Unless it's branded Madden, Halo, CoD, God of War, etc. They don't know wtf you're talking about.

I must have lucked up because my local GS is nothing like that (I even got a free art book to go with my copy of Atelier Meruru!) although I have experienced that at other GS stores so I understand where you're coming from. Do all the GS stores in your area suck?

The GS the next town over used to be great and I ended up becoming friends with a lot of the dudes that worked there (Matt included). But, I rarely go there anymore, since most of the guys I know that did work there have moved on. The one by my house is a hole in the wall little shop with barely enough room for people to walk around and the selection is usually pretty terrible. I got tired of going there because I was constantly getting bothered about pre-orders/subs. There are 2 more nearby, but I've never been in the one and the other one is a decent size store, but again I've rarely found anything worth driving there for.

I'm pretty much over GS. Especially when you go there to buy a New game and it's been cracked open and gutted. The last straw for me was buying a new copy of Knights in the Nightmare and realizing when I got home that the manual was missing. If it had been sealed, that wouldn't have been an issue at all.

The Gamestop in my local area is staffed by morons. I ask about stuff in stock and they say they don't have any, WITHOUT EVEN CHECKING. Freakin' morons.

...

I found this game yesterday. It cost me about $2.50. I wasn't planning on buying it... even the seller thought it was something else...

Edit: DO NOT GOOGLE ANY INFORMATION FOR THIS GAME IT HAS LOTS OF STUFF YOU SHOULDN'T BE SEEING ESPECIALLY YOU HTIMREIMER

I also traded for a couple of PC games: El Matador (DEA agent goes hunting for drug lords) and Hellforces (crazy scientist creates a power source that runs on human souls - demons then enter the bodies and stuff.)

Just picked-up (3) 3DS games -

1).  Ocarina of Time 3D (C.I.B.),
2).  Blazblue Continuum Shift II (C.I.B.), and (thanks to my curiosity being piqued by the talk on this site)...
3).  The Oregon Trail ("Gamestop-New").
 8)

1).  Ocarina of Time 3D (C.I.B.),
If you have not played Ocarina of Time before, prepare yourself for an awesome game!

I was road tripping for work today so I stopped by a couple of game stores.

Kabuki Quantum Fighter NES $3
King's Knight NES $3
Quick Shot NES joystick Boxed $5
Army Men: Air Combat N64 $5
Jet Grind Radio DC $5

Nothing too special, but it was decent prices.

I have not played it before, and I'm *definitely* looking forward to playing it on the XL's (90% bigger) screens!

Not only that -but- I've been hearing & reading that if you're gonna' be playing it for the 1st time...that *This* is the version to play...

Would you agree w/ that?

I'm not sure. I played the game to death on the N64 and loved every minute of it. I also have it on my 3DS and thought it was great. I think the main reason they are saying it's "the" version to play has more to do with the update graphics than anything.

So...basically everything's the exact same - just prettier?

Also, how well/poorly is the 3D used in the game?

Well they added the Master Quest version of the game as a bonus. But they took out the Stone of Agony, because the rumble feature isn't available and put in a replacement item that is supposed to do the same idea. As far as I could tell the dungeon layouts and everything are the same and the quests, etc are the same which I like. Basically the 3DS version, as far as I can tell, is just a graphically overhauled update of the original. Of course, that's what I like about it, because they didn't dick around with the layouts/gameplay. Of course, they did make it so you can aim your slingshot/bow/hookshot and 1st Person view by moving the 3DS around (but I still just normal aim, cause I'm not a fan of gyro controls).

As for the 3D, it is very well done. I can play that game in 3D for hours on end and rarely switch it off.

I have not played the 3DS one, but if I had spent the hours I played on OoT on other games... I would not have a backlog :)
