Re: Gamers: Are we really that bad?

Humm try mentioning that you are into gaming when you are in your 50's. I noticed in one of the fanguard write ups someones "dad" turned up but was not an embassasment. Even the need to mention him speaks volumes. My kids are not embarrased that I play as I taught them all they know about computers and introduced them to MMORPG's.

As to bikers its the exact opposite. I remember UK's Mods and Rockers days (Rockers being bikers) Pitched battles and lots of blood and towns wrecked.

Nowdays those same bikers ride Harleys, own companies and have families. They still take to the streets in studded black leather and goggles but now they get waved at rather than phone calls to the cops. They are admired whereas I am deemed to be an oddity.
