I don't know how many times I've seen people do this. I'll be playing a game, someone walks in looks at the TV for half a second turns to me and ask's who's wining. Its not that its not a valid question or anything, like if you were playing online or had someone next to you playing it also. Its when your playing it offline, solo and they ask you that. They didn't watch your game long enough to get any idea of what your playing.

When your playing an adventure game, (don't know what else to call it) someone says that, but your exploring or doing a very easy delivery side quest. What do you tell them? Umm nobody right now, see what they say after that :) Its really funny when your playing a team game, how do you react to that 1? Then it gets weird when your looking through the menu and they ask you that, your not even in the game. Its not just video games I've seen people do this with board games.

Its almost like there not even paying attention to what your playing or whats going on. Then you think to yourself would they say that no matter what your playing. A puzzle game would probably make them look at you weird or a game like World in conflict, that would make an interesting explanation.

Its usually older people who do this and you know there going to have no idea what your talking about even if you can answer that. Then its funny when they know this so they just don't ask. Which is funny because you could probably explain it to them. Then I've had friends that had 70 year old grandmas that played video games. So its obviously if your paying attention or not.

Then you have the people who skip asking that question and go to a much more annoying 1. What game is this? This can be a very uncomfortable question depending on the game. You sit there for a few seconds thinking, "what do i say, i don't know what to say, HOW DO I EXPLAIN THIS aaaaaaaaah". There's 2 ways to handle this, 1 just tell them the name and leave it or try explaining the game to them. Then if the game has a weird name like "Sins of a solar empire" ya that's fun to say to people that have no idea what your talking about. (yes i am a normal human)

None of these would be bad if they actually followed up with another question and started a conversation. Not just saying an empty question with nothing behind it. I can't be the only one who's seen this.8)
