I made the mistake of getting to know my game stop girl once. Lets just say that games were not her only passion. I learned more about her pet ferret that day than I learned about math in all of high school.

My gamestop girl is nice, but not that good looking.

BTW Pantera Fans In Love is the best Nerf Herder song.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Olivia Munn, but when did the attention change focus from Morgan Webb? This time last year or maybe a little further back, she was the big thing, the "gaming goddess" every fanboy drooled over.

Wonder what would have happened if G4 stuck with their old formula and shoehorned Morgan onto AotS.

@thrashanddestroy: Because men ogle the younger and the hotter versions TV personalities. Webb is hot, but Munn is... Munn.

@Invisible-Echidna:

Ill admit to this being sadly true.. I love Webb because I grew up to her on my TV, and I would rather spend time with her than with Munn because she seems smarter and more gamerly... but Olivia Munn... that's all I can think to say... just..."but... Olivia Munn." I'm sweating just thinking about her.

@thrashanddestroy:
I honestly never liked Morgan Webb to begin with. Her personality didn't kick with me, and I didn't find her very attractive.
Olivia Munn, on the other hand, is spunky (which I personally like, but I can understand it grates on others) and just f'en beautiful from where I'm sittin'.

Yeah, when it comes down to who I'd want to be trapped on a desert island with, (either one, really) it'd be Munn. She portrays a fun personality.

My wife works at a game store and let me tell you, they are like the sexxy nurse or french maid of the 21st century.

I feel so sorry for the girls working at game stores. Gamers are creepy. Although that said, gamer girls are often deep-voiced hunch-backed and socially inept too, so things balance out in the end.

that song pretty much describes my girlfriend perfectly! she's a store manager at gamestop, she's hot, and she plays games about as much as me! in fact, she had to convince me to play RE5 with her! our only difference, she's a ps3 person, and i'm a 360 person. oh well, can't win 'em all!

I used to love Parry Gripp until he abandoned "For Those About to Shop" in favor of his youtube songs. For Those About to Shop was a genius review site where Parry would review anything he felt like. For example, he once reviewed the exclamation mark.

I should add I'm immediately reminded of the classic "McDonald's Girl" song.

There are some chicks out there who just become the video game girl just to be in the spot light. I know this one girl who hates other girl gamers just because she wants to be the only girl gamer and the only one in her designated spot light. Thats why I'm a little wary of girl gamers these days.

This song is so catchy, and so very very true. But they always seem to show up at the store when the reservers and subs are fading...then vanish just as quickly.

Likely because of guys such as the one depicted in this video.

This video really hit home for me. Back in the late 90's early 2000's. My Mall had a very hot young girl working at an Electronic Boutique store. Whenever I walked in she'd smile at me, but of course that's her job, but in my mind I'd think, wow she's smiling at me.

Everytime I walked into the store a part of me wanted her to be there and another not to be there, because I would get so nervous around her, especially if I had her charging me. One time I dropped my money in front of her, pennies and nickles and a few people in line behind me laughed. I'm fat too so it's even worse.

Pereira is actually pretty good on the drums. A couple of years ago he did an AOTS piece where he went to his favorite real life rock band's concert and tried to play the real drums given his expertise with Rock Band and found he could do really well.

Of course Rock Band/Guitar Hero guitar skills and real life guitar skills don't match up but it seems like it is possible to make the jump from plastic to real drums if you're good enough.
