Why do people seem to think there aren't any Gamestops in the UK? I know of two: One in Birmingham and one in Stockport. I've never made a purchase there, though, because they were charging £50 for new games.

Go play Assassin's Creed II and open up the database thing. Read about historical figures and locations and shit, really. Even the locations in the game are modeled after the real thing. I was running around Venice in AC2 and my girlfriend (who had been to Venice) started pointing out buildings that she saw in real life.

>>111166561 This isn't how GameStop does it. In order to use a credit card, you need to present a photo I.D., and your name has to match the card, or they won't let you complete the purchase. Thats before punching in any "codes". Also, if the card was fake, it wouldn't have worked anywhere else, along with the other cards. Its done by electronic verification, and his other purchases "watch, new clothes" etc. would have failed too.

I have 2 copies, and I don't give a fuck cause I pirate. That's pretty much a free game (that I'd pirate anyway).
Could grab one of those games that are better unpirated though, one of those games that are nice online with others.

You're lucky to get 6 a week, no matter what the fuck you know about video games, and it doesn't matter how competent you are, and how late you stay. Usually you get one or two days a week if you're lucky. The work is sucky and boring and the people I've worked with are all either huge fanboys, or they don't know SHIT about gaming. Also, "XD HAV U HERD DIS NEW MEME?!" I stopped working there after I found a drawing of the LOLWUT pear and a rage face.
