Gamestop Girl, If You Only Knew ...

From the Best of Craigslist in Raleigh, N.C., here's an ode to true love that, to non-gamers sounds about like Survivor's "The Search is Over." But this should melt the heart of any girl who has taken controller in hand and crusaded against unrelenting hordes of enemies, wondering if there ever was a boy out there who considered her just as worthy of the fight.

"Oh GameStop Girl, how you make my heart meter skip a beat. If you were being held captive in a mountain fortress by a ruthless mutant mafia gangboss and I had to fight my way through 16 levels of fire-breathing undead ninjas with swords the size of small ponies, I would find a way, even if, after every level, a small man continued to taunt me by saying that you were in another castle. EVEN IF."
There's more at the link. Someone tell me if this guy got the girl. Or, if anyone knows a GameStop clerk at University Mall in Chapel Hill, N.C., forward along. This encounter was from March 11, but it sounds so visceral — well for him anyway — she may remember the guy.

Because Everything on Craigslist is For Real

I'm looking for an apartment. Haven't had to do this in about three years. So yesterday, I'm on Craigslist and I find the Cognitive Dissonance Bargain of a lifetime: Two bedrooms, 1300 sq feet, air conditioning, parking, cat-friendly, in San Francisco's white-approved Noe Valley, for $1300.

"That's a Nigerian 419 scam," my friend at work said. "They put these dream homes up and try to sucker you into placing a holding fee or deposit."

I was crushed. I could take the relentless fakery and heartbreak of trolling for online sex in the spam-soaked CL casual encounters. But housing? Was nothing sacred? And now there is this:

Rumor: Take Two Europe Redundancies


Hot off the heels of the US and Europe Sony lay-offs, Take Two Interactive (owners of the subsidiaries Rockstar, 2k, and many others) may also see senior redundancies all over its Europe companies. Offices in the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Australia, and the Netherlands could be affected by the recent restructuring of the Take 2 Board caused the ousting of CEO Paul Eibeler and other directors. Shareholders earlier this year had revealed plans to make changes in order to revive the struggling game publisher's business. More »

PS3 Greymarket: Officially Dead

In case you hadn't already heard from the excellent write-up by our own Michael Fahey, this craigslist listing confirms: the PS3 greymarket is as dead as the animated corpse that is Bob Barker disco.
Sony PS3 - 60GB - Brand New - Sealed in Box - $575 (los altos)
Received as Gift several weeks ago. Planned to return to EB Games, but I'm past the 2 week return period. This is about $75 less than you will pay with tax at most stores.
Of course, now that PS3s are available at your local electronic store of choice, they should be cheaper online. It's just surprising to see the phenomenon with my own eyes.
Thanks uberasian!

PlayStation 3 Camper Needed! Easy Money!

You gotta love Craigslist. So many uses! I've exploited it to sell furniture. Others have used it to scam hundreds with false promises of anonymous, attachment-free, rough sex. Some are looking to hire gullible line-sitters with no grasp on the concept of capitalism. More »

Get Yer Xbox Kiosk Here

We're sometimes hesitant about putting eBay/Craigslist stuff on the K, because someone always ends up making money, and it's not us. But, we did come across this original Xbox kiosk (just a kiosk, that's it) on Craigslist. The unit does contain built-in speakers and lights, which could be used to draw mosquitos and other insects. Baring in mind our hesitancy to post things like that, this item is pick-up only. Dude lives in Hawaii. So. More »

WoWer Seeks Hottie Through Craigslist

What happened to the days when Craigslist was a place where people put real listings and not fiction? As annoying as the trend is, I was still pretty amused by the "You-Gorgeous Me-A Gamer " listing from February. More »
