Last night Matt and I went into the local Gamestop to buy X-men: Legends for my Playstation2. We'd been hearing that this was a good coop game to play and it had recieved several awards, so our videogame geekiness finally took over and we decided to just buy the game. Hours and hours of entertainment for the both of us for $50? Not too bad.. For $50 we could go to 2 1/2 movies. For $50 we could go shopping for an hour (although it'd be an hour of torture for one of us). For $50 we could rent a hooker for 30 minutes. Weighing these options, we figured it was well worth the money.

We entered the store and Matt found the game on the 'used' aisle, saving us $5 (woohoo!). We walked up to the counter and I handed the game to one of the three employees standing around (lets call him Gerald). Gerald flashed us both a smile and commented, "Awesome game - it got best coop game of the year in *insert some nerdy game magazine here*". Gerald was tall, dark, a little dorky, and pretty nice-looking (though Matt is *much* hotter). He was more of the shy type, but you could tell he really got worked up about video games.

He offered us their $5 promo card which offered 10% of this purchase and any other purchase on a used game for the rest of the year. This equated to only 50 cents extra on this purchase.. "Why don't you think about it while I get the disc from the back?" I pondered this and a few minutes he returned. "Hey guys, this disc has a few scratches on it. It'll work okay but I don't want it to cause problems for you guys. Do you want me to check to see if we have another one in the back? I'd be happy to check for you." He seemed really intent on pleasing us. I looked at Matt and grinned, it was funny to see someone running around like that trying to make us happy. Gerald went to the back storeroom again and returned, "Hey guys, I didn't see another disc in the back, want me to give you a new disc without the scratches?" Hmm.. used scratched disc or new disc? New disc. Matt razzed him a bit, "Yeah man, she's going to buy your discount card, you better give us a new disc!" Gerald smiled, "Oh yeah, well I don't mind at all.."

He took down my name/number/address for the game card while giving us little quips of information about himself as he went along. He just moved into the area, him and his rooommates spent over 8 hours playing the same game the other day (!), tips for getting the coop mode to work in the game. Then he asked, "So, what're you guys up to later this evening?" I glance at Matt.. "Uhmm.. you're looking at it!" We all fake-laughed and we finished our purchase and exited the store.

Me, "Dude, we totally got hit on."
Matt, "Yeah.. I know!"

In further discussion, Matt thought he was probably hitting on *me* more than us.. although I'd say we're a pretty cute couple, who wouldn't hit on us? ;) Bring it on!
