OMG a Human~!

I pre-ordered the Resident Evil 5 Collector's Edition from Gamestop. I really hate Gamestop, but I'm one of those people that simply won't wait for games to be shipped to me. I want to be able to pick it up THAT DAY. I can't help it. It's just how I am...

So when you pre-order something from Gamestop, you get a phone call reminding you that the game is coming out. I think I wrote a post once before about the dead chick calling me, right? They had a recording who always identified herself as Aeris. You know, the girl in pink that Sephiroth kills in Final Fantasy VII. And if you get all pissy at me for giving you spoilers, tough shit. If you're a gamer, you know about this already. It's one of those "holy shit, omg" moments of video gaming. And if you didn't already know about it, then you probably were never going to play the game anyway, so who cares? Sorry... Tangent. But yeah, it totally creeped me out that a dead chick was calling me.

Eventually, she was replaced by a voice who identified herself as Ashley. Although she doesn't creep me out, I think I hate her just as much. She sounds like one of those really bouncy cheerleaders that you just want to punch. Super happy, annoying, and ohmigod-flipping-the-hair bouncy.

This evening, an ACTUAL EMPLOYEE of the store I pre-ordered from called me. And he was calling me from the store. (Cell phone caller ID FTW...) He said all the same stuff that Ashley normally does: that they're having a midnight launch tomorrow night and that I should bring in games to trade in toward my purchase because I'll get an extra 20% of trade in value. Honestly, I was so stunned that a HUMAN called me that I forgot to give him a hard time. I give all Gamestop employees a hard time...lol. :-) They know me there, so I can. I'm not mean or anything. Just rascally... Anyway, I just said "Okay" a few times and "Thank you." Yeah, that was really weird. A human...
