Our generation grew up on video games, and the generations after us are even MORE surrounded by techonogy and games. Sure there is always someone out there, be it male or female, who doesnt play, or lacks interest in it...but i dont think anyone goes 'ew gross' when someone mentions they play games.

#3: With very, very few exceptions, video game plots are stuck at this level.

Ummm...Yeah. So you listed a few exceptions. They already acknowledged not all games are B movie plots, but hey, ignore that, call it a crock of shit, whatever.

#5: I think you missed the mark entirely. Video games are booming business right now, but just because "everybody does it" doesn't mean that there's no stigma carried along with it. It's not that gamers are a minority, or that the world is technophobic. When they mention the study that 2/3 of gamers are women, that should be an indicator that they're nto saying it's true that all gamers are angry loser virgins.
