Gamers who play (X) are not real gamers. There is only one true way to play (Y genre). (X) ruined (y genre) forever!

On a related note, not to take away from your blogging, I'm really weirded out that people take some certain games so seriously. Like, apparently Pokémon is serious business, with a fucking hardcore base.

Now, I enjoy the Pokémon games. It's not that they're bad, before some Nintendo or Pokémon fanboy rips into me for picking on something they love, it's the obsessive level that the competition gets taken to.

And speaking of obsession and competition....

If there is one group that takes their hobby way too seriously more than gamers, it's sports fans.
To be fair, gamers would totally riot like sports fans if they could leave their mom's basements.

But seriously, I have this one guy who fills my Facebook feed with hissyfits of the Sox win or celebrating if the Yanks win. He actually had a nervous breakdown on FB over some Sox fan celebrating at the bar her works at.

I know it's more socially acceptable to cry like a baby over a baseball game not going your way, but fuck, I've never wondered whether I should be hiding a Trekkie's shoelaces.
