Reliable Source: I Sometimes Shoplift From GameStop

[ultrachicken]

So satan has nothing better to do now than make video-games?

 

[thepopeofatheism]

Screw video games, apparently Escapist articles are leading youth down the wrong path... haha

 

[Galad]

don't they have .. cameras or something .. in gamestop?

 

[Normalgamer]

You should be suspended for stealing games, it's not right.

Wow dude.../facepalm.

OT: Great article! Gil must have been extremely surprised ;0).

I share Marion's enjoyment of watching children convince their parents to buy M-rated titles through strategies that span from pleading and guilt to outright lies. This pleasure is effectively doubled by the fact that, as an employee, I am the jagged rocks their young and bright-eyed dreams will be dashed upon. Nothing breaks up the monotony of days filled with kids trading in boxes of GBA games with the labels removed or people thinking we are a tech support hotline than single-handedly denying Gears of War 2 to 13-year-old ritalin junkie. What's best about this experience is, as a young 20-something, these kids initially look to me as friend and ally, assuming that, like some benevolent Big Brother, I will take their side in the debate. As I list reasons both true and fictional as to why their child should never be allowed to play this - nor any - mature game, I must consciously remember not to smile as the look of shock and confusion on their grubby little faces slowly gives away to that vacant stare of deep and weighted finality. It is defeat they are experiencing, pure and unadulterated; born heavy upon their shoulders to forever more drag the stars down from the heavens in their eyes to be trodden into the mud by the uncaring swine of the world.

Good life training and I am glad to be a part of it.

Marion, I want to punch you in the face with a rainbow.

Is that good or bad?

OT: Entertaining read, what can't cargo pants do.

 

[Quiet Stranger]

Soooooo does he actually steal from Gamestop? Cause I'm pretty sure that's impossible, considering they keep all their CDs behind the counter

 

[Jangles]

Haha, truly a very interesting read.

Umm... I know a good defense attorney..

 

[Flight]

A funny and interesting read, especially considering that I used to work at GameStop - and yes, we kept all our games behind the counter while keeping a display box on the shelf. Hilarity sometimes ensued.

seems to me this article is a cry for help, because I can not begin to understand why she would steal MadWorld if she doesn't even have a Wii

[TheyTookOurJobs]

Did you just admit to stealing? You fucking prick.

 

[mattttherman3]

I'm not mean, I just hate most children instinctively.
