Jon: i have a metal gear acid 2 "limited edition" cell artwork

Jon: i dont know if you want it
Rob: yeah
Rob: sure
Rob: why do you have it?
Jon: i got the artwork because i got mad at a gamestop employee
Rob: what?
Jon: yeah.
Rob: what happened?
Jon: like i got to gamestop 10 mins before they closed to pick up a game that was impossible to find but that one day someone had traded it in
Jon: and given 10 mins i thought i was fine
Jon: but as soon as i got there, they closed their regiesters
Jon: I was like can i go in and buy something
Jon: and they were like "no you can't bro, we closed our registers"
Jon: and I'm like you guys arent even supposed to be closed yet
Rob: yeah, gamestop and eb are all about zeroing out the registers early
Jon: and then I got into mom mode and said, "let me speak to your manager"
Rob: omg
Jon: and the guy was like hes gonna be in a minute, just wait a few mins
Jon: so i did, and when the manager arrived, i just said my story and he was like, "oh yeah, we just DISCOVERED a way to ring you up after the registers have been closed."
Jon: i was thinkin yeah bullshit, just lemme buy my game
Rob: that's awesome
Jon: so i guess he felt bad and gave me all that free shit.
Rob: he's a scientist
