While people who don't game may think we're sex-starved geeks, we can easily fall into the trap of thinking we're smarter than they are and that makes us better.<br /><br />That's true, of course...<br /><br />I kid.Misneachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13692303661137425205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250223864660193860.post-8110937484830973412009-07-29T09:16:27.273-05:002009-07-29T09:16:27.273-05:00Some people just have trouble keeping things in pe...Some people just have trouble keeping things in perspective...<br /><br />http://zaphindonwow.blogspot.com/2009/06/keeping-it-all-in-perspective.html<br /><br />Everyone wants to believe that what they do is superior to what others do.

It's always comforting to know there are folks out there with the same feelings as me with regard to a particular topic.<br /><br />Also, Sierro made an excellent point. We're all real-life people sitting at a computer playing the game. Hobbies count as RL activities. Well said.Misneachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13692303661137425205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250223864660193860.post-75386047693511271532009-07-29T04:49:45.304-05:002009-07-29T04:49:45.304-05:00I agree completely.

One thing I've never understood (although I do it myself all the time!) is when people say "IRL".<br />"IRL I am a hedge fund manager", "Oh I wouldn't call you that IRL but this is WoW" etc. Perhaps on a RP server that would make more sense but in general aren't we all "real life" people behind the avatars? Do people playing tennis not consider that real life? Is "real" life anything that isn't fun?Sierrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16489800457804431597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250223864660193860.post-23070575096914736332009-07-29T04:10:04.264-05:002009-07-29T04:10:04.264-05:00/cheer

I do.../cheer<br /><br />And we salute you, Mis! Great post.<br /><br />I don't know if you were following the Sin to Win fiasco but it seems to me that as long as the games industry keeps treating gamers like they're sex-starved morons living in their parents basement, gamers are never going to be recognised for the diverse and perfectly normal group of people there are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250223864660193860.post-24959532476388489182009-07-28T15:14:55.797-05:002009-07-28T15:14:55.797-05:00From one gamer to another, right back at ya!
