Okay, so I am a couple days late, but Friday marks five years I've had this account with GameSpot. It took quite a while before I even got involved with the community features. When I originally made this account it was just so I could download trailers and demos and things like that. Then during one of my high school classes I was really bored and that's when I began to venture into the forums. I really have come to love the site, even though I may not always be happy with some events or review scores, but it's always been here for me and my gaming interests.
Here's to five years with GameSpot.
So I was working today at GameStop and it was just a normal day like any other. Helping customers, selling games, etc. That is until a 6'5" woman came strolling into the store and asked me about Guitar Hero. She looked really familiar to me, but I wasn't sure where. Of course I started piecing things together once she walked in. Really tall and athletic, had an accent, and was really to throw down the money for a PS3 and Guitar Hero on a whim. Finally I realized it was Lauren Jackson of the WNBA team the Seattle Storm (I work in downtown Seattle if you haven't guessed already). I don't follow sports very closely, but I had seen her on the news and various sports reports before. She even holds several MVP awards. Apprently she also really likes Guitar Hero. Maybe not the biggest celebrity, but I thought it was a cool part of my day.
Though it's not the first time we've had a celebrity appearance in the store. Not too long ago we had a visit from Sig Hansen, captan of one the ships featured on the Discovery Channel show Deadliest Catch, but I wasn't in the store at the time, lol. Though he did sign some of our marketing for the upcoming game.
