I am of the opinion that one should have some idea of what they are getting into when purchasing anything when a substantial dollar amount is required. Games, indeed have a dollar value that needs a bit of thinking before one buys. The Average game is $50 these days, and that can eat a hole into someones pocket quickly.
This brings me to something that has gone far beyond a mere annoyance: Folks who don't know the name of the game they just bought.
I was having a conversation where the individual attempted to inform my of his purchase: Devil May Cry 3. He simply said: "Yeah, I got that one Devil Game! It's awsome! The dude with the coat kicks ass, and that other dude in Blue looks cool to!"
Now, I would like to think this man isn't a complete idiot, so I give him a chance: "What game again?" All he could say was : "You know, that one Devil-Game with the red guy!" Nothing more, nothing less. The Devil Game, with the Red guy. He gets an f even for trying.
It seems to me, that not only do I have more than a vague idea of what a game might cost, but I'm pretty sure I at least know the name of the game, much less the name of the main character. Here, we have someone who spent $50, on a game he can't seem to recall very well. Does this person even deserve to spend money? I think not. It really isn't to much to ask of such a thing. He gets an f in money management.
Well, I think I'm going to play that Turtle game, followed by the Ninja Game, maybe a bit of that meat and bready food afterwards, after I type on thes letter-thingy.
