Got Kid Icarus Uprising and Pokemon Heartgold for my 3DS on Friday :)

I had to replace my old Pokemon Gold with HG because I broke the battery bit when trying to replace it :\ the reason I have the DS remake now, Kid Icarus Uprising is also fun but I've spent most my time playing on Gold :D

Got some PS2 games. All loose, all from Gamestop, but I made sure they worked. And I'll get some empty DVD cases and print the artwork inserts. So, I got...

Robotech: Battlecry
Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies
Armored Core 2
Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4
Project Snowblind
Taito Legends
Taito Legends 2
Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain

How much did it all cost?..bout 6 bucks. Because Gamestop ended up pissing me off in the process so I called the district manager. But that one's a long story.

I love me some Tokyo Xtreme Racer. I got the 2nd one for Dreamcast a good while back and thought it was awesome so I decided to try 3. :D

And do I have to. -_- -already typed the story like thrice- K I'll condense it as much as I can.

Basically I went job hunting at this place called the Promenade. Gamestop is in that promenade so I figured I'd go see what they got. And they had alot of REALLY cheap games $5 and under. So I got Taito Legends 2, Auto Modellista, and Pinball Hall Of Fame. AM and PHF did not work, so I had to go back and exchange them. So I found the two games to exchange them with then the joker at the counter charged me for one of them. When they were supposed to be both free exchanges. One actually had a chip in the disc when I got it. Also take note, they're doing buy 2 get 1 free on their preowned games now. I asked the guy "Uh aren't I supposed to get credited back for those two?" and he was like "no this is the free one". I thought "...really...shady. Whatever" So I paid a couple bucks anyway and then went home. Looked at my receipt and then figured out that yes, he DID charge me when he was not supposed to. Granted it was only a couple bucks but the thing is I already had to drive up there and back twice and that is ALOT of gas wasted already. Not only that but I do not tolerate getting jipped regardless of the amount. That and the cashier was acting like a spineless dick to me.

So, I call them up and the same guy is basically refusing to credit me back and saying "Oh you'd have to exchange all 3 games to get a full refund". Yeah, bull fucking shit. Then contact Gamestop through the website and basically saying "Hey, it's buy 2 get 1 free, and all I did was exchange the two games and I had my receipt with me. Sounds like false advertising to me." and eventually got ahold of the district manager. District manager calls me back telling me that no, I should not have been charged, so he called them and chewed their ass apparently, and said to go back up there and get my credit. That's a 3rd trip I had to make. By this time I was about to just say forget it because that's even more gas wasted. But I figured meh I wanna get out of the house anyway.

So here's the good part. I get up there, explain the deal and basically said "aaand if you don't believe me, take it up with your district manager". They're looking in their system and at my receipt for about 10 minutes and finally they realize "Oh, we screwed up". And the girl who was there is looking at the guy I dealt with like he was an idiot (funny cause I had my "You're an idiot" shirt on too) and said "Okay, pick out your free game or have cash?" and I said I'd just get a free game, but I also was planning on buying Armored Core 2 because I had a few dollars in my pocket. So I took both games to her and she looked at the computer and said "Eehh you still get the buy 2 get 1 free thing even now. Go ahead and pick another" So I'm like "oookay" and I pick out another and take it to her. Then I ask "Alrighty, how much do I owe ya" since I was planning on buying Armored Core 2 right? And then she said "Oh all 3 of those are free since we messed up" and since I had a little bit of money on me I said "..alrighty in that case I'll pick out 3 more" and picked my 3, got them for 2 bucks. So I ended up getting like 6 games for only 6 bucks. Cause it cost me about $4 the first time, and then when I got the issue straightened out, I got 4 free games and the next 2 were only 2 bucks. :D

Speaking of luck, me and my brother then went to Bojangles and I had a coupon for a free chicken biscuit. They also threw in a free sausage biscuit to both of us as a "free sample". YAY for free stuff!


Moral of the story, don't make some bullshit excuse to try to jip a guy who's jobless. Every penny counts especially when travelling is involved. Doesn't seem like much but it's about a 30 minute drive going there and back, and I had to do it 3 fucking times. o_o So if I'm going to waste the gas to get there I better get something out of it.

Told you it was a long story.

Dear me, some people eh? But either way you porfited in the end! (Unless you count the petrol money) Though, it's too easy to be tough on people in that industry: For every idiot in the retail/service industry like the one in your story there's usually someone wonderful who will put them for shame.

However, there is one thing I don't quite understand:

What the heck is a chicken or sausage Biscuit. Now, I know the word biscuit refers to something completely different over there (we use the word when referring to cookies) and use you them to describe those doughy...ball things. But what makes it a chicken or sausage biscuit? Are they flavoured?

Robotech Battlecry is awesome. I bought it when I was watching through the original Macross series since it's the closest thing to a proper Macross sim released in the west. Fucking hard though.

Armoured Core 2 is pretty sweet as well. Though I suck at Armoured Core games.

Heheh. I forgot I'm on a UK site. XD You guys refer to them as scones. So for you guys it'd be a Chicken Filet Scone. o_o I guess. And yeah what 'biscuits' are to you are what we call 'cookies' here. Damn English language. Here ya go, this is what I'm talking about: Image

And yeah I love all the Armored Core games. 2's controls seem..different from the rest though so it's going to take some getting used to. I've also never played Robotech Battlecry but a friend of mine who's into anything having to do with giant robots recommended it to me. Looked fun judging from videos as well. Also my copy of it, though used came with the Robotech movie o_O Haven't watched it yet though.
