Videogame Magazine Outsells Time, Playboy, and Sports Illustrated
The Era of the Nerd is upon us. When the gaming magazine GameInformer outsells traditional popular titles such as Time and Playboy, you know things are changing. The best thing about this story is that now we (us nerds) have a fact we can point out to people who refuse to believe that adults play videogames.
For the most part I don't care what anyone thinks about me, but it is annoying when someone's girlfriend/wife rolls their eyes and whispers to their friends, "I wonder when they are going to grow up. It's so childish playing videogames." Well, BOOYAH BITCHES! Obviously it's NOT only kids playing videogames. I don't remember Highlights or Boy's Life magazine making any top 20 list of magazines sold.
You shouldn't judge people on what they do with their free time. But of course this isn't a perfect world where everyone is nice to everybody, so here is your evidence to use against them (them = dumb whores) when you decide to put them in their place.
The bottom line... the time's are changing. To all the traditionalists, either change with it, keep your mouth shut, or keep talking and look stupid. Unlike you, I don't care.

You forgot to include future mother-in-laws not believing that adults play games. Think about that in case you find something similar dealing with board games. You should also send this link to Galactus...that dumb-ass fucking retard bitch. Hope I don't get banned from this site for using bad language...hahaha.

So when I look at the list you provided above (from ABC), it shows me that AARP, Readers Digest and other "old people/retired mags", and like 6+ "women mags" are the ones toward the top of the list...aren't theses most of the people who are retired, unemployed or stay at home? Huhmm. I am not saying that most gamers are "unemployed" or have "low-responsibility" jobs, just made an interesting observation.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I completely agree with your statements & opinions and do not deny the fact that gamers are a force to be reckoned with...both younger and older.
