Happy conversation in the video game store at the Pru. (I went there to visit a fellow I met at a party a while ago, but it was his day off. Also, I was expecting it to be a game-game store. I picked up a couple of used PS2 titles anyway.) The players are GIRL, BOY, and CLERK.

GIRL: [Playing with Game Boy demo unit at the counter.] Samus looks like a girl.
BOY: Samus is a girl, has always been a girl.
CLERK: That must have warped many young minds, this revelation.
BOY: Yeah, I couldn't believe it! What kinda girl runs around shooting people!
GIRL: [Making a face at the Game Boy, which has made a series of sad noises.] What kind of girl dies when she falls into the water.
CLERK: That's only at the beginning.
GIRL: My friend is stronger than that... she just won a swimming meet.
CLERK: Well, she must have been wearing her Gravity Suit.

>Why do you ask? :)
Just to get more of an idea of your tastes in videogames; seems we both dig arcade classics.

I thought the same thing about Disney in KH (that's no flying undead monkey-- it's Michael Eisner!) Mickey et al. should have been on the forces of darkness team too IMHO.

I haven't got to the stage of rejecting CRPGs entirely yet (I'm still hung up on the game worlds being simple/flashy/puzzling/you-are-the-chosen-one), but I know what you mean.
