We Need To Stop Using The Term Gamer


Posted on 10/07/2013 at 12:49 PM | Filed Under Blogs

     I know people, mostly older people who grew up on that new thing television, that watch it all the time. They even go to sleep in front of the TV. No one thinks that's abnormal or calls them TOOBERS or something; although, maybe they did in the fifties or sixites when TV was still pretty new. Gaming has only hit the mainstream in a big way this last generation. It was a fad in the eighties, then a thing kids did in the nineties, then a thing you did after school with your high school/college buddies, and now it's something you live with. It's everwhere, in everything. Pretty soon, no one will even notice that you game, it will be assumed and the term GAMER will become a thing of memory.

   This reminds me of something I heard once about technology, how it starts as a novelty, then something a niche audience uses, then it becomes unbiquitous and no one notices it anymore. It's taken for granted and assumed in every situation. I think this might be happening with video gaming; although, I still feel a little bit the outsider for being into it so much.

That last photo is how I feel right now. Also, I think Rangergirl here at Pixlbit was thinking of getting a 2DS too. I'd like to hear a review of it.

Yea, it has a second disc with all the multiplayer maps for Halo 3. BONUS! ODST is dark like it's supposed to be all film noir and such, but it's not really scary unless Unggoy or Kig-Yar scare you. But I guess anything is scary when it pops out of the dark and tries to kill you. I'm kinda on the fence about it being Halloween worthy.

Just put it on my Netflix cue. Adam Scott is in it too! I just saw him in Party Down. Loved that show.

I didn't know there was a 4 disc game for the PS1 and full of FMV too.

The sound on the 3DS is what struck me first. Especially on headphones.

Ah, I love Amy Poehler. But I've never seen this show.

TCGR: Shadow Wars is a turn-based strategy game directed by Juian Gallop. He did the first and third X-COM games back in the ninties and it shows. Everything is done to perfection. It's $10 right now at Gamestop. Totally worth it.

I used to be so about features that let you play your handheld games on your TV. Now that I've played some amazing games on handhelds, I no longer want to link them to my TV for a bigger screen. They do just great with what they've got. But in RR's case, it's cool to have some extra content by linking up with a PS3.
