Wii Want Sex

If the one that lives across the hall from me is an example, then yes.

Gamers are like the rest of us...

I used to have a snobby attitude about them until, ahem WOW, I actually met some. And realized another sneaky prejudice I hadn't really acknowledged to myself had gotten shattered. They are just as (potentially) interesting, intelligent, funny, and swanky as anyone, but their thang is games...not Disney, not Star Wars, not Harry Potter books, not bacon...well you get the idea.

My attitude these days is this: never hate on another geekdom.

Word.

And the Wii version would come with a mute button. That could be a real plus.

If I came across as a hater, I apologize, that was not my intent. I know plenty of gamers, my brothers are gamers, I totally dig gaming culture, etc. My jokes about gamers come from a fond place. You do know that my husband was a D&D guy?

Ditto that. I have way too much of a fondness for RPG's and a slew of gaming friends.

No worries! My post wasn't really directed at any one person -- more at the direction I was afraid the thread was going. Plus, I'm sure I'm hypersensitive as I've been geekbashed pretty hard in public in my life -- not HERE of course.

I didn't know all that stuff about the family/hubby, though: coolness!
