My friend just walked in on me about to make a post on GS. Before, I used to be embarrassed and close GS tabs when my friends came in for fear of looking like a geek, but after realizing I only really go to OT, it isn't really something to be ashamed about. I just like reading random things said by the smart people in OT. What do you do when someone you know walks in on you posting on Gamespot?

When my friends go on my labtop I usually have a gamespot tab open. They've seen it but i doubt they know what it is anyway or even care. Neither do I.

I usually show it off at school and then people can ask me video game stuff. :P My cousins thought it was something like MySpace so I just let them keep thinking that.

I turn off my laptop when people come in when I'm posting here; I'm too nervous to let them know about my private posting life on Gamespot.

I'm not embarrassed by posting, but I'm paranoid that people who walk in will start reading over my shoulder.

Gamespot is normally the tab I switch to when someone suddenly walks in on me.

Whats the difference if someone walked in on you posting on GS as opposed, to say, tagging people you know on Facebook? Is it more acceptable because FB is more popular or because its real life friends you're interacting with? I mean.... I really couldn't care less if a friend saw me posting here. It's all the internet to me. I'd only be embarassed if I was walked in watching porn or something, and even still some of my friends wouldn't care.

There are worst things you could be caught looking at than GS. Like (insert weird fetish porn here), for example. Sometimes I'm in the middle of posting on GS when my wife does "things" to me which distract me for awhile.

I don't see any reason to be ashamed. My girlfriend has seen the tab and considered registering. If she doesn't care, I don't care.

I have multiple tabs up in case someone walks in... though one of my friends saw my posting history page once. Not sure if it clicked in his mind or not that I was posting on a game website. I hope not lol, he did look away after only about a second because I immediately said something to distract him. Could've been worse though, there are other things I could be on that would be a lot more embarrassing.

Since I genuinely don't care what other people think of me, it does not embarrass me at all. I do what Ienjoy and if someone does not like it or thinks it's nerdy, then good for them. I couldn't care less.

I just hate backseat surfers, I swear I can be doing homework but if someone comes by me I automatically just minimize the browser until they leave I don't like people bothering me while I'm on my PC.

I don't care what people think of my tastes or interests in music, movies, games, or anything in general. I figure there's always a way to nitpick, and I can easily tear apart their interests if they dare challenge mine in a hostile way; now I don't know that, but it seems logical, and such arrogance helps me remain confident enough to really not care what people think :P

If someone wants to make fun of my interest in posting on a gaming website, then... So be it, I'll challenge them on it if they persist on bothering me about it.

Change the tab to facebook that way my parents don't ask me who I'm talking to.

Well , it doesn't really bother me - nor them actually.
I mean , your just posting on a gaming forum so what's so geekish about that?

If talking to people of that same interest is the equivalant of beeing a geek - 90% of humanity would be filled with geeks.

Nothing. I don't like people reading what I'm writing, but I don't care if they know that I'm posting on GS. I've sat in Airports, McDonalds, the library, and places like that posting before.

Whenever I see people posting on GS in my library I always go have a nose to see if I 'know' them. They're always kids who aren't logged in though.

I don't get concerned about anyone catching me on GS. Catching me on 'other' websites would be a concern and GS is usually my go-to site to avoid suspicion :)
