6 Things you Should Never Say to a Gamer

6. "Just go in the next room, fight that enemy! Ooh, there is a boss coming up"

Oh My GOD, shut up! Nothing worse than a backseat gamer. Let me play the fucking game!

I hate it when people tell me everything that happens, had happened, and is going to happen. 

5. "I'm a gamer" "Really? What's your score on Black Ops?"

That thing where you play mainly single-player games like Zelda, Final Fantasy, or Castlevania, and you suddenly feel like an outsider because everyone else in the world correlates gaming with competitive games like League of Legends, Call of Duty, and other competitive, online, multiplayer games.

I'm a gamer, I just play more solitary games, 

4.  Psssh, Girls don't play games!

I used to believe this as a child myself. Saying that girls obviously didn't play games, and the only reason i did was because I had 3 older brothers. But I soon learned that many gamers are in fact female. Probably not the 50% that is portrayed, but many gamers are in fact girls. Like me for instance.

3. "Oops... I broke it..."

You WHAT!? .... *takes deep breath and holds back urge to rip skin off of person who just broke your game/game system/controller*

Those dreaded words when someone breaks a game that you loved so much. You can't do anything about it, but the blame game goes on. 

2.  You're too OLD to be playing videogames.

People who say this are people who consider videogames to be some form of childrens sport, and that adults need to be doing more productive things, like working a 9-5 job, and filling out tax forms.

This goes hand in hand with the "You'll never get laid" saying, in which people believe that gamers do nothing more than sit on their butt all day and don't do anything at all with their lives, which simply isn't true for most cases. It IS possible to make a decent living off of gaming channels and writings. 

1. Oh, you're at the boss? Just pause the game and take out the trash

EVERYONE is who not a devoted gamer will not understand the issue here. You're at a boss, pausing in the middle will throw you off, and make you more likely to lose. Losing is bad. So deminishing you chance of winning by sidetracking yourself is bad. 

Most gamers have an understanding, when I am at a boss, back the fuck up.

Gamers Lose Touch with Reality?

I can see this as true, as the longer you spend in another reality, the more accustomed you get to it, and less accustomed you get to actual reality.

When I was little, I would play games fervently, even religiously, RPG games mostly.I would notice that the outside world (AKA, the trees outside my house) looked more unrealistic than Zelda, OoT did. Inquisitive as I was as a child, I guessed that the pixelated appearance and high graphics of the trees outside meant that I play too much videogames and accurately deduced that the video-game world was becoming my "true" reality.

Although, I personally don't see anything wrong with this unless it prevents you from living the life you want to have. As a gamer child, there was nothing else I desired to do. Now I write all the time about things.

But what do you think about this? Has this ever happened to you?
