Forums - Gaming Discussion - "Water Cooler" Gaming 2017

vivster on 22 May 2017

I basically talk about games with my colleague every day. Mostly about Children's card games though.

So what you are saying is that the Switch is the new water cooler?



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Because to the fair the OP isn't exactly well worded or clear on what you are asking,

I believe what you are asking is

"what do people in the wild talk about gaming"

which is a fucking massive vague question which no one person can answer for every group of people on the planet

but the last paragraph of your OP actually reads

"Is the switch popular to be talked about now"

"Is VR still as big a talking point as it was 2 months ago"

So you have an OP which asks 3 things... one very vague impossible to answer question seems to be what you want the thread to be about.

Everyone talks about their own shit, that's about all your going to get lol, the Switch is popular, people are likely talking about it, Scorpio is on the way, people will talk about that, the main home console right now is the PS4, if people are talking about or playing home console video games they're likely doing it and talking about it on the ps4.

 - Because to the fair the OP isn't exactly well worded or clear on what you are asking,

...But In no way lacking in specificity so much so that you could come to a conclusion on it proclaiming the Switch is or isn't popular - It's a stretch. "Switch" was mentioned in one sentence that had nothing to do with what you said, feel free to reread and overexamine it.

"Are these actually dominating conversations around the watercooler in your opinion?"

I've been to all the water coolers, just got back, yup mate, they're all talking about VR

edit - Should point out, I'm off from the thread now, like I said people are asking you "do you mean X" questions because of the OP not being clear, that's all.

I have no problem with that.

I didn't, I just read "Water Cooler" and "Switch" and felt like referencing the Old Xbox One Meme.
