Honestly, was it wrong of me to do this?
I work at GameStop and today a Latino woman and her son came in. The son (who looked like he was around 13 or 14 years old) spoke English fine but the woman had very broken English. What I could make out from her is that she wanted to pre-order Halo Reach for her son. I was very concerned because she might not realize what kind of violence and language she would be exposing her son to so I had my other GameStop employee (his name is Ricardo, speaks Spanish and English) warn her about the game's violence in Spanish and she was able to understand and then scolded her son for trying to get such a game. Did I do the right thing?

The little boy probably didn't know what he was trying to buy anyway. And besides, do we really need anymore 12 year olds playing Halo? But who knows, maybe the mother felt embarrased when she realized that the game is not necessarily for kids and she overreacted. The whole situation is awkward, but kids are tough he'll get over it in no time... that or he will become emo and start cutting himself. Either way it's not your problem anymore :D[/quote] wow are you serious?,if the kid was even 10 years old he still would've known what halo was,you're underestimating what kids know about these days,Ive been playing halo since i was 4 (and i fell in love btw),the OP did in fact do his job but he crushed the kids dream,i would probably put you in my "deaths in April 06 2024" list,dont ask.everyone in CWSOTD has one.dont ask again...Cause you probably dont know what that is,i should stop...lol JK well back on Topic:As for the people who are say "THATS ONE LESS ANNOYING KID IN HALO" should just shut up,You might not have noticed but there is VERY large amount of underage mature gamers on halo,The only difference is we are quiet and unnoticed,but immature kids are the idiots that are always screaming in the mic,Making themselves stand out more,And creates a stereotype,because now I can be titled as a squeaker just for not being born in 1990 so please stop being lazy and just use the Great O'Mighty mute feature,Its there for a reason [Edited on 09.09.2010 6:13 PM PDT]
