Love the meme. Just to clarify, the Shigeru Miyamoto reality show was made up, but I'm hoping that goes without saying.

excellent episode with great music at the end. Award-worthy for sure.

Quote of the week: http://soundcloud.com/vgo-quotes/vgo-306-qotw

The song at the end is awesome, btw. I hope you guys finish it.

woohoo i am on a roll mDot.

Yeah, the other two need to step it up.

great episode! i do agree with matt, you guys need to play walking dead! it might be that im a little biased since ive read all the comics and watched the show, but following the walking dead game is amazing, i know some people say they like to wait until all the episodes are out, but i feel like that takes out some of the fun, just like waiting for a comic to come out the next month or a show to come out in a week, so you can talk about it with friends.

ive noticed people are way too hard on gamestop employees tho haha. im sure you guys have worked some sort of customer service in your lives, but theyre forced to upsell all the time, they dont give a shit if you do or dont buy the warranty, they just need to do the speel to get their boss off their ass. im sure they also deal with a ton of morons coming into gamestop that dont know shit about games so theyre conditioned to feel like at any person can be THAT customer.

I'm starting to think that John is a bit of masochist with his runs to gamestop every time.  He has PLENTY of other avenues to purchase games, but picks the one that provides the most issues for himself.

If you're looking for gamecube games why not shop online?  Amazon has a good chance to have them, you may not have it in your hands that day, but do you really need that older game same day anyways?
other online areas to get older games too like gamefly, they are mostly known for doing rentals, but they do have services for selling off games as well for cheap.

And if it's for any current games, there are plenty of retail areas like best buys, targets, and hell even wal-marts that can provide you the same products without feeling weird.

The point is, don't do business with gamestop, their shit is shady as it is for what they do with used games.

I think he wants to be accepted in there... but feels judged.

If I want to be spontaneous, and if I think of something during the weekend while I am out and about, Gamestop is always just looking at me as I do weekend shopping. It's RIGHT THERE. I am already going to the grocery store next door or whatever... "Hey, I should pop-in Gamestop and see if they have a selection of Gamecube games still." And, for the record, they did have Gamecube games, maybe 100 to choose from. But NO Luigi's Mansion. They had thousands of PS2 games.

I think he wants to be accepted in there... but feels judged.

I don't want to be accepted. I just want to be left alone. I know what I am doing.

iconic movies for Millennials

John asked of kids these days have their own movies like The Breakfast Club or American Pie to identify with and that will define the era in retrospect.

candidates:
Harold and Kumar go to White Castle
Superbad
The Hangover (mentioned on the show)

there have to be more than this, and I want to figure them out!
