I have a southern accent so i guess you would consider me some slack jaw yokel.
I don't really care, if others choose to judge me on that then fuck em. I don't hear anybody complaining about the ebonics of black people. Heres a example

Quick call a ambulance.
Did you axed me a question ?

We should be getting back on topic.

Recently, I supported Gamestop by buying the 3D Classics Kid Icarus... and only a couple weeks later it switched from GS exclusive to a normal downloadable title >_>

Is that a 3DS XL in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me? ~ZeroAX

That's why I'm never swayed by retailer-exlusive download items. Eventually, they become public.

It was free on Amazon with Kid Icarus Uprising... not exactly exclusive...

I've always played San Andreas on my PC, but since my motherboard is fried, I figured I try out my "new" copy of GTASA for the PS2 that I bought a year or so from GameStop.

No manual, and the game didn't match the box. Luckily I'm on a first name basis with most of the clerks, but I know unless one of the guys who work there today, I'm not getting refunded squat.

And $20 for an eight year old game? Yikes.

I picked up about 15 CIB PS2 games for under $30 this week. I was also given a 2nd copy of the KOF13 soundtrack for some reason haha. The guys at my local GS are super super nice, and really enjoy talking games with me.

You got lucky noise. Around here all the PS2 games are either in sleeves or generic cases. And scratched to hell of course. The clerks are unfriendly and don't want to to talk about anything except Edge card memberships and reserving the next CoD/Halo/Madden.

I've been going to Best Buy. :?
