At least it's better than the people who funded it for more gore just because they thought seeing a cow heart and piece of steak entering a mouse hole was the point of the show, the entire point of it was "how teach people the wrong way".

Then I let them compute those informations, and given the fact that they don't know what it is, they just say "OK" and continue talking about how bad are their mates in LoL.
Easy.

I tell them I like a wide variety of games and ask them if they are interested in coming over to multiplay some. Liking some obscure vidya doesn't make others think you're some kinda weirdo or anything, even if you have some questionable games in your collection. If you don't have awful coworkers they'll probably think your taste is just interesting and don't mind it much.

That's what gets me, fuck, I play like everything and anything that isn't fucking sports or puzzles.
Fucking Zelda, Dark Souls, Ratchet and Clank, inFamous, Pokemon, Digimon, Spider-Man, Uncharted, Harvest Moon, Gears of War.
It's like fuck, what do I tell these normies at work.

Why do they have to fucking ask?

I don't tell co-workers I play video games. If they ask if I play video games, I always say no. If they ask what other hobbies I have, I start up this charade about how at home, I'm a lazy piece of shit who lays around and does nothing all day, and I work hard when it comes to my job because I feel like I need to make up for it. I wasn't willing to say I had a hobby I don't actually have, so this was the next best thing.

One guy, in particular, really had it out for me and kept bugging me about what I did when I was off work. I always found some way to weasel my way out without saying anything.

No, I'd really rather not. This is for two reasons. First, if the person asking me plays video games and I say I play video games, that person will assume the two of us are a lot alike and share the same interests. This is despite the fact that there are many kinds of wildly different games, and I consider it highly unlikely that the kinds I enjoy will also be enjoyed by people who ask me about my hobbies. I don't want to be consider like other people merely because we both play video games.

Second, I just hate what video games have become. It's still my preference for entertainment, but there are so many different aspects of the industry that irk me and make me want to distance myself from it. So, I do. I don't tell people I play video games.

Talking to your coworkers or classmates about games is like dating. You have to give the most superficially appeasing answers to gauge if it's safe to let your guard down and bare your soul.

Name a handful of extremely mainstream titles that you can demonstrate some level of competency in, in the event you're ever invited to play video games, so make sure you have at least one or two multiplayer titles in your repertoire;
>COD
>Smash Bros.
>GTA or whatever RPG is popular at the time, e.g. Fallout or Skyrim

Then depending on how they respond, rattle off some broad genres, maybe namedropping some other ones, e.g. adventure titles like Zelda.

Sometimes they surprise you though. This one dude I'd pegged as your usual outgoing normie with a very casual interest in flavor of the month vidya just dropped that he spends his weekends playing tabletop RPGs and was brainstorming scenarios for his group of friends.

Another one was this girl, any time she'd talk about her plans it would be about going out to nightclubs and getting her hair done for going out and her diet and other silly fashion stuff. We're eating lunch and she asks me if I think video games are lame. Then she pulls out a 3DS and starts playing Fire Emblem, all the time talking about how lame she is for liking video games. She picked a dude avatar and went for the gay option, so that was kind of interesting, but I didn't press her on that.

Happens to me a lot.
I say rock and metal.
They ask what kinda, so I tell them mostly metalcore.
They then ask is that the type with screaming and so I say yes.
Then they ask what bands I like and why, so I say As I Lay Dying and All That Remains and other bands.
They don't know what bands they are, and usually I try to end the conversation.
I don't force people to like my music, it's just music I happen to like.
I do defend my bands aren't 100% screamo, it always has a singer who also sings.
