Wait...was that a Canadian five dollar bill I noticed?


Anyway, I've actually seen quite a few of these in my time browsing the local EB games, which is both humorous, and slightly scary.
Graham and Paul are from Vancouver. They are Canadian eh?

I had a good cackle to myself once I clapped eyes on "Those Two Guys" :p well done!!

And your portrayal of parents is bleeding edge accurate- particularly the aggressive asshat pricks that feel that they have every right to take their shit life out on you.

Ahem... sorry... been having a long week at work :p

I'll be keeping my eye open for this strip in future!

See how many of these folks you recognize.
Well played!

As someone who used to work at a GameStop, I know all of those. Except... well, us.

I actually had to check that you didn't live IN Victoria, because there are local employees who would have seen us embarrassingly purchasing Eternal Sonata. Nice touch with the Canadian money, too.
Why thank you, kindly.

I actually wasn't sure if you guys would even see this. Glad that you did.
No, I'm not in Victoria (all the way over in New York actually), but I could pretty much imagine the pain on your faces while buying Eternal Sonata... Every time someone buys it I always chuckle a bit under my breath as I ring them up. I can't help but think of scenic Tenuto and it's gravity defying flower petals.

The errand running girlfriend looks like an androgynous man with a lisp and a Hispanic accent.
Go figure...

And for those of you who enjoyed seeing Graham and Paul done up this way you may also enjoy (or remember) this...

If you show the box, you aught to have the game, unless its a "coming soon" kind of deal. Otherwise you're just being evil. (I once couldn't get a used copy of God of War 2 because of this crap.)
It's a SHELF holder, not a garuntee of copy. The copy boxes are UNDERNEATH the box, or stored behind the desk.

And all of these stereotypes are 100% accurate. Though the ESRB believer and the hopeless virign seem like the least annoying customers.
Yeah, but those evil bastards wouldn't even let me buy the box. I told them "well, if this box is the only merchandise you have, I'll take the box. I won't have the game, but I'll have the box. That way people can visit me and think that I own the game, when really I don't. See, I like tricking people for no good reason." I even offered five bucks for it. No dice. Unfortunately most game store employees know just about five sentences in total, and half of them are about online surveys.

Also this all happened years after God of War 2 came out. They had no good reason not to have a copy of it in the store.

One good reason would be that a shitload of people bought it from that particular store? just a hunch though xD

[OT] Anyway, I'm probably "Obviously stolen" trade-in guy. Most of the time I buy mildly controllers and other things from people and fix them up :D
