Welcome to my world
I had this conversation early this morning while looking for a game at the local game store.
rMe: "_Hi, I am looking for game 'xyz'. Do you have in stock?"
rClerk: "_That game is really bad"
rMe: "_I know, but I still need it"
rClerk: "_It is my duty to tell you that it totally sucks!"
rMe: "_I am well aware of that but I need it for another reason."
rClerk: "_May I ask what reason could that be?"
rMe: "_Well, the game includes some products that are advertised through the gameplay"
rClerk: (eyes wide open) "_Are you buying the game for the advertising in it!!!!?????"
rMe: "_Yes and no. What I mean is that I need it because I do research on games"
rClerk: "_Are you one of those people who study violence in games and say that games are bad for children?"
rMe: "_No, I do not study violence in games. Anyway, do you happen to have a copy of that game?"
rClerk: "_No, I do not have it in stock. And even if I had it, I shouldn't sell it to you. It is really bad!"
