These are two terms that annoy me to shit.

1. "Video games" used to actually be a term, that divided itself between games played on a TV (New thing back then) and actual real-life games, like board games or sports. Now, that term is redundant and obsolete, since everyone who actually plays them just calls them "games." Seriously, who says "video game" anymore, other than the media and old people?

2. "Gamer" makes me want to throw things. It sounds like something the news media would say, like "VIDEO GAMES ARE NOW SUCH A POP-CULTURE PHENOMENON THAT GROUPS OF "GAMERS" NOW PLAY VIDJAGAEMZ ONLINE IN "GAMER GROUPS." It's just.....ugh. It's comparable to calling someone who dresses up like an animal a furry, like he/she isn't part of humanity and is just part of a cult or something.

Games are part of our daily lives, when it used to be just a thing for kids to do on a saturday. Everyone of all ages plays games now, so there's no need for these terms and they should've never been used in the first place.

Just calm down, and remember: They're of no concern to you, or your lifestyle. If they choose to lump us all together, that's their idiocy showing. If they prefer to say, as you put it, "VIDJAGEAMZ" over games they are probably trying to narrow the thought process of the morons watching/ listening.

Everybody but the OP can go to hell.

Whenever somebody, especially kids my age, figures out I like any video games that aren't Call of Duty or Guitar Hero/Rockband, they treat me as if I should be embarrassed about it.

"So, you play Mario?" (they say, ready to burst out laughing.)
"Uh, yeah?"
"lol"
"..."

Video games are a wonderful thing. How is this past-time laughable?

This is why thirteen year olds should be limited to board games and paper-based games until they're sixteen.

Swallow your sugar pills, inject your saline, breath in some hydroxide mist and have a nice day.

I agree with this guy. Why the hell should anybody laugh for the reason that you play video games that you like? I mean, what? Just because Mario doesn't carry a gun or play guitar, does that makes it a bad game?

1. I still say video games. They're games played off of a video monitor (ie. television), so it makes sense.

2. Ok, put the kitchen sink down, son. You don't see people who do work bitch about being called "workers", or people who cheat losing their shit for being called "teachers".

This is basically just your problem, but don't worry, son. It's just puberty. Jusr go to bed and come back to us after your balls have dropped, then we can talk.

Because the idea of jobs isn't laughable to society. In fact, in this day and age, not having a job is a death wish.

or people who cheat losing their shit for being called "teachers".

You must have meant "teach" not "cheat".

This is basically just your problem,

No, actually a lot of us were pissed off about this several months ago in another thread. Just wait until those lasting users log in again.

but don't worry, son. It's just puberty. Jusr go to bed and come back to us after your balls have dropped, then we can talk.

I think you confused the 07 in his Sign-up date with 09. You elitist cunt.

Actually, it usually does. There's a reason why 14-year olds can't vote.

Hell, they should raise the limit to 25 years, just to get rid of a couple more uninformed liberal cunts.

Though I don't agree, I can see where you're coming from. At the very least, they should raise the age limit that you can access the internet to 18, so we won't have so many stupid kids fucking things up...

It's funny, I assumed you were 16. I thought so because the average user age here is roughly 16. And the average user does have bad days where they make an ass of themselves. Way to go.

I was talking about how you had no way of knowing his age. Assuming he's 13 and using that against him? A pathetic cheap shot.

Does that make me any different? No. The only difference between my brain and yours is that my younger mind takes slightly longer to comprehend and learn. This does not change how efficiently I can kick your ass with words.

Now go to your room.

I love all games to be honest, from Mario to GTA, I love 'em all. I hate people who think you have to like just one kind. 'Specially the mmofags or shooterjunkies. I like both, especially shooters, but calm the fuck down, they're just games.

You know, now that I think about it I'm not sure if I usually say "video games" or just "games". I think I just say the title of the game I want to play. But I don't really know. I'm gonna have to pay more attention to what I say...
