| Another GameStop First: The Fallout 3
Collector's Edition |
| April 11, 2008 at 5:39pm |
Be the first non-mutant on your block
to reserve
a copy of the Fallout 3 Collector's Edition.
We like being first. It feels so… in front of everyone else. And we especially like being first when it comes to
giving you the chance to reserve exclusive editions of the hottest
titles. We are the first place you'll be able to reserve the Fallout
3 Collector's Edition. According to our exhaustive research,
GameStop is not only the first place in the world to bring you
details of the Fallout 3 Collector's Edition, but as far as we know,
we're the first in the entire universe. However, we can't rule
out the possibility of an alternate universe in which the Fallout 3
Collector's Editions already come free in every specially-marked box of Fruity
Pebbles.
The latest installment of the Fallout series, set in a post-apocalyptic
world, is scheduled to ship October 7. When we say,
"post-apocalyptic," we don't mean a world devastated by the release
of Mel Gibson's Apocalypto, but we mean that familiar world of Fallout, where World War III left some living in fallout
shelters, known as vaults, and others roaming the outside wasteland,
full of radiation, mutants and other nasty dangers.
The Fallout 3 Collector's Edition
will come with your very own Vault Boy bobblehead, a 100-page
hardcover The Art of Fallout 3 book and a The Making of Fallout 3 DVD,
all packaged in a customized metal Vault-Tec lunch box. If you had
to live in a post-apocalyptic world without a Vault Boy bobblehead
and a Vault-Tec lunch box, could you really call that living?
Pre-order your Fallout 3 Collector's Edition for Xbox 360,
PS3 or
PC today to
make sure you're prepared to face the futuristic wasteland with your
lunch box. |

The pen is mightier than the game
controller.
Many of you have already taken advantage of
the improved customer review and discussion forum options of our web
site, but if you haven't yet, we'd like to invite you to share your
insights with the rest of the world.
Players just like you need to know about your gaming experiences
when they're deciding which game to buy. You can help them out by
writing a review of a game you've played. Our new system allows you
to to rate a game according to challenge, controls, graphics,
storyline and more. You can also write up your own review. In order to avoid
those poignant, but ambiguous
reviews of, "It sucks," we set a 750-character minimum for all
of the reviews. If you’ve decided that a particular game falls short
of the mark, we'd just like you to take that thought and flesh it
out a bit so your fellow gamers can know exactly how you reached
that conclusion. Once you start talking about specifics, you’ll find
that you reach 750 characters pretty quickly. And if we find your
review exceptionally entertaining, informative or entertainingly
informative, you may find your composition in our "Featured Review"
section.
If you're a person of few words, you can always post your concise
witticisms in the Discussion Forums. Each game has its own forum for
players to share comments, tips or rants. So whether you have a quick quip, or you'd like to write War and Peace and
Super Smash Bros. Brawl, we have the medium for your muse. We know you have things to say,
and we want to hear them.
Or at least read them. Or maybe read them in a funny voice. We look forward to
reading your next literary masterpiece! |
| Perhaps You Can Make a Living by Being
Creepy |

Step 1: Be Creepy. Step 2: ? Step 3:
Profit!
When we saw some of the preview trailers for
Saints Row 2, featuring Gary Busey in a segment called, "Street
Lessons
from Uncle Gary," we mused aloud on whether or not anyone else had
made such a successful career out of being creepy than Gary Busey.
He didn't start out being so creepy. He played the squeaky-clean
title role in The Buddy Holly Story in 1978, but sometime in the
last 30 years, he has evolved into the perpetual psychopathic bad
guy.
We've posted one of the videos, "Combat Tips: Throwing People" on the product pages for
the Xbox 360
version, PS3 version,
Xbox 360 Collector's Edition and
PS3 Collector's
Edition of Saints Row 2. We actually have two videos posted on these
pages. Scroll down to the second one to see Gary Busey in all of his
creepy glory as he laughs at people being thrown off of buildings,
off of ships, in front of trains and up airport baggage loaders. You
need to be at least 17 years old to watch this video because
seeing too much Gary Busey can possibly stunt your growth.
To add insult to injury, we realized that Busey probably made more money in that
30 seconds than any of us make in a year. But we suppose its good
work if you can get it. We have plenty of creepy guys around here,
but that attribute serves as more of a detriment than a career
booster. Here comes one of them now. We'll stop writing until he
goes away. Act natural. Don't make eye contact. Okay, after asking
us if we had any un-waxed, cinnamon-flavored dental floss, he's
gone.
Now, where were we? Oh, turning creepiness into profit. Watch
the Gary Busey video for inspiration, and drop us a line at
editor@gamestop.com if
you've found a way to make a living out of being creepy. |
