I worked for gamestop for 2 years. Walking into one is..odd for me. The smell. It's the smell. Smells you may not even notice. When a worker is doing their job poorly, I know it. When they're taking too long at the register, I know it. When they lie to a customer about not being able to do something or being able to do something, I know it.
So I'm adapting Romeo and Juliet for modern day. It's called Romez and Julie and Facebook.
Thoughts?
ACT II, SCENE II
INT. Bedroom
Cinematography notes:
Pan around JULIE's room showing various posters of various male hip-hop artists with their shirts off, muscles rippling.
Finally pan to JULIE who is sitting at her desk, surfing her computer. Zoom in as she clicks a bookmark to facebook.
Melodramatic snap-zoom to LOGIN box to watch as Julie enters her email address ("Julie.capulet@fuckmontague.com")
Then snap down to the PASSWORD box. Show 8 asterisks being typed in. Audience can't see but the password is "needsumdick". Show in director's cut blu-ray release.
Show as Julie starts typing "Romez" into the search box. Finds him. Page only says "Romez" and "Romez only shares certain information with everyone. Add him as a friend to view his entire profile."
Julie clicks the add as friend link.
She gets up and starts pacing the room.
Within moments her BlackBerry chimes on her desk. Close-up of BlackBerry showing Facebook icon with new Facebook message pending.
She excitedly goes to her PC.
Cue tragedy music. Melodramatic snap-zoom with 30 degree off-kilter angle on new message that reads "Romez Montague has accepted your friend request."
Julie
Montague? WTF!
Split-screen to reveal Romez at his PC.
ROMEZ
Shit wtf she's a fuckin' Capulet WTF?
Let's see if 'dis bitch be on chat.
Zoom in on the PC monitor as he clicks on her name.
Melodramatic snap-cuts between bedrooms as ROMEZ and JULIE chat with each other in silence.
JULIE
Ah me!
ROMEZ
wtf youz a Capulet?
JULIE
yeh romez why u got2 be a fuckin montague?
ROMEZ

ROMEZ

i want to buy a used copy of Hitman: Blood Money for the 360 just so i can play through it for achievements
i already have it on steam
i also find that i will play a game way more to get the achievements, because they give me tangible goals with the illusion of a reward even though i don't actually care at all about having a high gamerscore
but the act of getting points is rewarding enough to motivate me

I avoid them as much as possible.
I know what you mean. I worked at one on and off for 3-4 years.
The stench of death permeated everything in that wretched place. The foul odors seeping from the back room, the decay that crept forth into us the longer we remained in that place, the way the florescents would leech the energy from those who dared trespassed the unholy ground of that cheap brown carpeting.
I shudder at the memories. I only barely escaped with my soul intact. And sometimes I think I lost bits of me there. Things...missing. I'm just not the same. There's big black spots now. Things broken. Mind shattered. Oh god. Oh gooodddddddddddddddd

I still shudder when I smell a hot plastic smell. It reminds me of the shrinkwrapping.

It's from the finale of Into the Woods. It's a great song from a great, multi-layered play.
Look man I know Celery wants to be black, but...
I don't even know why.
I have it and have never even used it.
I'm excited to also not use it!
Nice, thanks.
Thankfully my local Gamestop is not a pain in the ass to deal with.
I got over it very quick and reserved another game while I reserved sc2
and then bought a used game.
i'm not good, i'm not nice, i'm just right
The ones in my area found various little ways to make me despise shopping there.

god that's so fucked up
the problem is that a game of SID requires more effort than a series of roleplaying sessions
it takes some serious planning and you have to draw up your own sprites and backgrounds, simple as they are, or find them and port them in
it's really really time consuming and i'm not sure the end result is actually worth the time

Trying to ruin Shakespeare and make hundreds of millions of dollars in the process.
Dakota Fanning can play Julie and Usher can play Romez.
I may even win a Sundance award.
wow that is prettty interesting
I would at least try it with the stock assets that it ships with.
YOU'RE SUCH A PARTY POOPER.
I am hating life right now.
hi5
Seems like something Winky would be really awesome at until he got distracted by a squirrel.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
and gamers stank
and also how much older than dakota fanning
No, he's on first
I still shudder when I smell a hot plastic smell. It reminds me of the shrinkwrapping.
the stock assets are okay but they really don't have much flexibility
and they make for some weird stories
abe lincoln giving water to african people, for example
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
Is Usher banging Dakota Fanning? o_O
Hating life hi5
are you seriously one of those people
