A septuagenarian gentleman approaches me smiling and waving the box for a FIFA game a few years ago. "Good morning! My son bought this game on offer at 4 and 99. It 's a game of football. "
Yes, good morning, please. What's happening?
" It does not work properly, I came to change it! "
-Um ... this game is not working properly, and what does it do?
"E How should I know? hehehehe! They told me to come here and change it! "
-Ah. Usually the problems are caused by the computer, not the game, that is ...
" No, no, the computer works fine. And 'this game of football does not properly "
-Let's try it, please. Give me the little box that I try these on a computer.
" But no! Do not bother! Just me change it with an equal! "
-Oh! But it does not work like that! I mean, let me play the game and then define what to do!
" Ma .. if I say that is not working, not working! The customer is always right, or not? "
" Yes, um ... forgive me. Give me the game lo provo. Devo fare così, non si cambiano automaticamente i giochi aperti... ma non si preoccupi, in 5 minuti risolviamo.
"Boh, me lo auguro... il cliente aveva sempre ragione, dicevano. Oggi, invece, ha ragione il venditore, boh... Se le dico che non funziona bene, se sono venuto fino a qui... mi deve credere! Ma faccia lei, faccia, non insisto..."
-Allora... ecco qui. Inseriamo il cd, installazione, ok ok e ok, consenti, ok, inserisci il codice, eccolo, ok, e vai... l'installazione sembra procedere correttamente. Quale problema presenta sul pc di suo figlio?
"Non lo so... funziona metà sì e metà no."
-Senta... Qui si è installato senza errori, e everything seems to work! Tournament, league, practice ... nothing is missing. Indeed yes! You can not choose my team, the best of Italy! Damn EaSports ... hehehe no here it is ... Apart from jokes ... everything works fine.
"But how? Can try?
-More than this? And what do I do? We do a lot of evidence? Please! Here. Here are the teams ... the mesh, the stadium. Ok. Done. Kick-off. You play. I also have to convince her goals? hehehe because I'm not able too!
"Oh I see ... I see. ... What that situation ... I'm ashamed ... that put the disc is just what I had given her, right?"
-Do not do this: is normal, as I said, that the problem is often on the computer. Certainly not in the game unless there is the DVD damaged or broken, and it is not the case.
"And I wanted to be right. Other than the customer is always right! But some 'reason I have it because my son does not work and has tried everything. And then she did not change anything ... "Hehehehe
-but no! Not change the game because it works well. Instead, the boy is a fixed computer or a laptop?
"A laptop, such as you have here."
-Excellent. So tell your boyfriend to come here with the laptop, so let's try this game with him directly and see what's wrong. (Which I have to do that I have to do!)
"I'm telling you, hopefully good while ... Thanks, and excuse me if I insisted. We'll see!"
-bye! You take away the game, please.
back together the next day, the nice gentleman and his boy has about 30 years and it seems a little less funny, because who does not smile or speak or look at me in the face, boh ... say a boy distracted.
He stuck the laptop in hand with a game controller dangling, and his father convinces him with real effort to explain the problem with this game Fifa blessed! After a few timid uncertainty
the cheerful young man, finally, he explains in his own words so precise.
"So ... does not work. "
-Er ... exactly what does not work? Installs?
" Yes "
-Ok, then what?
" and then you can not play. "
non-words start?
"No, you start. But do not enter the players on the field and the game begins. "
-Uh? Here works. I think it's something on your computer. Let's look, shall we?
" Yes, vah ... I turn it on? "
-Oh, um ... I would say yes, better!
The handset is light, not too slowly, until you get to windows. Seeking the desktop icon and FIFA can not find it.
- Look, I installed it ... but did you say?
"No, was installed, I did some testing, now I uninstalled it. "
Oh ok, fine. Bravo. So let's start, here give me the cd ...
insert the CD, apart from the bootstrapper, I says "install" or "exit". "accepted" the terms of use, usual stuff, then asks me the code.
-code, all right?
"Yes, you must enter the letters that are there on back. Bales that break, right? "
-Well, it's normal, yes ... enter this figure ... ok ... it seems alright ... Installing ...
The boy immediately takes in hand the game controller, it seems a bit 'too soon hehehe will be the enthusiasm to play ... "Then
dicevi che il problema si presenta quando scegli le squadre?
"Prima, prima. Non appaiono."
-Non appaiono... cosa? Fammi capire.
"Allora, appare il campo di calcio, e poi non entrano i giocatori in campo, non fa niente."
-Ma c'è qualche... tasto da premere, un menu, boh? Si blocca tutto o continua a funzionare? La musica, per esemp...
"Aspetta un attimo e vedi anche tu. Proprio adesso, guarda bene."
Sullo schermo appare un campo di calcio, verde, con la scritta FIFA e in basso una barra con la percentuale di installazione da 0 a 100 %. Inizia a scrivere i files.
Il ragazzo preme freneticamente i tasti del controller, e dice:
"You see? Where are the players? See how it crashes? What the fuck? Not enter the field!"
-Ma ... but ... you are still installing! E '5% see?
"Where the hell are the players? And the menu does not work at all ..."
and hold the power button until it shut the pc!
-What are you doing?? You should not have shut it down! It was being installed!
"It 's already installed the cd, you have it installed, I wanted to try again."
-Si was being installed! It took a few more minutes! Fuck!
"But how? Wait till I switch it on again and uninstall it out."
-Christ! You have to wait for it install the game before you play! That was the problem? Eh?
"Yes, you saw ... you see the football field and that's it. I tried to press anything but work. Did you see."
-My God ... in order to play you have to install the game! And after you play!
"But it is obvious that the game is installed! How did you start if you install it?"
on again the PC and immediately remove the CD. Me back in my hand.
"Here, uninstalled. Now let me see you then." But what
-uninstalled! Install does NOT mean put in the cd! It does NOT mean uninstall remove it! I understand you correctly? And 'that's the problem?
"Well ... but install does not mean put in the cd? "
-No! means to complete a procedure that copies a number of things inside the computer, and then allows you to play ...
" And to put the numbers each time? The code? "
-What you put only once, just when you install it!
" No, look at that asks you every time you install. In fact I was tired of trying because every time you ask. "
-Watch ... trust me, eh, you need to install the game calmly, and then you can start using it! Even without cd.
" No, I know by an error if you remove the CD while playing and everything stops. "
-Um ... yeah, sure ... bah! you understand anyway? Installation Is not the gesture of putting the CD into the computer. It 's a procedure that you do when ...
"But it's not like the playstation?"
No, really. It's not like the playstation. It 's a computer.
"But in the install cd playstation and games, and when you do not play out the uninstall and install another."
-Um ... but in fact that's a console. This is a computer ...
"Look, do not tell me these cows. I have friends that play with the computer. And as they do, eh? They install the game and play now."
-Um ... do you install the game properly? And then you explain?
"No, I do not care so much ... it was just because costava poco, ma ce l'ho anche con la playstation questo Fifa."
-Ah, ehm... già... e allora che si fa?
"Ci sono giochi di strategia, che non ci sono sulla playstation, vero?"
-Come no? C'è questo, e questo, e questo. Poi questo in offerta, e questo. Questo meraviglioso! E questo famosissimo. Poi quello a 19 e 99 riedizione completa... ce n'è di scelta per il pc.
"Uhm... allora prendo questo con l'auto da corsa e questo qui dei carri armati."
-Si, ehm... non sono di strategia quelli, cioè...
"E allora li installo, aspetto, seguo fino alla fine e poi gioco, giusto?"
-Ti faccio vedere se vuoi.
"No no, I understand, thank you. I see. Let's go."
The father opens his arms, opens her eyes and looks at me as if to say "help."
-Er ... Come on, I will install the games, do you want?
"No, no, thank you ... I understand, when you uninstall uninstall them first ... and then shut down the PC, not before."
-Yeah, not before ... oh God ... a moment later, here ...
"Thank you very much, so sorry, really, thanks again and goodbye!" smiling farewell to her father, without a word while the child walks away with the laptop, the controller and games under his arm.
Well, what can we say? It 'a better playstation, really! But do not uninstall the game while playing otherwise it blocks everything!
generation phenomena ...
