  1. Playing Secret of Mana with three people is one of the most fun gaming moments I have, but it usually just depends on the type of game. Games with epic storylines or gameplay are great fun to play with friends, but long RPGs I definitely prefer solo. I'd love to spend nights just taking turns and going through entire games such as Metal Gear Solid, various Zelda games, Shadow of the Colossus and countless others.

  2. LOL, I live in Texas, that's nowhere USA as far as OCR is concerned, all the meetups and cool stuff are held in like VA, or MD, or most of the northern states...there's not a damn thing down here, and not too many members in the vicinity...the closest members that I know who live remotely close to me are bLiNd and Jade! and that's still two states over...

    Yeah, as already stated there are a decent amount of people here from Texas. No idea if they'd be down for a meetup though.

  3. To say that all new games are sold like that is a bit of an exaggeration. Most new games that GS receives are never opened, as even with new releases that employees want to borrow only a few get opened and played compared to the 20-50 copies that come in to be sold. On top of that, I recall my manager being a real Nazi about getting the game being borrowed back exactly as it was. If such wasn't the case we were forced to buy the game. But I totally understand not wanting to buy new games from GS in any case.

  4. It's kinda why I offered the amazon link, but I can't blame you for going for a cheaper alternative. (I remember when new games used to be in between the $35 - $45 range ;_; )

    Not to mention I personally got issues with gamestop as the only game I EVER bought from them "new" was Deadspace. There's something about seeing them take the "display case" I had in my hand and then go under his desk to get the "new" game out of its paper sleeve and then give it to me selling it for about $50 at the time...

    Sounds like you got one of the last copies they had, with the box for being the display box you picked up. A pretty frequent occurrence with games that sell out. I find it amusing that new games are allowed to be borrowed by GS employees (with the notion that they bring 'em back undamaged) and upon their return they are merely repackaged again in new shrinkwrap.
