Next week - Nick Vs "Game" & "EB" staff: (transcript from an actual conversation, in December) Nick: Do you have any idea when the Color Gameboy version of Zelda will be out? Game: Uh, you mean Zelda 64, right? Nick: No no, the updated version of the Gameboy version, for the Color Gameboy. Game: I haven't heard about that. Are you sure you're not confused? Nick: Well, I'm pretty sure there's one due out really soon. I've seen pictures of it on the internet [and played it at ECTS, but I couldn't be arsed to mention that]. Game: Oh, well, that'll be it - you can't trust anything on the internet [what, not even the Official Nintendo Homepage?]. We know all about the release dates here, so you must be mistaken. Nick: Oh. Okay. [being polite, leaves silently] No wonder people don't know what to buy with people like that working in the stores. There's also an import shop called "Games Master" in Edinburgh and the people there don't have a clue either. Right, I feel better now.
