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.
No one talks in my stores because they are too small and most people in my town are real grumpy g!ts, no ones ever happy whether it's a game shop or a very very happy place! always the same dull people! especially around this time of year as everyone is spending money on other people than themselves.
Gamers are usually very unsociable people anyway, they spend most of their time locked away in their room playing games only to emerge when 'dinner' is called by their mum or dad!
I've thought the same thing Grix, but no-one ever seems to come down to the west country unless they are on holiday.
Sometimes I look at people, and wonder who they can be. They then look at me, and give me a rather bad look.
Ah well. Perhaps we'll never meet. Or perhaps we already have...
