The people that play them. I work at a game store, I see all types.
- The spoiled 6-12 year old brat throwing a tantrum until his mom buys him Modern Warfare 2/Bad Company 2/Gears of War/whatever the hell else.
- The tool who lost all ability to communicate unless it's by means of keyboard or microphone. (this includes not making eye contact even once in a 3-5 minute conversation)
- The one people would call a jock. Does sports games, shooting games, etc primarily because it will make his peers accept him. If he's not playing those, he can be found at a gym, overcompensating.
- Anyone who has ever uttered the phrase, "The only game I play anymore is Modern Warfare 2." I get it. You're insecure, and because I play wussy games like Tales of Vesperia, you're superior to me.
- The girlfriend. I don't have anything against this one, except for the fact her boyfriend (see "jock," above) is allowed to control her. She's sweet, but it's frustrating she comes in looking for a game with no possible way for me to figure out which one short of going back to the conversation she had and reading her boyfriend's mind.
- The SquareEnix fanboys/girls. Yikes. Statistically, they tend to be overweight, greasy, dressed in all black, and think either Cloud or Sephiroth is the coolest character ever created in any form of fiction. Sometimes they wear cat ears or fake tails and hold things like they're L from Death Note (Admittedly, I do that last one, but more for sanitation reasons).
- Anyone who has ever come in asking when the new Mario or Zelda is coming out for PSP.
- Anyone who comes in for illegal services/products pertaining to games.
- The crippling minority who actually give all games a fair chance. The one that actually learned how to play Bionic Commando. The one that actually gave Retro Game Challenge a shot. These people make the job worth it.
