Oh god.. I had to watch this video when I worked at a movie theater as a teenager. They didn't want to make their own training video, so we had to watch this masterpiece....

Burn in hell, Famous Players....

LOL. They actually made you watch a training video from a video game store to work in a theater? That doesn't even make sense. I remember watching one of these for my first job at Hardees, it was so stupid that I stole the tape to show my friends and laugh at how stupid it was.

I worked at GameCrazy from 2007 throughout most of 2008 and it was an exciting time. I personally ran a store during GTAIV and Brawl, Mario Kart Wii releases.

It was nuts.

And then one of my co-workers forgot to log out as me and "I" rang myself up and got in big trouble and things went down hill from there.

I really enjoyed it too looking back on it. We had a great community going, even if it was very small. I wish it still existed in some form, but I understand that it doesn't.

Had Hollywood Video not been complete idiots and bought Movie Gallery when they had an $80 million debt this training video might actually still be used for payed employees.
Currently Playing- Wii: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, 3DS: Super Mario 3D Land, X360: Deus Ex HR

I stopped watching like about halfway into the video. So yeah, that was way too ridiculously cheesy for me to even continue.

Great video, or greatest video?

That was well worth the 12 minutes. Although I can see how those tactics might work on the weak minded.

I just use my Jedi mind powers when I go to Gamestop to let them no, "This isn't the game trader iner that we're looking for."

what the...
what did I just watch? o_O

ok now I'm officially fan of Zelda Scott..... DAWG!!!

edit:
so the guy says he would recommend a PS2 because it can play DVD (granted), it can have 4 players (wait what?) and it has the best on-line (mh, no the hugebox did)..... oh well that just makes the video even more hilarious :lol:

Miss Scott using all that street-slang in the most school-teacherly fashion is really amusing. Props to her for giving it a try!
