I stopped enjoying Madden when they stopped trying:

so it's not a good year for Star Wars then

You're the exception. Back before gaming was easily accessible to women, before social gaming on facebook and mobile gaming on your iPhone, there were a lot less girls who even accepted gaming as a hobby. If you were a guy who was into that kind of thing, that put you on a lower level than someone who was more into…

don't bother with this guy, his ego is too far up his ass. So, in other words you're telling us that you're better than everyone because you're a doormat?

holy crap, shut the **** up already. So self righteous...my gosh not everything is so black and white. You think you're so open minded with your little indignation when in fact you're not realizing that circumstances vary from person to person.

The only option is to run. Run and hide. Right now you are automatically assumed to be a part of the problem because you were cursed by being born with dangly bits betwixt your legs. You are the 'partriarchy', you are the oppressor, you are the aggressor, you are the sinner, you are the pervert, you are dehumanized…

In all fairness, it would have been a bit hard to hear the lyrics over everyone in the video talking about how geek they are.

Its perspective though isn't it? If it doesn't apply to you, why does it bug you? There are probably double the number of memes out there referring to nerd guys being 1.) Fat 2.) living in their parents basements 3.) Having no girlfriend, sex life, dating life, social life 4.) are losers.

That's funny - I seem to remember being a female gamer long before 2006-2007 :/ I'm not sure why whoever made the picture seems to think that 'women' are all some sort of collective hive-mind, though. Seems like someone had a few insecurities to work out, yet.

So treat them like they're nothing special, got it.

I made friends with some of the biggest assholes on the face of the planet who would push me around, steal my shit, and verbally harass me every single day.

Funny thing was, I was into sports as well. But people knew that I spent most of my free time gaming or reading with a couple friends who games or read (who were also basically outcasted). I mean, I've even played hockey for about forever, which I also took an enormous amount of shit for because I wasn't playing…

That is quite possibly the most awesome and truthful picture I have ever seen in my life.

If by excuses you mean being a relatively nice, extroverted guy to just about anyone I knew who was slowly shamed into being a confused and extremely introverted individual simply for liking video games and science fiction books/movies at a time when if you didn't watch friends and Dawson's Creek you were social…

As a guy who was shit on by most girls at my schools during my teenage years for liking video games, there is a legitimate dose of truth in that image.

Were things cooler in the 80s?

No, you're not. "I'm original by not being original!" "I'm different and that makes me cool, unless you call me different in which case I'm not different and you're a bad person!"

Yeah do not even get me started on Scifi channel changing their name to Syfy.

Am I the only one who is tired of the whole 'hold a piece of paper with words written on it instead of speaking like a normal human being' fad?
