Let Ian know on Twitter how much you enjoy Tales from the Game Store and perhaps we'll get them more often!

[@DeliciousHotShmoze]

Okay, but will telling him how much we enjoy them just encourage him to share more of the ones he’s had on hand but hasn’t shared yet, or will telling him magically cause more weird customers to show up to create more Tales?

[@PaulWerkema]

"I'm a good person to know." This is a person you shouldn't get to know.

[@donnylurch4207]

He sounds like a GTA mission character.

[@Morgil27]

When Pat started googling the guy's name, I was half expecting the first result to be a police rap sheet.

[@JacksonHerod]

Funny thing...I googled who invented the 3D Camera and under the guy Pat mentioned, there was a guy named Marc that had filed for a bunch of invention patents.

[@IanNewYashaTheFinalAct]

Rumor has it there’s a certain movie filmed in the back room of a Luna starring *Meredith Baxter Birney, Phoebe Cates,* and *Olivia Munn* where they and a guy in a falcon costume pour *gallon jugs of Ranch Dressing* all over *Ian* Filmed in *3D* using *Marc’s camera* and available as a bonus blu-ray with the pre-order of an Intellivision Amico _(individual blu-rays are _*_not for resale)_*

[@josean6287]

Not gonna lie I've watched every tales from the game store and every week im hopefull you guys add one! Favorite segment of the podcast!

[@xflarearcadia1766]

I know what you did last Summer, wet trade-ins.

[@lawrencemoody738]

[@tylerhackner9731]

When he says he’s a good person to get to know, he’s probably not

[@frodobagginz2094]

He should have put Art Vandelay as his name on the card.

[@bundr]

and dealing with imports/exports!

[@byteblok]

Latex salesman

[@BakiX]

*about to take a bite out of his lunch* "Moist trade-in's" *...puts down sandwich*

[@KNVisual]

His business card game is on point

[@shanedavis5799]

Ian needs a tshirt that says "Doesn't Look Like A Fairy".

[@carlosnieve1225]

Waders, a metal detector, and a pile of wet games. This guy has really got life all figured out.

[@joshnickerson83]

I know a guy with a business card that has a similar list of "talents", except his list includes 'massage therapist'.

[@jamesb.6177]

Coy bastard...

[@TooBokoo]

Please PM me his number.

[@joshnickerson83]

@@TooBokoo if I still had the card LOL

[@surferbrg]

This was too much, was super funny and still my favorite segment of the Podcast. Looking forward to another visit to Luna Video Games after mayhem dies down. Plus still wouldn't forget my visit to Luna Video Games.

[@DaGameNerd]

Should've offered him the Panesian games ;)

[@unclelou4839]

Back-to-back TFTGS?? A weekend treat!

[@xflarearcadia1766]

"You spoony bard!"

[@WaysideWade]

The best part is you could totally hear Ian saying this to the peculiar character. 🤔☠️

Don't go messing with the daughter of Zeus

[@alienenema2972]

God I love that intro. Never gets old

[@stoves5877]

BONUS? Is it my birthday? now let's make it even better lets get a continuation of Ranch Dressing

[@TheCreepypro]

what a fantastic story this is the kind of content I love to hear every tale from the gamestore is a precious gem I hope we get more

[@ThoseGuysPlay]

"weird moist trade-ins." The amount of NO-SELLING that Ian did to this line you'd think Pat was a local jobber LOL -Matt

[@mkbcnb]

I wonder where he dumped the trash bags with body parts??😲

[@6Stevo]

Best story yet! You guys should write a sitcom based on all these stories!

[@northofnashira2575]

This man is the Nikolai Tesla of the 3D camera. He needs his credit.

[@ninjamaster3453]

North Of Nashira or the Grey of the telephone

[@dallasINtokyo]

This was the funniest thing you guys have done. Love it

[@omikronweapon]

I believe everything on the business card, in as far as "I occasionally dig up a chicken bone" equates to being an archaeologist. He probably tried his hand at everything on there for a week or so. Perhaps the "inventor of the 3D camera" in his mind is "I thought up the concept before I heard someone else was already making em"

[@Kunstschilder1987]

ian, you just made my day, hillarious!!!

[@BRBMrSoul]

“Marc Levoy is a computer graphics researcher and Professor Emeritus of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, a vice president and Fellow at Adobe Inc., and (until 2020) a Distinguished Engineer at Google. He is noted for pioneering work in volume rendering, light fields, and computational photography.” If it was this Marc, university people are weird man. Timeline fits with before he got into Adobe and Google. 3D camera may of meant like a 3 rendering camera software? Ended up getting his job later on, I mean best I could find haha

[@rm4213]

Love these stories!!!!!

[@phunq9087]

I think you should consider adding the voice sample of "BONUS!" from Blazing Star to your sound board after watching the intro to this video.

[@DrLeatherface]

This is the best one yet 😂😂😂

[@WWJD85]

These need to be made into a compilation set

[@jeredyoung4737]

That was the best tales frome the game store ever and I love that lan still have the business card 😂😃

[@poposterous236]

Mark is an American hero, hands down Also, they had 3D cameras 100 years ago. The first 3D movie was shown in 1922. 3D cinema predates color. It's always been a failed gimmick.

[@BRBMrSoul]

Maybe he was a lot older than Ian guessed xD

[@TheSimTetuChannel]

Congratulations you found the bard guard's card!

[@rhdata05]

2 in 1 week!

[@samsonthemighty9254]

Ikr suck lucky boys we r 🤣

[@SilverbackGorilla69]

Did you see the tasteful thickness of that business card, that subtle off white coloring, oh my god it even has a water mark.

[@tomiturkki979]

Man of culture.

[@PrettyBlueThings]

Amazing into!!

[@StainedGlassDemon]

I work at a store and have had some weird people call in asking me what computer monitor would be the best for porn before. Never not awkward or creepy.

[@GameHammerCG]

Probably one that doesn’t do too intense a colour palette? I don’t know. You probably don’t want unrealistically bright flesh tones, I’m guessing?

[@MagneticPlus]

Love these

[@RoyStorey]

i know its just a background pic but i cant imagine this guy not carrying a cat into the store alongside him

[@Dudeitsmeee]

He likely found these on his detecting sesh under the pier and sought you out to offload them.

[@NamooNara]

Mark is a time traveller

[@LP-fy8wr]

LOL this guy fished a random bag of games and porn out of the lake with those waders!! Another great one Ian keep up the awesome work brother!!!

[@smokinjoesgaming2090]

what if he was a ghost and didnt know he had drowned

[@DaimoHope]

Now thats creepy

[@PatTheNESpunk]

Far out.

[@10minGameplay1]

Invented the 3D camera in the 1840s, clearly a Vampire

[@jamespontre6865]

Love this vid

[@ErikE7683]

I think Ian met the real life George costanza lololol

[@skabcat242]

That makes me wonder if people are burying games now.

Waderman Marc: The First Tale From The Game Store

[@ThtOtherJess]

Honestly this made me a little sad. We’d have a few guys like this at an old job and some became “regulars”. Most were homeless vets. I hope that’s not what was going on with this guy.

[@Nubz77]

I mean if he bought a PS2 game, then presumably he had somewhere to play it.

[@WWJD85]

Hey it's the Cabbage Patch in the background that Pat talks to during the commercial watch parties on Twitch

[@brandname6]

Sounds like a magic man

[@pizzamon795]

I was wondering if you can tell if we have liked or disliked previous videos? So you can tell if we're loyal fans or not.

[@WWJD85]

I wonder if he knows the ranch dressing guy

[@KNVisual]

Bonus!

[@linvol20]

I can’t 😂😂😂😂

[@stevenplayford8223]

This could only have gotten weirder if the guy had pulled out a bottle of ranch dressing.

[@solarwinds5114]

Even if I ran a DVD store I wouldn't have taken it

[@DadRacer]

Ah yes, all that metal in those PS2 games.

[@JohnSmith-yd5wq]

The anti shoplifting tab or strip on the case would set off the metal detector

[@atomicagegamer3693]

"Weird/moist trade-ins".

[@Punkadelic2112]

IDK man I just googled "Inventor of 3D camera" and the first thing that appeared was someone named Marc..

[@alez1908]

Yes !!!

[@tylerhackner9731]

👍👍🔥🔥

[@samsonthemighty9254]

Yay!

[@jamespatrick5894]

I found a guy named Marc that has patents related to 3d imaging, and is a programmer and a lawyer. Maybe he was legit, but just weird

[@robrichardson9117]

How can you work at a gamestore and pay rent in California?

[@TheThejaketucker]

I like the waders guy. I would like to have a beer with him

[@cristiancalderon9657]

At least his card didn’t showed Wata grader

[@quezcatol]

speaking of "tales from the game store" I remember a gamestop employer who kept asking us what we did for a living everytime he saw someone in the store- and one time a guy was part of the stockmarket and this fucking game employer says; you got an inside shares to recommend? But the guy explained thats illegal to do, and the guy got very mad and said, with a loud voice, who is hurt but you helping me? I help you with discounts here and you help me with inside trading! with a serious look... but this dummy thought a guy with a well paid work is gonna gamble his career at the stockmarket for some young game seller... AND like a fucking guy working a game store has tons of cash to invest into the stockmarket? who is he fooling, lol- He also asked girls sometimes if they were single, so yes, mentally ill people can sometimes work at the store as well.

[@thetearsoftime]

Just s normal day finding PS2 games on the beach

[@1TakoyakiStore]

So this guy can allegedly mine diamonds, cut diamonds, transport diamonds, and provide protection to the diamonds. Hmm...

[@jNetDowling]

And draft plans for a diamond storage facility.

[@menacexp]

hahaha great story

[@Cwsharp13]

Bone us!

[@NewAgeRed]

"This is when I realized that this job was not going to be normal and everything was going to be strange forever and ever from this day forward." lol :V

[@DrakenARTZsteam]

"Mark MacGyver" is the name on the card? XP

Did he go wading for the games?

Nice way to slip in that mask thing.. you were lied to

how does pat know how those movies start

[@user-zi5lf4yw8k]

😂😂😂

[@LookingGlass1865]

Slight conjecture here, but I think Mark died long ago, and this was actually his ghost. It's a projection of all Mark's dreams and ambitions that he never fulfilled in life. Wandering by day, he hopelessly tries selling the same few PS2 games over and over again despite no one accepting them. He aimlessly trudges along the beach every night in those waders, dragging along those two large trash bags and metal detector. If he catches you out on the beach between midnight and dawn, he devours your soul and turns it into an adult film on DVD which he then gives to various movie/game shop employees, given that they "don't look like fairies." That DVD he gave Ian was actually the soul of an avid beach goer named David, who went missing the night before.
