Welcome to store 385 in Plymouth, MA where if you file a sexual harrassment complaint against a male employee, they get promoted to a full time spot in your department and you get treated like crap because the rest of the fuckin perverts want you to quit. Of course it doesnt help when the managers sit on their fat asses all day trying to get laid by their 17 year old employees. Then again you are autamatically assumed to be sleeping with everyone you talk to if you're a pretty girl and the bitches at customer service (with a few exceptions) dont like you. Well FUCK BEST BUY!!!! I am now on my way to looking for another job because this place is giving me a mental breakdown....actually I was informed by a few managers to "look for another job" because I dont want to work with some disgusting pervert that sexually harrassed me. But maybe it's beacause I made the mistake of sleeping with my disgusting, dirty, cheating scumbag of a PPT manager, that they're trying to get rid of me. Thats how it goes here, if they like you and want to get with you, you have a job. Once they've gotten some.....you're out, only they have no reason to fire you, so they make you're life hell. Now on to the rest of the fucking idiots in that place.....how wabout the scumbags in the warehouse....the two kids that were tag teaming the skank from HT. Wow must be nice to score a 17 year old with a kid, who's idiot boyfriend is the senior of comp. Then there's is that dumb spanish speaking bitch that thinks we all want her ugly boyfriend. Get over yourself hunny, and buy some pants to fit your fat ass. Oh yeah and then there's the former drug dealer that just recently got a manager spot, what a fuckin scumbag. I have never met a more stuck up asshole in my life. Then again working for Best Buy, or Hell as i like to call it is like being back in high school, it is one big frigen popularity contest. Get a life people!!! You get no where in life by staying at Best Buy. And if i hear my PPt manager tell one more story about dropping out of college to devote his life to "Hell", I will slap him. 10 years from now when BBY goes down the tubes and Wal Mart takes over these sick people will probably commit some type of mass suicide because they will have nothing left to live for. Well they're all a bunch of FUCKING LOSERS!!! None of the guys in the store are good looking and no one wants to sleep with them. Especially not "guido" (as i like to call him) our Sales manager that looks like a pedophile and shaves his freakin arms!!! You shopuld all grow the fuck up and get real jobs. Oh yeah and as for the sexual harrassment thing....district and openline are both fucking useless!!! So fuck 385 and fuck all you scumbag assholes who work there. And take those fucking fliers that I AM NOT going to hand out and shove 'em.
That Doom 3 is two year old news. Cramak missed the boat, sorry pal. I've already forgotten about this game.
Same goes for Half Life 2. Too much hype, too little actual product.
Seriously.. All the promise of this amazing visual quality, amazing evironments.. I *was* excited to see the next frontier of gaming..
But CryTech beat you to it! FarCry is, IMO, *the* FPS right now. It's got it all.. Amazingly *huge* detailed environments - you see those little islands wayyy out on the water, that look like a background matte? Nope, you can swim to 'em.. And the underwater seascape is as lush and detailed as the landscape.. It has great enemy AI, cool weapons, great sound, and enough plot to make you feel like you're doing something.
Gameplay is fantastic, with elements of stealth and strategy a la Splinter Cell mixed in with fast paced gunplay a la Serious Sam or Painkiller..
Patch 1.2 will support SM3.0 for nVidia fanboys, 1.3 will sport 3Dc texture compression for the ATI crowd.. So we have cutting-edge rendering technology.
Valve, Cramak, you pulled a Netscape. Too much time pontificating and whining, and you got unseated from your place at the top of the heap.
Once upon a time I was thoroughly impressed with Quake and Quake II.... Then Unreal came out, and I forgot all about them.. It's happened again.
If you're the gamer type, and have a boss-ass video card, you owe it to yourself to get FarCry. All the game that Valve and ID are promising tomorrow - today!
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!

Think of all the sticks of deoderant you could buy!
Seriously, Right Guard or Mennen should be doing sponsorships at these lan parties, given the relative levels of personal hygene at LAN parties and the like.

Honestly, some people should be flagged as too stupid to ever get mods again.
As most people know, Texas is known for two things--steers and queers. And you don't sound like no steer.

Yeah I remember how ridiculous it was that he found the warp whistle. Yeah right he found it on his first try.
