Talk about the games they’re into. “Your Call of Duty shirt is awesome. How long have you been playing?” “World of Warcraft is probably my favorite. How about you?” Ask how they got into gaming. “When did you start gaming? For me it was just the classic Mario Kart stage, and it’s kind of gone from there…” “What was the first game you were really into?” See what groups they’re a part of and ask to join. “I’ve been looking to join a League of Legends group, do you know of any?” “I’m looking for people to play with on Call of Duty, do you know of any groups? Or we could get a couple people together and start one.” Get tips on hardware or new game recommendations. “I’ve been into the same games for a while, do you have any recommendations so I can switch it up?” “What rig do you play on? I really need an upgrade.”
