just wish most of my College gaming friends would talk about more than just FPS. I love JRPG’s and a few find it weird cause I don’t play SKYRIM.
So the Fuck what. I don’t play Besthesda or should I say BUGTHESDA’s games I don’t like playing games with Game breaking bugs. I’m talking to you NEW VEGAS.

I did that too, now Kids today have ipads, 3DS, and play COD. they only know the NEW stuff of Video Games. Not what we 90′s kids grew up on.

This is a fair enough point. What I can take from this article, though, is that it also might get across the message to those that play games and don’t go out that it’s okay to do that. A sort of “You’re not alone” kind of thing, that might reassure those that prefer to stay in and play games, when others, including themselves, might question it. Whether that was one of the intended messages with this article, I don’t know, but it might be one that people can take from it.

I don’t really get the point of this? I mean this could be about any hobby.
“While others go out on Friday, my crew and I build the meanest Lincoln Log homes! And they can’t understand because it’s special and a hobby and therefore not everyone has it but so I want to prompt it anyway!”

I mean, I get it, but this is a gaming website so everyone here, I assume, does play videogames and so knows why it’s enjoyable. And yet, saying you don’t go out or whatever— I mean, alright, but that’s you. For one, I do like to go out on my nights off work to get slammed and hopefully corral a girl, but does that mean I’m now no longer in the club of gaming, or not “hardcore” enough?

Just seems like a “Power to your hobby!” post— which is unnessecary because not only is Gematsu a website for gamers anyway, it’s also an import gaming site— so you know that the people visiting here are pretty much rooted as deep as it gets in gaming.

I remember Digimon, with the little Digivices and we’d fight each other by shaking that thing madly XD

Just like my dad, who thinks video games are for children and therefore, don’t understand how could even adults like playing them.

Another example is western thinking about cartoon and cgi movies, they automatically think they are for kids and make them look childish (Pixar and Dreamworks) while Japan keep producing mature animes and cgi movies.

I still remember the days when we would all just play pokemon together in the same room. Yelling what pokemon we found, trading, battling and all that. Great times.

Great article… Gaming brought us all together to chat and enjoy what we like doing… What better way to enjoy than with friends and buddies?

Spot on, Adam. Great read, as always. “People put the milk in before the tea bag.” I’ve always used hot water myself!

Videogames have the power to bring us together!
It’s a great medium, but it’s sad that there is still a social stigma attached to it thanks to some old geezers.
