 * At my local game shop. Don't really need to go there but my friend is there.
 * Notice a family come in, young lad wearing Sonic and Shadow shirt.
 * Over hear the kid really wanting Sonic games.
 * I tell my friend that kid has good taste.
 * The family is confused what this is. I don't work for my local game shop but since I am a Sonic boffin and wanted to be helpful I decided to go over and help them. Introduced myself as an older Sonic fan and told them what it was and it indeed had Sonic games. *The kid wanted it but his family said he already had those games.
 * I joked when he gets to my age he will have the around 5 of the same classics in one way or another.
 * The kid noticed the Dreamcast Collection. He really wanted it.
 * I told him it does indeed have Sonic Adventure and as said fan reccomended to them, saying it was one of Sonic's major games in 3D and for the Dreamcast.
 * The discussion lead onto Sonic Jam, the father had no idea what a Sega Saturn was or the fact Sega made consoles. (Think I might have accidentally made him feel a bit silly now that I think about it. But I always found it common knowledge myself.) I don't work at the store. I'm friends with the owner though who knows I am a big Sonic fan as anyone, but he was busy and didn't tell me to leave the family alone or anything.
 * There were other Sonic games and I gave my honest oppinions on them, such as Sonic All Star Racing Transformed being a racing game with various twists and didn't reccomend Sonic Free Riders to them.
 * The family thanked me for my help as they purchased the Dreamcast Collection.


 * All in all, makes me happy for a kid of his age to take interest in Sonic the Hedgehog. Because he see's Sonic just how me and I bet most of us seen Sonic when we was his age and not for all the bad reviews, reputation and fancrap of Sonic thats been stirring around the internet.

So, how was your day?
