Why is it that people in game shops don't talk to each other. We always seem to have so much to say on the Future of Gaming forum, mostly about everything, not just the future of games. So why isn't it the same in the shops?
Do you think that people would look at you funny if you walked up to a complete stranger and said 'oh, that Shenmue is good, but I don't like the look of that Wrestling game!' Yet we do this all the time on Special Reserve's site. Is it the fact that we can't see each other, or that we are typing rather than talking? Perhaps,as an exercise, you should go to the shops on saturday and try it out. Store assistants in the big game shops barely grunt at you, let alone talk in sentences, unless they see you with money in your hand, and even then it seems like such a strain to tell you what you need to know.
So, in a way it's lucky that we have this forum. Remember what Pink Floyd said, Keep Talking.

Hello!
I'm only here for a few minutes today, had lots and lots of training to do at work and I've only just got back for dinner! Thanks Ali for letting me win, and thank you Sheepy for being lucky for me!
BTW: Sheepy, did you know you are in the SR magazine this month? Review for Sudden Strike!

I've spoken to people in my local Game store on several occasions, but only when an obvious opening has presented itself.
I also find the staff in Game very friendly - but that might have something to do with the fact that it is practically my second home! Yes, they even talk to me when I'm not buying anything!
