Zero Originality, A Rather Redundant Exposé. PEOPLE suck at shopping.

Hey guys! I figured this was interesting enough to generate its own bout of discussion.

It's a video in the style of Zero Punctuation, by Ben Croshaw. This fellow can't enunciate nearly as well, but it stands as a nice expose on Gamestop's practices. It's about 90 minutes long, too, so grab some popcorn.

I imagine most of you have seen this by now, but for those who haven't and those who want to discuss their shitty experiences with GameStop, here you are! Blast away!

Zero Originality, Episode 1, Part 1

How ya doing, buddy?

Well, the trade-in shazbah is nothing new, of course, but I never knew anything about the employee side of Gamestop. This is what most interested me.

And I don't really consider Yahtzee to have so much dry humor, per se. His whole style is simply overtly funny. In emulating it, the only thing lost here was enunciation, as I mentioned. It made it annoying, yeah, but the overall style was still good enough to warrant watching, so any of you guys that stopped 5 minutes or 30 seconds in would do well to actually watch the video. It's not all bitching about the trade-in ripoff.

If you watched it all and still hate it, then that's ok, too.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, just remember. You guys may have known about shitty working conditions and all that, but I personally didn't know anything besides getting ripped on trade-ins, and even then it hadn't crossed my mind as so bad a thing, so very little of it was redundant to me...

It's just not obvious because the area in which I live would deem most of the things he talked about inconceivable. It was pretty interesting to watch, in my opinion, and I didn't know half the stuff in the series. I don't particularly see anything wrong with that, either.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I have to say that the GameStops around my area are nice, polite, and generally knowledgable. I haven't been heckled too much about bullshit, either.

The trade-ins are still dumb, though...

So, Rock. Come on to West Virginia and see our wonderful stores OMG!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
