Good. Weird makes the world an amazing place.
If we were all "normal" as the media defines is we'd all be bored as shit.



Current Game Machines: 3DS, Wii U, PC.

Currently Playing: X-Com(PC), Smash Bros(WiiU), Banner Saga(PC), Guild Wars 2(PC), Project X Zone(3DS), Luigis Mansion 2(3DS), DayZ(PC)

If you're over 30 and love Nintendo, then you are weird, because you're in a very small minority of people (and quite a small minority of gamers over 30 to boot as well I believe). If society wasn't so against a little weirdness then life would be a lot easier right?



I don't play Nintendo games.

Greatness, depth and difficulty of gameplay are not really important.

When you grow up, you need your games to be more meaningfull, to have a b grade movie storyline written by people who weren't good enough to write motion pictures.

At the very least, my games needs to have realistic graphics and/or gritty violence.

When you are mature, style (realistic graphics, violent presentation) prevails over substance (gameplay). All the substance I need is a storyline that's awful compared to any acclaimed motion picture or book.



All you need to do to prove that violent video games have absolutely nothing to do with violence in society is point out the amount of QA Technicians, QA Leads and QA Supervisors that go on killing sprees. That's right, none at all despite them being 'exposed' to this medium for at least 40 hours every week for 50 weeks of the year.

Video games don't kill people, nutjobs kill people lol

We got COD Kids though who wouldn't ever want to touch a Nintendo game!



Your weirdness ..........it petrifies me.



I don't care. Guess I'm into a more modern civilization where playing games is not a weird/kid entertainment.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


I think fanboyism is more of a weirdness than enjoying video games.



 

Funny article, not literally though.  Curious thing happened the other night.  I'm not what you call the target audience for gaming now as I'm close to 50.  I do however now have a WiiU system because I thought it would be fun for my 6 year old.   Here's what happened when Santa brought the WiiU into the household Xmas 2013.  It got me back into video games.  I won't sit and play a game all day long, but if I have 15 minutes or 1/2 to spare I'll put on a game and play for a little bit. 

My son last night was playing Mario Kart Wii (not 8 yet, he's getting that for his birthday next week), but as he played he as laughing and giggling and having fun everytime he hit someone with a red shell, or transfered a thundercloud to someone else in the race.   I had a lot of fun just watching him enjoying the pure joy of videogames.  Isn't that what gaming is all about?

Hell, I'll admit that without Nintendo and their "Kid" friendly system we wouldn't have a console in the house. 

So for me, I sill love Nintendo.
