[QUOTE="Patman21967, post: 2176830, member: 19260"] Damn man, I smell you from here....or wait...is that me??? It's kinda funny, because we are sorta opposite. I am really into sports, play "over 30" baseball and football, go to the pubs with my friends, try to dress "nice" when out in public etc....but I get hammered by my " cool " friends, about gaming...I usually consider the source. They are smoking weed, getting DUI's and can't keep a girlfriend. We game every Sunday night, and 2x a year, I go to a LARP. Alot of biggies in our industry attend and I have been going for 10 years now. Guess what, sometimes both "worlds" collide. My gaming friends make fun of my drinking/pool/sports buddies just as much as the reverse. Some of the 2 groups have actually become friends, socializing together on occasion,, when a cool band is playing etc.... People have no right making fun of you, for your choices, as long as you are not imposing them. But, and maybe reread your post, you also suffer by the same rule. You sound very condescending in your rant too...so I'd say it goes both ways...I will never quit gaming. I have had a relationship with a spectacular girl fall apart because of it. It's not about tring to "conform" or fit in, it about hanging out with people you are comfortable with, and get along with, and if anyone gives you a hard time, tell them to "kiss your Ass" and consider the souce, but never sell out, and don't stoop to their level, because I know alot of gamers who do... Good luck man, Pat [/QUOTE]
