Sonja, freaking hands down Sonja.

I'd love to see through her fog of war.

Days of Ruin, g'duh!

Uh... 2 whole redundant copies... two of the widescreen trilogy sets, plus 1, 2, and 3 on DVD, times 2.

I pick up this game in 12 minutes, because I get off work. A shirt and a faceplate would be an awesome addition. And the definition of rapture... just gets me hot and bothered right now.

Skatastrophe, I definitely know what you mean.

It's impossible when a mother goes, "He enjoys fun things. But I like penguins. How much fun is Happy Feet?"

What do I say to a question like that? Uh... does your son or daughter enjoy mini-games?

"No, they like full, regular games. How small is this game for the 50 bucks I pay for it?"

So many of the people that walk in don't get the concept, and they don't get that being surrounded by video games 24/7 to serve people, only to go home and play the hobby that you actually enjoy, which is still keeping up on the information that you might have to use at work, definitely takes a toll on you.

I don't envy people who work there. I used to as well. I don't work 8 hours a day to have some little kid tell me how awesome he is at this or that or why, clearly, because he got all of his achievements unlocked at Transformers: The Game, he's the best game player ever.

I've had countless people tell me "Well, you're giving me biased advice, right? Trying to make a sale?"

And it's just like, "Look. Lady. I'm no manager, I get the same shit-fifty an hour talking to you whether or not you buy NCAA Football '07 for your kid. Better yet, ask the kid what games he wants to play. Or better yet, use google, the amount of resources open to responsible parents just might astound you."

I always, ALWAYS, go to a Game Crazy before I step foot inside of an E.B. or a Game Stop. When I walk in to Game Stop, easily 90% of the time I end up with a staff member who is a) currently playing the Guitar Hero demo stand, b) currently telling someone else how great madden is, c) saying hello, and asking me to preorder XYZ game, or d) trying to tell me how great madden is.

The Game Crazy's I've been to have had decent service, or they've quite simply not served me at all. That's a blessing! A simple, "Need help finding anything?" and a nice "Nope. I'll find my way around." is great. I don't get that at a gamestop or e.b.

Leave me alone, if I want the game, you'll know. Because I'll call it by name. Not the dude in front of you that says, "You know the one with fire where you're shooting and there's like army dudes but not quite army dudes because they're evil? That shit is tight, you guys have a copy?"

Tight, indeed.

Comments 1 and 7, about the druid and the one about waiting after hitting diablo with poison dagger definitely made me laugh way too hard at work.

Shit, if this movie is half as good as Doom, you can sign me up to buy tickets for me and all my friends.

Especially is Karl Urban is in it.

So really, I think I just learned what constitutes a good movie for me. And that's Karl Urban.
