“Available now on Xbox Live Marketplace for 80 MS Points ( US$1), a new game that promisses to teach you how to chat with the ladies: Don’t Be Nervous Talking 2 Girls. It’s developed by Silver Dollar Games, a company that focus on making visual novels and similar games.
With the tagline “Are you nervous talking to girls? All you need is practice”, the game plays like a visual novel where you need to keep up a pleasant conversation with a female. Should you creep out the woman, she responds with threats, like calling the police on you. Maybe there’s a sequel in which you need to talk your way out of jail.
I don’t think anyone will want to play this in that huge television in the living room.”

Achievement Unlocked!
Got to the 2nd date without earning a Restraining Order
For 80 points I can see myself buying this for a laugh and playing it with the gf.
Hahaha omg.. now this is funny.
that is really sad.
we shall all be programmed robots.
Some poor bastards need all the help they can get!
Fantastic,I know a few folk who’ll be buying this
@Waq:
“Some poor bastards need all the help they can get!”
Yes, yes I do.
That is rather sad.
You can’t make a game that teaches someone to talk to girls/women because all girls/women are entirely different people and not a monolithic group with the same tastes/personality/likes/preferences/etc.
It’s not like programming a computer where you input a certain set of code, push the right buttons and get the result. What might work well in conversation with one person might totally bomb when talking to someone else.
Pushing buttons does not automatically mean you will receive bacon.
The best advice to someone thinking of purchasing this would be “Oh for fuck’s sake – women aren’t an alien species you need to learn to communicate with. Get over the vagina thing and just talk to them.”
LOL Oh dear, whatever next……

Damn, I was born too soon. How my life may have been different I can only wonder, girls, girls, girls what a concept.
Wouldn’t this be better as an iPhone app? At least then you could call them without having to meet them face to face. Follow up apps could be “How not to be afraid of the phone” and “How to date using email and twitter” and finally “How to kiss on the first date – a virtual simulation” and “Sex for Dummies with Dummies”.
Lol, I guess if they fail, the girl will be wearing these undies – http://bit.ly/6XzVRH
..& if they succeed, she’ll be wearing these – http://bit.ly/7j4vyK
Well at least they could be seen as finding a way to target the basement dweller of moms house and help them with some perfectly good educational software. But the XBox isn’t as useful for such things, and an Iphone would be better for advanced techniques (infact thats exactly what a lot of the seduction community does they use their iphone to put cheat sheets on as they work on new material) but I guess if you live in moms basement the iphone isn’t as much of a necessity me thinks.
“I don’t think anyone will want to play this in that huge television in the living room.”
That’s where you’re wrong. I think this could be a better party game than Rock Band!
The sequel can be jail or sex…
- or even jailsex? – Phillis
Honestly guys, we’re really not that bad. some of us are really just as nerdy as you are…
That is hilarious- what’s next, a game involving virtual personal hygiene?!
Oh, sad boys .. they think they have it all together after having finished this ‘course’ … and then they run into the real bitches…
Lots would like to play for a few minutes just to see what it does, give it a good and proper workout .. that chick ..
Ermm, not that i need it but …where is the womens version of this?
HA! Fat chance!
@JenniferRuth I am sure Derren could speak to the ladies and get a similar result every time. Different or notall humans have similar drives motivations and desires. It is learning to read that is key. But I doubt this game can teach that.
Maybe they could do one that teaches kids how to respect people and their belongings. Or a call centre version see how long you can keep someone on the phone for!!
Hang on… call the police?
So it’s illegal to creep someone out now, is it?
Step 1. stop looking to the computer for answers about how to talk to humans, leave your bedroom and find some real people to practice on.
Step 2. elevate your gaze so you’re not talking to her cleavage.
That’s got to be worth £20 of anyone’s money already. (Wish I’d thought of it!).
Sounds like something Graham Linehan could use in the next series of “The IT Crowd”
