Those Poor Gamecrazy Employees and Their Training Videos

Here's a surprise. Someone managed to sneak out what appears to be a training video for game store franchise "Game Crazy."

It's meant to be words like "hip," and "cool," maybe even "1337" if that language were commonly used, but it's doing quite the opposite. We should only be so lucky to not have to go through that kind of training. Maybe we'll be a lot nicer when we see what store employees in general have to go through with videos like these.

Thanks to eshock and youtube for letting us see this, and our deepest condolences for those who have to go through something like that.

This video is used to Brain Wash them to think they are High Class, when they don't know 1 thing about games.

It will validate his theories about gamers. Things like this are sad. As an American who is partly of African decent I am deeply offended.

Pure horrid... it's unbearable to watch.

by Omatic - 2006-08-05 20:32
» Not bad actually

I think this is HILARIOUS. I wouldn't mind working for them if they put that much effort into making a training video like this.



Most training videos are boring as hell.

by Chaos - 2006-08-05 22:25
» Yep

Yeah, I work at Hollywood Video. Our training vids are kind of lame.



But so is every other training video in the world. So it's pretty par for the course.

Wow, I've been working at GameCrazy here in Phoenix, AZ for about 8 months now and I've never seen that video. At my training meeting we just did mock sales and discussed everything GameCrazy has to offer... Now before all of you go around insulting GameCrazy, there are a few stores that have great and knowledgable staff, that really know their stuff. Granted, there's the opposite as well, and they really give the rest of us a bad image. Besides, you all know how untalented actors act when put in front of a camera, nothing is natural and it's all scripted. Go into a good store near you and you can see some quality employees actually helping guests without being so damn cheesey. Just a thought ;).

» boring

that trailer really suck, thinkong there so cool, and of course they don't know what there doing in real life. $20 bucks for mvp is not worth it, its like buying a great game for 20 bucks is worth it. i don't even buy games there. i hate gamecrazy, eb games, gamestop, and circuit city. they don't know anthing about games. i went ebgames to buy tony hawk underground 2 and the game was sealed in a plastic bag, the game case really looked as if some used it, the games should be sealed up in the package.

» woah....

i had to stop watching when that Zelda chick came back... i thought that i only had to sit through her mindless wanna-be shat talk once, but once i heard those lame-ass words come out of her mouth again.... that was the end of that video.



How can she talk like that with a straight face?! Even the white commentator dude had a dumbstruck face when she was done... >_>;; Gamecrazy employees have my sympathy.

» crazy video

That guy with the goatee walking around that never got much face time works at the store I go to, and definitly hounds at least me to buy like everything in the store and its always Preorder-preorder-preorder, but not nearly as bad as GameStop.



Next time he hounds me I'll just bring up that he wasn't pretty enought to get voice time on the video.

When they said "Zelda" I half expected some jerk with a sword and Spock-ears...



And did that redhead remind anyone else of the two white guys on that show "The Boondocks" on Adult Swim??
