The Truth behind Xbox Gamers

               What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word gamer? If it was nerd, geek, or no life, then you are mostly incorrect. Although you may be correct in some cases, people that play Xbox are normal people just like you and me. Kids that you would least expect play Xbox all the time. Maybe it’s the star athlete of the baseball team who is going to a division one school or perhaps the genius with the 4.0 GPA who, in your mind, studies all the time. Or maybe even the most popular kid in school who gets all the girls.
                People who play Xbox all the time get a bad rap. When people think of gamers, the first thing that pops up into their head is loner because they sit in a room by themselves and play Xbox. How is that any different from you sitting on your laptop on Facebook all day? The truth is that that kid playing Xbox is being more social than you are. He has the microphone on and is talking to his friends and people he has never even met before. He is actually being extremely social.
                On top of being more social, he is having fun. And stop lying to yourself. Sitting on Facebook all day is not fun.  Just because you see things happening on Facebook does not make you a part of them. You are actually being antisocial by stalking random people on Facebook and not commenting on their posts. So next time you hear the word gamer, stop, think twice, and remember what you just read. Because that gamer might just be the richest man in the United States. (Bill Gates)

PS Tip: If you have a crush on a gamer, buy yourself an Xbox because gamers love girls that play Xbox.

  2. It definitely depends what kind of mood I'm in. I tend to throw things when they are around me and I know that nothing will break. I will only scream if no one else is home. If his anger is at about a 9, mine probably gets to a max of 4.

  3. I agree, gamers get all of the bad rep and nobody truly understands how open and creative a gamer can be unless they themselves are a gamer.

  4. Gamers have to be extremely creative in order to beat some of the games they play. They need to be able to figure out what to do next.
