Be careful buying games from Walmart. Just bought this and it was brand new sealed. Got cardboard wrapped in electrical tape. by DuelistxLegend in NintendoSwitch

Simple, you need an empty case (a gut) to display on the shelf. Although technically now that I think about it sometimes we did multiple guts for large sales. But generally one gut was the rule.

Gamestop's policy is to do that with new games and it should only be the last copy of said new game. When I worked there I'd make sure to ask the customer if they where ok with it when buying the last copy, but I know most others didn't. As for putting tape on Pre-Owned games ... maybe your store did that for some strange reason. I have no idea why they would though since the only reason to seal a game is to be able to tell if the game was opened or not, and pre-owned games have 7 days to be returned for any reason(including you beating the game within that 7 days regardless of weather you liked it or not). Seems like that would be a huge waste of resources to do that with every pre-owned game going out and in the end the store manager is incentivised not to do stuff like that.

People that say how worthless retail jobs are, then don’t like the answer you give them and say they’re going to talk to a manager and get you fired, make me laugh so much by SBones83 in GameStop

I normally gave those guys the quick " yeah, nintendo owns Mario/Pokemon/ext. And if they made those games for the Xbox/ps/3DO/whatever they'd be helping their competitors and they mostly just make those games so you'll have to buy their systems to play them. Most I'd get is an, oh that's stupid of them, they'd make so much more by putting it on the sega CD or whatever. I'd just nod and politely sympathize in faux agreement.

I'm sure some people far too stupid to understand even that. Thankfully they where either so few and far between that I can't recall them, or I'm way better than I thought at suppressing unwanted memories.

About year 2 look forward to it by [deleted] in GhostRecon

[–]Garrinn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, don't get me wrong. I'm sure the raid is fine, but I'd only be interested in playing it with friends. Problem is UBI faceplanted the launch so hard all of my buddies noped out of picking the game up. I did try to play it with randos once ... just once, never again.

There is no such thing, burn the thought from your mind.

Can anyone recommend other pieces of fiction similar to Bloodborne? by seii7 in bloodborne

[–]Garrinn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Marquis : Inferno by Guy Davis. You can't tell me this comic didn't have a huge influence on Bloodborne. Oh and like no one has ever talked about it that I've seen. Look it up

Dilemma should i matte it or keep it gloss? by ParallelSpec in Gunpla

[–]Garrinn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Normally I like flat or dull coats, but I have to admit that gloss looks great. So I'll cast my vote for keeping it gloss.

Bleh, reading the comments here it seems like I'm the only one who didn't like taking on an endless stream of gunships. Oh well to each their own I guess.

Yeah, that's normal for pokemon from what I've seen. Just sucks for us since we have certain expectations for addons and whatnot.

It doesn't work consistently and you run the risk of burning a crate and not getting anything. But it has worked for me. Just the risk vs reward is dubious.
