Why redefine it as a group or a sport, when it is simply, &quot;I like to play video games&quot;?<br />If we&#39;re going to add a label to a hobby (admittedly an addictive one), why not call me a &quot;Capitalist Promoter every time I get my subscription delivery of The Financial Post?<br />No disrespect, tongue only incidentally in cheek and only partly cynical, but I really do want to know.<br />Thanks.<br /><br />Gottsta' Knowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12665546728142116835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-61227063756189827222009-03-22T12:05:00.000-07:002009-03-22T12:05:00.000-07:00The sad part is the people in the powerful positions are the ones stereotyping gaming and gamers alike. I wanna see people like you holding influential positions, maybe we can wake the world up. It's ignorance that drives this country man, and many don't even wanna wake up from it.....Nepheraelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00380934477136994758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-9923650264406212982008-10-03T11:23:00.000-07:002008-10-03T11:23:00.000-07:00I don't know about any of you chumps, but I'm only 24, I live in an apartment (no basement), and not a virgin.<BR/><BR/>They've got me on fat and loser though. I'm working on getting rid of the former though, and I'm comfortable with my standing as the latter. I'd rather be a loser who's true to myself than a winner at something I'm not.Bufumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17469148587840239610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-83251148680703589282008-10-02T18:00:00.000-07:002008-10-02T18:00:00.000-07:00Everyone knows gamers are losers.<BR/><BR/>We just rule the world.<BR/><BR/>Yep.

Every once in a while ill tell my friends im just going to chill at home, and then for a week i hear shit about how gaming is bad and you should come out and hang with us. It pisses me off, sometimes they do retarded boring things and i dont want to go.<BR/><BR/>Or I made plans on a game, like a raid or such(I hate the "just pause it" fucking choke a bitch)that i "could" break, but gaming relieves my stress.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes games are more important than spending a few hours watching TV at a friends house.<BR/><BR/>I have a few friends who are always doing something outside. They think that staying inside for a couple days a week is a sin(Its a nice day crap) and they expect you to want to go play a sport you dont like instead of playing a game that you do like, when none of them will pick up your game.<BR/><BR/>rant overAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11651212486023067087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-25205856916685747832008-10-02T06:19:00.000-07:002008-10-02T06:19:00.000-07:00[GM]Dave, man you are so made of win, I enjoyed so much this post. thanx, keep up the good work.Kenagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11113440385196230220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-7226008750468778812008-10-02T06:14:00.000-07:002008-10-02T06:14:00.000-07:00lol, way to go [GM]Dave.
