[The Juggler]

I find the whole thing that gamers should be young males fat pimply masterbating nothings that giggle when they hear words like nipple and thighs.... what is that stereo typical image from.... I've never been pimply (hahaha).

You get the picture.. I am considerably older than most of you peps and were playing games back in the late 70's and have been ever since. I find it amusing that people find it weird that an older guy with a life plays games. I also play chess and drink expensive whiskey and vodka... but thats acceptable.

I have just hired a young lady on my shop floor as a general labouror... shock horror a female in my line of work is unheard of... but man she works hard so she has the job... she was freaked when she over heard me talking to some of the lads about GTA... she thought it cool that her boss was a gamer.

My seven year old daughter is now an avid gamer and her eleven year old brother is too. But not in a bad way. Xbox, playstations, lynx, ds lites etc are just another plaything for them... another means of entertainment. My son loves to read and I have encouraged that big time but he also loves to play his Dad on the xbox... I think that is way cool. An entertainment medium that can join all age group.... obviously the wii is doing lots in this area but we all need to have an open mind about gaming and the age levels involved... including girlies that rock on Gears etc.

Anyway I ramble... if you fit into the stereo typical gamer geek at the beginning then good for you.. but if your like me considered unusual to be considered a gamer then more power to you.
