I alos had a good time joking with the Gamestop employees. Here is the approx dialog:
09/01/09
Me: "Did IL-2 arrive today?"
GS: "whats that?"
Me: "a game...."
GS: "what system?"
Me: "all of them!"
GS: "let me check..."
Me: "Thanks..."
GS: "it should arrive tomorrow. What is this, a flight game?"
Me: "NOPE! the spitfire on the cover is just to trick you. It's really a redesigned version of Purbble Palace..."
GS: "..."
Me: "I'm just kidding man."
GS: "So is it a flight sim or an arcade game?"
Me: "Both. Actually there are three settings, arcade, realistic, and sim."
GS: "are you joking again?"
Me: "No..."
GS: "...well thats pretty cool"
Me: "isn't it?"
GS: "I loved Ace Combat!"
Me: "...I'll call back tomorrow, thank you."
GS: "...have a good day sir"
09/02/09 (standing at the counter this time!)
Me: "Has IL-2 arrived yet?"
GS: "Whats that?"
ME:
I walk over to a small display case and pick up a pre-order box. "a G..A..M..E.."
GS: "let me check....." (He looks around the counter, and then checks the back. He returns from the back and grabs a box cutter. I'm getting excited! He returns and says
"Not today man, it should be here tomorrow"
Me:
"Thank you..."
GS: as I turn to leave he says " It says it ships today, Texas or California might get it by tonight. Just check back tomorrow."
Me: " Thanks again..."
Ironicly as I am typing this, I just got my confirmation call from GS.
