I will recount a lovely tale to you all... one Christmas season I worked at GameStop as seasonal help to make a little extra money to gamble away in Vegas, and anyway, one time this father and little girl, like no older than 8 or something, game in, and she wanted to get GTA:Liberty City Stories for the dumb PSP thing. Anyway, they brought it up to me to pay for it and I kind of looked at it and looked up and the father and said, "You do know this is rated "Mature" and has some pretty bad content in it?" and he just shrugged and said "That's okay" or something. So I sold it to them!

And just when you could have stood up for what is right...

He had the right to buy it, so he did. Warning the father of something he should already know wasn't Top's job - he's there to sell the product, not be a parent to other parents, but he was wise enough to do it.

It really gets annoying when people make excuses for stupid parents.

By refusing to sell him the game? It was my job at the time. I did tell him what he was doing, and he had every right to do it anyway.

Seriously, its not just this post, but where do you get off with your constant arrogance and belittlement and judgement of others? Almost every one of your post is blatant flame-bating, and in the case that they are innocent posts you're extremely ignorant in how to function on a message board. Either way, it is not something the Town of Odyssey needs or welcomes. We certainly would like you to stick around, but I suggest that you either grow up and learn to interact properly with other people, or just leave us alone. We don't need additional drama beyond what the skilled writers of AIO bring us.

And where do you get off doing your job Mr. Crusader!?


Anyway....from what I hear, GTA 4, gaming wise is superb. Now content-wise...I wouldn't suppose it's any worse than CSI: Miami...hah. (I hate that show by the way.)

If you don't agree with the content...don't play it but that doesn't mean you should degrade others for playing it.

That would have been against company policy, and awesomeness policy.

Oh, and also it would be colossally stupid.

I think that Top did the right thing, but I don't think standing up for what you believe is ever stupid. Unless you have stupid beliefs, of course.

GTA IV for infants .

Not selling someone a GTA game just because it's rated M and risk getting fired would be colossally stupid though.

Ditto @ EK.

I never said it wouldn't be.
