They wouldn't ask that question unless they game too. A lot of the time, though, I'm probibly more hardcore than them (not a badge of honor just a definition).

No, games are kick ass. If the coolest kid in school said he liked games, nobody would care. The difference between him and the nerd is that he champions it while the nerd stands around looking like he's embarrassed and ashamed to like them.

No, I'm fine because the only game I would be embarrassed about playing is WoW and I have not and will not ever touch it.

Not really, cocaine is for loosers and apathetic teens who leech off their daddy's credit card.

Yes... a lot of people in my school game. If someone asks me that and I say yes, I usually get the reply "cool me too"

I have a Halo 2 t-shirt that I once bought a few years back. I don't wear it anymore because the Halo community (and Halo 3) are an embarrasment. Other than that, heck yes I game and I'm darn proud of it.

No. In fact when someone talks about careers I'm the first one to open my mouth and say I want to be a video game programmer. I like getting into conversations with people with games and (altough the conversation of games comes up once in a blue moon) it's fun. I hate it when people think that girls only like and play wii games (which is kinda weird cause I only have a wii :P) but love it when i come in a conversation and know more about it then they do. It feel GRRRRRRRRREEEAAT!

Just great...

I rarely get embarrassed at all. Why would I be embarrassed of gaming? It's an activity like any other and if you have a proper self-image you shouldn't even bother thinking what other people will think of you if you play video games.

The only time I get this question is when im selling one or buying a game in-stores. More often then not, I say no to save myself the time and sometimes the entertaining playful harassment which has nothing to do with being a gamer as much as being one with the "girl" at the end. But I can't imagine anyone asking me unless they're into gaming as well anyways(who isn't nowadays?)--it's not even that serious to me. Who cares, **** what somebody thinks.

No, it's a hobby like any other, not worse than watching movies imo. Not that anyone has ever asked me that.
