Guy: So how much for this? Me: To sell it? Guy: Yes Me: *checks on computer* okay so it'll be $5 Guy: *takes out his wallet and gets out a 5 dollar bill* Me: What are you doing? Guy: Well I really don't like this game so I'm giving it to you guys *hands 5 dollar bill and game* Me: No, you give the game to us and we give you $5, it's a trade Guy: O_O Me: *hands him money*
Then the guy just looks at me like he's won something and walks out. As if he couldn't just throw the game away or something." |

Okay I was at EB games with one of my friends and we were talking about Wii and 360. Some kid who looked about 13-15 came up and was like "Who cares about those two Dreamcast is gonna Own both of them". Worst part of it was, he was serious.
Also, I had a Kmart employee come up to me and try to convince me to buy the "Sony Wii". :blink:

:lol: Ahh the ignorance of non gamers.
Here's one I remember, my friend let me borrow a Dreamcast game, and here's a conversation that came about with an obeserving non gamer.
Non Gamer: So what's that you're giving to borgster?
Mate: It's a Dreamcast game
Non Gamer: Oh .. a videogame?
Mate: Yes
Non Gamer: Oh right cool! Is it on the Playstation?
Mate and myself o_O
:P

Back when the Wario Ware game first came out for the wii, my friends and I were watching this guy play in a local Target. He was doing a mini game where you were driving. He didn't know what to do and we jokingly told him to hit the breaks, so he started to stomp his foot. I guess he thought his body had a motion sensor device built in. :lol:

:lol: Hahaha, awesome.
Aw, I feel sort of left out. I've never been involved in any hilarious situations like those, but of course, I'm constantly bombarded with the whole, 'Gamestation', 'Playbox' thing from the older generations.
I did have a laugh over Christmas when my granddad was complaining about the graphics in Wii Sports (his great-granddaughter had been bought a Wii for Christmas): "Well, I didn't think the graphics were very good at all! It's ridiculous paying that amount of money for substandard technology!"
Ahh, bless his heart. :P

I was in EB and a dumb arse mum was talking with the EB employee about buying a PSP for her son for xmas.
Mum: So I want the best one, which is the best?
EB Dude: Well, there's the normal one, the normal one with two of these games and the Simpsons pack.
M: No, just tell me which one is the very best, the top of the line.
EB: They're all the same...
M: No, this one is a Sony one and that one is a Simpsons one.
EB: *LOLS* (I do too) they're the same. One's a different colour and comes with a different game.
M: But which one is the best?

I haven't really had any moments like those apart from someone actually asking what the 'any' key is. Yes Simpsons moments do happen in real life

So I'm playing Guitar Hero 2 with my friend.
Me: You're falling in the red zone, use star power.
Friend: What heck is star power!
Me: You know those star-shaped notes and that blue bar over the your meter.
Friend: Yeah
Me: That's star power.
Friend: How do i used it!
Me: Tilt the guitar.
*my friend tilts the Guitar upside-down*
Me: You're doing it the wrong way. Tilt it the other way
*he finally deploys star power*
Friend: What happened! THEY'RE ALL BLUE NOTES!
Me: Just play it like you're supposed to.
Friend: Ok then.
*a couple seconds later he fails the song*
Me: How did you fail?
Friend: I don't know! I was playing the blue notes!

The real story is this guy wanted to buy the game and the shop assistant got confused and he walks out with $5 for selling them a game they already own... <_<
