I really don't like how people make a big deal out of this. So what if I'm a girl who plays video games? There are plenty of girls I know who play RPG, MMO's, and other types of online video games. And who said video games were just for guys in the first place???

This whole "gamer" labeling concept is fairly new and in my opinion, stupid. I grew up with the evolution of video game technology from Atari-present and nobody back in the day called themselves "gamers." We didn't define who we were by the video games we played. There were other aspects to life far more important. Video games were just like a bookmark, they weren't the entire novel or even a whole chapter. It's just industry driven marketing and all the self titled "gamers" are falling right in line. Now I see all kinds of comments calling people out for not being a true gamer or just a casual gamer. It's ridiculous. Geezus look how old I am..Lecturing children about how things were better back in the old days. Well I should hit the store to get some Metamucil and nice wool lap blanket for my rocking chair. Life is officially over. Better TiVo Murder She Wrote.
