Damn you, Super Smash Bros. Brawl!!! lol. -- Like my earlier blog about waiting in the cold for a nintendo wii, I did the same thing for super smash bros at midnight. Though, I wasn't waiting in the windy night [because I was in my car] and my brother was (he wanted the game more than I did), I felt very pissy anyway. On friday, my brother went to game crazy and since he's a regualar customer, one of the sales associates volenteered to hold a game for him to assure him that no matter where he was in the customer waiting line, he would get one. You see, my brother wasn't even going to bother to go the midnight launch and just wait a few weeks so they could come back in stock. So my brother was like, "ok cool".
Well, even though they said they would hold him the game, he decided to come early anyway to see the mini tournament they were holding (I waited in the car because I wasn't going to leave a 13 yr old boy at a game store from 9pm- 12am alone). I had this feeling that the sales associate was going to jerk him over so I called him as soon as Game Crazy began to form a line for the game. I asked him if he double checked with the store manager and the sales associate if they were going to still hold the game for him and they played dumb and pretended like they never said anything! I mean, that's just fucked up, right? My boyfriend and I even heard them say it! Why would you say to a little kid that didn't even have intentions to go to this game launch, encourge him to come by saying that they'd hold a gme for him, then the day the launch happens, pretend like you never said anything and blow him off?!
Luckily, My brother weas one of the first 25 people in line for the game, so he got it anyway. It just really pissed me off that they would do something so cruel to little kids like that. Yet, I'm not really suprised at the behavior of grown men who work at a game store for minimum wage and the store is going bankrupt anyway...
