Report: Average gamer is 35, fat and depressed

[Ed Anger]

I cringe when I walk into a GameStop store nowadays.

I used to do that too at the local EB Games, but the new girl they have managing the place is super hot.

I went into one in a strip mall about 3 months ago, and the 2 clerks was play playing with their lightsabres. And didn't stop while I laughed at them.

Anyways, games suck nowadays.

The service economy has allowed everyone to be themselves.  When you have a shitty job at a game store, you don't need to be able to associate with regular people.

The last time I went into an EB Games the clerk was a pizza face who kept trying to give me hardware 'advice' even though I tried repeatedly to make it clear to him I know what the fuck I'm doing in that regard.

I try not to make eye contact with the clerks.

Thanks, this is good advice.  Oh, he also kept telling me that Age of Conan was "TOTALLY OSSUM" and was going to kill WoW.

Now of course, if the clerk is 19, female, cute and has a nice rack personality, then by all means, make eye contact.

The EB Games around here are like 50% female in terms of staff, but they tend to feature skinny girls that are a bit lacking in the rack department.

Skinny girls need love too.

You can be a nice bro & buy her some implants then.

I agree. so do bodacious ones. they all need our depressed man love.

I found an EB near me, but Hairy Tarantula is down the street. I figure Hairy T is a better place for vintage games, especially as EB is now pretty much console driven. nothing to see there really. There's also a little vintage games store on Spadina near Bloor, A&C Games, that's good.

EB near me has a skinny no-rack nerdgirl clerk and is 100% console.
