12 Embarrassing Things All Gamers Do But Would Never Admit

For those outside of gaming, those poor souls who look down on it with scorn, hate and indifference, there's nothing really gaming can do right. It's a bed of violence that invades our thoughts, crushes our social lives, rots our brains and turns us all into drooling, mindless simpletons. Of course, these people don't realise the positive effects gaming can have. It encourages teamwork, creative thinking, is thought-provoking, exciting, keeps the brain active and is a bigger grossing industry than Hollywood. We all know that - we're gamers through to the core, and we're united around our awesome gaming machines. Even though we know there's plenty of greatness out there about our games that channels our spirit and makes us awesome, there's several things that you should never, ever admit that you do to anyone who's a non-gamer. Doing so is likely to earn you a disapproving look if you're lucky; if you're unlucky, you're more than likely to receive a massive dollop of anger, be called stupid and possibly have something thrown at you. Believe me, I know. My girlfriend doesn't like the whole gaming thing. She's tried to play Sonic. She's tried Mario. She's crashed into walls on GTA and got annoyed. She's then dismissed it completely and every time its mentioned, she goes to a far away place inside her mind. Let's just hope she never reads this eh? This isn't just an article my friends - this is a life guide that you should follow for the foreseeable future. Click on, fellow gaming brethren.
