That one issue you have that you told me about earlier this year really shines through.

Well, I don't play 24/7 non-stop (don't even play daily), but if some smug prick walked up to me and called me a "loser" for being into video games I'd probably say something along the lines of "I don't remember asking your opinion you smug f*cking c**t, what's it to you anyway? I don't know YOU!"

This would be accompanied by the appropriate body language, unless the guy looked exceptionally tough or psychotic.

To be honest, the term "loser" as an insult is an American import and very rarely used in the UK. I would be equally likely to mock their pathetic choice of insult as I would be to actually get angry about it.

To me the whole loser/winner thing is far too subjective anyway. One of the best things you can be in life is authentic, a big part of that is being honest with yourself about what you're into and not giving two f*cks what other people think about it - if anything, that's winning.

In short "None of us can ever truly be free until nerd persecution ends!" - That bit at the end of underrated classic comedy 'Revenge of the Nerds'.

I have never been called a nerd in my life. Except my brothers... but that's more to do with my understanding of history/economics/politics. Not once have I been called a nerd for gaming, or studying computer science.

If someone said that to you it's kinda your fault for hanging around with immature people.

Me ????

i have little to none social life, i dont work or study, i play videogames/computer 8hours per day, i use my "free" time to play sports and yes, i have gf...im a loser? sure, but who cares if i dont...im a nerd? no, i could easily kick your ass...

I just say I still look better than them, but they say they had 20 times more girls than me, lucky for me 0 times 20 equals 0. JOKES ON YOU!
