I'm in my late thirties. Played a lot of video games when I was a kid through college and a little after. But this whole idea of there being a "gaming culture" or how being a "gamer" is a major part of peoples' personalities just seems weird to me. Not even a complaint, just an observation.

    When Halo:CE made gaming go mainstream in a way it never was before various corps started marketing heavily to the new cadre of gamers.

      Big time this. Halo got all the normies who thought gaming was nerd shit. I watched as "gamer" transitioned from wrinkled polo shirt dweebs on RuneScape to Adidas slide football boys on Halo/CoD
