    You better quote that one in your sig.

    All those years working in retail turned me into a real snarky prick, figured that would help me with the continuous repartee that I see going on around here.


    And Garm, conversation does not just develop, especially when your first response in this thread was crafted to bring attention to yourself by talking about you being a CM for a fansite and linking to it. Just a small little addendum to the end of your attention post acknowledging my intro. Now, since I don't appreciate when my threads get hijacked so get the fuck out of it.

    It's a pity that you responded in such a manner to an individual who showed no hostility towards you.

    Retail eh? How long have you been working in that area, and what kinda business do you work for?

    Gentlemen, diminish the hostilities. Garm's self-centricness aside, what he said was at least interesting.

    Garm, you have self-control. That's good, you might need it.

    Magikot, you're funny. I like it. You two play nice (or not, really doesn't matter to anyone here until you take over the boards with it, then it'll be annoying regardless).

    What hostility? The only one I'm hostile towards is you for the poor impression you've made. If you've read anything on this site you'd notice that sarcasm and a near-venomous wit are required on this forum. I wasn't hostile towards him, just stating my qualifications.


    Video rental store.


    Don't worry, I'll keep it to this thread :p

    I mean, maybe if we made a pit-fight flame thread. I think the problem with our prior attempts is the lack of motivation and topic to flame other people. Typically they devolve into smack-a-noob.

    I think we should debate abortion rights, and by debate, I mean scream at each other, and if we do actually come to a consensus, we should immediately disregard it, call the person who proposed it a fucking pussy, and start a new debate, with a new topic, like gun control, or trade deficits, or how wildly Britney Spear's pussy lips must flap when the wind blows.

    Woah, I just read magikot's edit.

    I really think that you need to cool down, magikot. I stated that I was the community manger of such a site to convey that I especially would know that Dark Elf was correct, and the link was proof.


    Thank you in your attempt to secure peace, Blinky969. Hopefully your effort wont be in vain, but that is really up to magikot.

    Seeing as I am so self-centered, surly you should have realized that the individual I was speaking of was myself.

    The only time I ever see myself in video stores to to buy games. Does the shop have a game section?

    We do have a game section, but it kind of sucks because my boss won't let me charge anyone that scratches a game all to hell and back. After a month none of our games are worth renting anymore because they most likely won't work. The worst is when people return them cracked or their XBox 360s burn rings into the disk and he won't let me charge the people.

    I didn't realize you were talking about yourself because you didn't quote anything I said to you, just my response to wolfsbane so I assumed you were stating I was hostile towards him. My mistake.



    I'll try to calm down, I can sometimes get riled up easily.

    Yeah, that kinda stuff must ruin the business. I remember once when I bought a 2nd hand game from a store, and it didn't work so I brought it back and they gave me a replacement. The fact that they must have purchased the one that didn't work off someone is just... unfair.

    Nah, it wasn't your mistake, I should have been more clarified. Sometimes I am bit cryptic; it is probably do to the fact that I make sure I don't presume people's genders what I refer to them, and hence the use of the term "individual" and indirect reference.

    Looks like you already have! :D

    GarmGarf, if you were as forum-savvy as you claim to be, you would know better than to double-post. Use the mofruggin edit function jackass. And stop trying to slob-knob everybody who is polite to you, it's not becoming.

    I take pride in enriching the vocabularies of others with such gems as 'scrumping' and, 'slob-knob.'

    What happened there was that I posted, and then read a reply which was posted while I was typing.

    Would you truly begrudge me a little understanding?


    Making use of the edit function:

    But I apologize. I'll attempt to keep that annoyance to a minimum.

    Grow a fucking back bone. Honestly. He just cursed you out and insulted you (albeit funny) and you inquire about his life's work? Tell him to fuck off or something. Jesus christ...

    Thank you for the advice.

    I'll consider it in the future.

    Why do you even talk to it? It was supposed to have been perma-banned, right? Just delete its fucking account and be done with it. If it's so composed as it claims, then it should know better than to come back here after having been erased. Then again, it could be an incarnation of HWLFP, in which case it'll return no matter what we do. But we'll just have to keep killing it.

    So, please, kill it.

    Oh, sometimes people don't actually scratch the discs at all. See, Final Fantasy VII got scratched beyond all repair after my idiot cousin had lent it. That's why I rented it, swapped the discs and returned a faulty copy of FFVII to the store. At that point, I kinda realized that game rental must be the worst business in the world.

    I woke up with sand in my vagina and had to follow suit.

    I thought about doing that with a DS game, but I just didn't have it in me.

    Impressively, many people miss it. I happen to lack venomous wit, but I've an extremely thick skull. It does a really good job of sugar-coating reality for me. I don't want to start a PC vs. Console fight, but I'm curious: how many people've a pc, and how many have both? (I'm assuming that nobody hear has just a console, as it's a pc-game forum). I personally own just a pc, but intend to eventually add a console or two.


    please note: I don't care which you prefer, and I don't want to read bitching about which is better. Please leave your fan-boy whorishness to other places. Like elementary schools.
