The only store in this town that actually has a decent library of games. The only store in town that had Fire Emblem Awakening.
I'd have just gotten the digital copy :P
But that's fair. Though I rarely buy games at a Department store or Gamestop. I'll go to some self owned places, but usually I just order everything online. :D

But all in all, that is very strange. Maybe they were trying to tell YOU something? XD
Free Deodorant either way!

Did you took a shower before going out to buy games? ...that seems like a indirect message from the store :P

(they want to send you to space cause there's no atmosphere there ...so the gases will also dissipate ..meaning, no odors)

Showered last night before bed. Iono, I get the feeling that they put it in there by mistake.

From a Google search they are have been doing a promo for quite some time involving handing out Axe samples to gamers. Gets gamers to become more hygienic, as well as advertise Axe.

People still go to EB Games?

Yep it's a great place to get games. Hell of a lot more stock than any other store and the same price as everyone else (or cheaper slightly if you go used).
People still have a biased and pointless grudge against EB games/Gamestop for no particular reason other than that other people hype up the hate more than the chain genuinely deserves?

gg you're ignorant.

I've never gotten anything I didn't expect to get.
I have gone to Target and this really cute cashier was flirting me and ended up giving me a massive discount on some of my Pokemon decks I was buying. I didn't even notice he did it until I got home several hours later when I looked at the receipt.
I guess that was strange because according to the receipt I bought like 8 packs of cards and 3 decks, when I really bought 5 packs.

    That must be rough. Productive I'm sure but hard to balance with daily life

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.
