyway thats how i got final fantasy type 0 hd. thank you gamestop for the free game
