Shared on Mon, 07/03/2006 - 10:23Last Thursday Night I had to end a fun time of being massacred in COD2(27 deaths, Thanks Umbee Capt ,PDT etc) to go out to dinner. The dinner actually was an excuse to get me to be a wingman. Now long story short dinner is over and we move over to the brewery part for some more drinks. I pull out my wallet and pay for the round when my "date" grabs my wallet out of my hands and starts going over it. I cant believe how rude this "woman" is but Im trying to be polite and I would never grab a woman no matter what. So she see my EB Edge cardand asks what it is. I answer its a discount card for video games at Electronics Boutique. She then goes arent you a bit old to still being playing video games? I said no but I am a member of 2old2play. I then said Im also old enough to know you dont grab a persons wallet and then rifle through it without permission.
The whole incident just reminded me how glad I was to find 2old2play. I mean why should I have to defend gaming to a tipsy rude person? It still amazes me that someone would brand gaming as juevenille while theyre acting like a freshman at their first frat party.
I sell toys for a living so I never feel bad or ashamed about playing video games. I just hope one day gaming will be as accepted by the general public as a hobby for all ages just like fishing, hunting, painting etc. Until it does, Ill still be out there defending gaming.
End of Rant
