Today, a friend and I went to Gamestop to pick up a game he wanted. I ended up buying a 17+ game, and I was prepared to show my license, but he stopped me an said, "I know you're 18". He then said, "Man, I've pretty much watched you grow up in this store." A game salesman watched me grow up. FML

OP here. It's a FML to me because, I'm not ashamed of being a gamer, I feel that it's just a pretty dorky situation. I totally was caught off guard when the site gave this entry the green light. I just thought it would be funny to share. A bit of background though, #155 is completely right, it's only been like 4 years.

That's more of FHL. He's been working at a game store for all those years. Atleast you had an excuse, you liked playing video games. Not all kids are into going out and playing sports etc.

#214, in 1994. The ESRB requires people who buy M-Rated titles to be 17 or older (and AO titles to be 18+). Anyone younger needs to have their parent's consent. Countries/states don't have to enforce this law but last I heard, a lot of countries/states do enforce it especially after what happened to that 15 year old kid and the whole Call of Duty shebang. I could be wrong about not having to enforce this law though... since it's a law.

its your own fault for spending enough time at a video game store for someone to remember you and know how old you are

Well, on the bright side at least your still young and not a 30+ something striking up a conversation with the clerk on how you logged 200 hours on Fallout 3, I ******* hate gamestop cause they always try to offer you crap you don't want and there's always some doosher going on about some game with the clerk and it takes forever to buy one thing.

Jesus Christ, SO WHAT? You've stayed honest to your likes and hobbies. "OMG I'M A LOSER BECAUSE A GAME SALESMAN WATCHED ME GROW UP." Why does everyone seem to think that being a gamer means being a loser? I've been a gamer all my life and landed an overseas job in the game industry. Loser my ass, your life is not ******, own up to what you like.

Don't worry, this is the year 2009. Video games no longer have a negative "nerd" stigma. I don't know if you've noticed, but everyone and their mom plays video games these days.
