Everyone's got their Thing.
I'll admit, after a holiday season of explaining video games to guest at work I'm pretty tired of social interaction with people that don't know about the things their buying.
Seriously Nintendo... why did you make the Wiimote and Nun-chuck sold separately and so confusing to non-gamers? If I had a nickle for every time I had to explain them I'd buy the Moon and bring it down on you guys!
Anyway getting back to my story I was pretty tired of people, and tonight I had a guest that had just picked up a PSP for himself and was asking a bunch of questions. Yeah, I know it was new to him, but as I said, I was tired of these sorts of questions, but I'm on the job so I'm polite and answer everything I can. I just hate him a little more inside each time.
Then he comes up to me with a pinball game and asks me about something I don't know. So we read the back of the case. Turns out that according to the back of the game there are some actual old pinball game boards on the game. And his face lights up. That look of someone that's found something that's pure gold if only to them. And that made me smile right back.
I might still not know much about pinball, but I know that look and it's nice to be reminded we all have our thing.
B!
