    Default Ep 228 QotW - Share your gaming retail experiences.

    What are some of your experiences, good or bad, in retail gaming stores. Why were they good? Why were the bad visits so and what can be done to change that experience?


    NOTE: QotW emails and voicemails are almost always read or played on the air. Board posts are sometimes mentioned but usually not read. If you want your voice heard on the cast, send us a voicemail or an email.

    A couple of additional things to point out for this episode.

    1) We are recording on Friday. That give you the extra day we stole from you for releasing late.

    2) Travis will be replaced by Glenn

    3) This is not Gamestop horror stories... although that is what it is based on.
    This is game store stories.
    Good or bad
    Customer or employee.

    So bring them on.
    Not sure about Glenn, but I know that Geoff and I were once in Video game retail and I'm sure we have some stories to tell about customers too.

    Get those emails in!

    I've had plenty of retail stories. Some funny some frustrating.

    I remember several mothers who didn't know what they were buying.

    Son: *points mom to my location*
    Mom: Oh excuse me. What's the difference between this controller and this one?
    Me: Oh that one is first party, and the other one is third party.
    Mom: Oh I just want another one so that both my boys can play together. I need second party.
    Son: *laughs his ass off*

    Mom: Hi I'm here to buy *pulls out a shopping list* Call of Duty 6.
    Me: Here it is ma'am. *pulls out Modern Warfare 2*
    Mom: Oh but there's no 6 on there. Are you sure?
    Me: Yes this is the 6th title. There was Call of Duty 1 through 3. Modern Warfare was part 4. World at War was part 5. and Modern Warfare 2 was part 6.
    Mom: *hesitates*
    *pulls out phone*
    *calls son*
    *has conversation*
    *hangs up*
    Ok I'll take the game.

    [Set after the Disc release of the GTA4 DLC]
    Mom: Excuse me. I'm looking for the newest Grand Theft Auto. It's called Episodes from Liberty City. I'm wanting it for the PS2.
