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.

People normally, just walk in their and come out with game. The assisitants stand neat the till, ready to grab your money, or they eventually tell you to pre-order a PS2, instead of buying your game.
You will probably win with this, original, interesting and okay
