GameStop Says Be An A-Hole Boyfriend, Play Twisted Metal

Posted on Tuesday, January 31 @ 16:39:38 Eastern by

I tend to go to video game stores quite a bit. That's why I've got a Powerup Rewards card to GameStop. A deal is a deal! I'll take one where I can get one.

Still, I think I'll stick to the video games with GameStop. I got the e-mail above today, telling me how to act in my relationship. The subject read "Send her flowers so you can game!" I have a feeling I'll be gaming for quite some time after the flowers:

Thank your lucky stars that when you pre-order Twisted Metal, you'll receive $10 off an order from 1-800-Flowers.com! It's a simple solution to that age-old question: game or girlfriend?

Because a gamer couldn't possibly have both.... The key to being in a relationship? Take time away from your hobby, at least on a few days out of the year. Can you manage to leave Twisted Metal in the shrink-wrap long enough so you can take your girl out to dinner? That's the real question. Apparently GameStop doesn't think so.

    Apparently GameStop also doesn't think there are female gamers. Or we're all lesbians.

    Uh how about she buys herself flowers and pre-orders Twisted Metal for me. They totally marketed this wrong.
