Interesting story. I think beeing ashamed is an overreaction, there is no need to be ashamed for your hobby. But I also understand your position. Here videogames are partially for the non working poor people. I usually never talk about games. If people are into it I do it sometimes.
Most people dont even know that I play games somehow i just dont fit in the picture of someone who shows strong interest in videogames.
I never was on a launch event before because I can be patient and I dont mind buying a game months after it releases sometimes years. as time passes by the picture of the typical videogame guy will change and you can stand in a line without telling stories.
whats really interesting is that in the line there were just geeks. Its not like a bunch of cheerleader where watching you.
