This Gamestop employee made me laugh

You know, to a Russian it seems kind of weird to hear IL-2 pronounced like in I'll-2. In Russian it sounds like Eel-2. )

Right, that's because the plane was designed by Ilyushin... correct? It can't be pronounced I'll-e-ooshun... it must be eel-e-ooshun. Like my phoenetics? LOL.

I think people pronounce it I'll due to the two letter abbreviation.

I think this is the most confusing post I've ever made, but it makes sense to me. Either way, the board will crash shortly due to an excessive amount of

Irrelevant, it does make perfect sense, it is exactly like you are saying.
haitch40, no, it's not the accent, see irrelevant's post above.

I plan to buy one when I get the game. I just moved apartments a week ago and now I'm having an epic dogfight with AT&T to have my internet service activated.

Looks like I'll be heading to Game Stop tomorrow, as well.

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.
