some people refer to the videogame community as geeks, and i find this unfair since its insulting and most of us arent geeks. do you think they have the right to call us geeks or why are we called that.

I think you're harping on about it too much. Tell them to shut the F up and see what they do about it.

I don't really consider myself part of the videogaming community. Mostly since I hardly play games.

It's called a comedic whim. I figured it was funny. Satire even. Something like the chicken cannon off of Air Farce.

Nah...They just think where like this because where always so close to computers, consoles, and the lke. Anyway, don't take it too seriously, let them think what they want to think. Get pissed......sorry can't advice you on that one (I don't really feel insulted when I'm called geek. So what if I am?)

People who can't even set the clock on their DVD player, think that anyone who can is a geek. So, the bar is pretty low !!!

*sarcastic* Because we know all about video games, we loved to talk about everything in video games (characters, items, story, etc.), and finally we absolutely loooooooooooooooooove to play card games (magic card games). *sarcastic* :D

Don't question humanity's way of labeling everything, we're just doing our part. Just like lesbians, cool people, retards, etc.

The question I would ask is, why not?

Gaming and such is as much a hobby as racing cars or playing football. I don't see the difference.
