My kids are 2 and 6, they are old enough to get jobs and buy their own stuff anyway, so you get your money back.

LOL. I nominate Brandogg for NWR's #1 Dad of 2012!

Its never too early to begin educating children on the importance of hard work and fiscal responsibility.

Can you hack 360's and PS3's despite the firmware they are on?

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #33 on:** July 18, 2012, 08:09:05 PM »

360 yes, PS3 you will have to use a hardware flasher to downgrade to 3.55 or lower if you're on anything higher than that.

DO you get customers that ask you to hack their machines?

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #35 on:** July 18, 2012, 10:12:17 PM »

Yes, but we don't do it.

Oblivion · « **Reply #36 on:** July 18, 2012, 10:17:58 PM »

Why not? Hacking the machines aren't illegal.

Chozo Ghost · « **Reply #37 on:** July 18, 2012, 10:23:01 PM »

Oblivion, when you worked at Gamestop did people ask you about hacking consoles? What did you tell them?

Oblivion · « **Reply #38 on:** July 18, 2012, 10:25:33 PM »

Not once. Maybe when I wasn't there, but I never encountered someone asking about it.

Actually, I think charging people money for you to hack their system is technically illegal, whereas doing it yourself isn't.

Oblivion · « **Reply #40 on:** July 18, 2012, 11:31:45 PM »

Oh, I see. That's understandable. It's just that a lot of tutorials online seem untrustworthy and I figured someone like Brandogg to be more so.

People would have to be under the false assumption that GameStop employees are knowledgeable folks.

What the **** is wrong with you? I know a lot about video games, even about **** that I don't own. God, I hate that stereotype with a passion!

Chozo Ghost · « **Reply #43 on:** July 19, 2012, 01:17:07 AM »

Maybe that's the reason they terminated your employment? Perhaps you knew a little too much.

Oblivion · « **Reply #44 on:** July 19, 2012, 01:28:25 AM »

Which makes no sense because they ask about your video game knowledge right on the application.

Chozo Ghost · « **Reply #46 on:** July 19, 2012, 10:34:54 AM »

Maybe the reason they don't want knowledgeable employees is because knowledgeable employees might know enough to try and talk a customer out of a purchase.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #47 on:** July 19, 2012, 11:16:26 AM »

It's actually not even illegal to charge someone to hack their system as far as I know, it's just too much bullshit that would come with it because all these punk kids would whine about their pirated games not working, and that's something I'm not prepared to deal with or even very knowledgeable about. Hacking someone's system and showing them how or telling them how to pirate games would be illegal, but this kind of stuff falls into the head shop type category, I believe. They can sell bongs, but you have to say it's for smoking tobacco, and they aren't allowed to tell you where you can buy weed.

Chozo Ghost · « **Reply #48 on:** July 19, 2012, 12:29:56 PM »

Weed is legal in some states now if you have a medical reason for it.

Knowledgeable employees are questioning employees. You don't make management by being knowledgeable, and managers certainly don't want to look stupid in comparison to their underlings. Retail outlets in particular are no place for thought or insight. They hate you if you're clever, yet they despise a fool.

And it's borderline illegal to possess said bong, even if it was legally purchased. The second some limp-dicked cop has a hard-on for you, it gets written up as paraphernalia.
