I might be working at a video game store that specializes In vintage/older gaming systems, however they sell, and buy recent games/systems. Now I need some help from gamers. I don't play as much as I used to, so I don't want to come across as unqualified at my interview.
So shroomery gamers, tell me what are some thing ever gamer should know?

Play every video game ever made between now and when you start and you'll be up to par with how the staff at my local game store make me feel.

Its not that hard to sell games gamers buy games so whoever goes in there generally knows what they want. other than that maybe just get a subscription to game informer. its a magazine you get once a month and it will give you all the info on games from past present and future along with game systems

Okay well I was actually thinking of playing all the most popular games.
A good list would be nice
I was a huge fan of the halo series, and any N64 game. So can cross that off. Also have played all the call of duties but much prefer the battlefield franchise.

Yeah I'd focus on the classic stuff too. Check out lists online like "Best 25 SNES games of all time" and so on, and try stuff out on emulators that sounds cool.

I work at a store just like that, it's awesome. You should know systems, how to work them, what the controllers look like, rare/good games for each, and be able to talk about why you would be good at the retail aspect of the job as well as your passion for gaming.

Not too bad but I'm directing my energy to other bullshit stuff instead at the moment. It was making me second guess my driving even days after smoking. I got in a minor crash a while back and now I'm always stressing about it when I drive. I had not smoked that day either but I had been in the couple of days before it. I'm thinking I'll worry about it less without that permafog to complicate things.
