Do you tell people in real life you are a gamer?

[Weedlab]

Of course I do. I don't advertise it to every person I meet, but if I see certain qualities in a person I'll probably let them know. I would like to think I have enough layers in my personality for people to look past that. They don't see me as a basement dwelling freak or anything. I tend to tell girls about my hobby as well. I have nothing to be ashamed of and I can't recall it being interpreted as a negative by anybody. Like partying, reading, socializing and 'experimenting' ... gaming is just another hobby.

Plus ... it's funny how girls I talk to often renounce videogames, but when they come over and play Rayman Origins with me they have a blast and their perception changes.
