It's not something I advertise but it's also not something I'm ashamed of. Though I'd never actually use a word like "gamer" to describe myself, if the topic of video-games came up, I wouldn't hesitate to say that I play them on a regular basis.

People whine about CoD and the Wii a lot but I think both have done an excellent job of reducing the stigma. It's much less of a negative than it was during past console generations. The PS3 being a Blu-Ray player, as well, helped establish it as something an adult might own.
