Saturday Evenin'. After a busier day, youre in town, chillin' between the games, looking if i find some nice deals.

When i stopped at the last Copy of Atelier Rorona (49,99 wtf.. luckilly, ive ordered it for the half some days ago), i've noticed  2 Guys were talking about the Call of Duty Franchise. They came closer, and to be honest, i was interrested in what they had to say to each other. They've stopped next to me, one of them was picking up BlazBlue: Continuum Shift but put it back with the Words 'I wonder which perverted person would buy this'.

i couldnt believe he just said that. after some seconds of getting back my breath i've replied with 'i actually did, nice game, brilliant fighting system, and except some painted, well proportioned Boobs, like you get in every game nowadays, theres nothing sexually themed in it.' 

He was pretty quiet for some seconds, but then he replied with something like 'Looks like a game for pedophiles to me, but nevermind, lets go XX.'

He went off, i quickly grabbed a COD:Black Ops and yell'd out 'Oh Crap, i wonder which kind of terrorist would actually play this?'

...but he didnt reply.

 

Srsly i was like 'WTF' after this. did anything like this ever happen to you? Am i false in my head for actually not thinking BB is for pedophiles 0o?

Honestly, I think you need to improve your social skills.

That reminds me, friend and me were talking about COD, WaW I think as that was quite a time ago and some random kid just came over and started talking about how awesome it is and stuff, so out of politeness me and friend engaged him in the conversation, to which point he proceeded to point at EVERY single FPS game in X360 section(Which is ALOT) and voice his opinion on it. My friend decided to politely wander off, leaving me to deal with the overoptimistic punter and I couldn't break his heart by saying GTFO.

Top 5 rules on how to be a gamer, while fitting in normal society:

Rule 1: NEVER talk about games outside of the internet or home.

Rule 2: NEVER buy niche games from stores, always buy online.

Rule 3: ALWAYS agree with someone that says anime, games, Star Trek ,French cartoons or stamp collecting is weird.

Rule 4: NEVER yell out Bayonetta during sex.

Rule 5: DO NOT get a Tri-Force tattoo. Game T-Shirts are allowed, but they either have to be ironic or fit in with your hipster fashion sense.

These rules generally work, but they can annoy you a little when you want to talk about your hobby in the real world. I've also found over the years that we as gamers are just as judgemental as everyone else. I've been surprised so many times by people who don't fit the gamer stereotype, but they have an interest in gaming. I've met a body builder who loved Oblivion and Bioshock, a biker who loves Metal Gear Solid and Gran Turismo, a Lebanese gang member (close friend) who adores Dragon Age and God of War ( I recently went with him to pick up the Ultimate Edition) and I've always been taken a back.

The point is, you shouldn't have cared what the guys were saying and you should have just ignored them, mainly because half the population of world is filled with ignorant dick heads and any attempt at educating them will only lead to an aneurysm. It's nice that you tried, but your better off waiting until the day you see a person pick up a pre-owned copy of Cross Edge and then try and start a conversation with them.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

Hehe... the only time I start discussion in stores is when parents buy there 12 year olds games like CoD... I tell them that there are games their kids would enjoy even if they don't kill people in it. Most parents even reconsider buying the game, because they just did not know that the main theme of the game was killing...

Sadly I was visiting my cousin lately, and her son played super scribblenauts... only interessted in killing people... i then tried to show him other things to do with his game... and stangly enough he had more fun diging holes then killing people... I was quite satisfied...

Also I know how you must have felt in that store, I feel like that sometimes too, but I never started a discussion with people disliking good games. ;P

Seriosuly? There's a military guy with guns on the cover, and an 18 sign on the lower left corner, and they can't figure out that there's violence and killing in the game?

Sadly... yes, because they are not interested in the games their kids play, or they just ignore the content until it gets pointed out by someone.

It annoys me when I see stupid ignorant people who can't even notice the cover of a video game they buy for their kids, and then have the nerve to complain that their brats play violent video games.
