Most Ignorant thing somebody has to said to you about gaming.

Some guy "Dragon age is a ripoff of WoW"
I know

Co worker: - So i hear you are into that gaming thing.
* doing a pacman eating gesture with right hand *
Co worker: - wacka wacka wacka....

( i knew this guy was into classical music, so whenever i talked with him after this, i tried
to insert questions of game music concerts, bugged the heck out of him. )

"Gaming is for children/stupid people/socially inept teenage boys"
"This game is good because it's popular"
"This game sucks because it's popular"
"My opinion on gaming is more valid than yours because I am a "hardcore" gamer".

 

[RenegadeRed]

WTF communists are always more fun to play, as they're the goofy idealogues with funny Russian accents. Why would you play as the boring Americans, doesn't the world get enough hyper-patriotism from Fox News?

 

[Artanith]

"Games are a waste of time." OK, I get it, you hate and won't play them, but that doesn't mean you should be so rash as to say something that millions of people enjoy is a straight up waste of time.

In my 300s level Psychology class, a 40 year old man suggested that the reason *I* was an underachiever and nontheist was because I played video games. When I pointed out that he was 40 and still didn't have his bachelor's degree, he followed up that Video Games must have made me rude as well...

Yep.

Someone on these forums said not too long ago that all gamers were fat, sweaty losers who lived with their mothers after graduating college and had no social skills. So that guy.

You win.

Mom - "You're killing them, that's horrible. You're a bastard!"

Me - "It's just a game..."

No wait...you win.

trying to post a comment i haven't seen, sorry if you did mention the same...
it really bothers me when people say that games are not a form of art. thats just BS. the artist determines the art, not the viewer.

 

[RanD00M]

dumbass -"its fun to play as the communists" me-*slaps dumbass* "You're ignorant"

Might I ask what game the dumbass was talking about?

OT: Some guy I met at the bus stop-"Oh so your a gamer huh? SO you should know that games cause school shootings and make people disbelieve in god" Me-"So your religious? You do know that millions have been killed because of religion."

"gaming"

Anyway, I suppose the worst thing I can remember is "Valve shouldn't bother to make games for the PC, no one plays on one of those anyway."
>.>
.>

...that has successfully caused my brain to melt with the sheet stupdity contained in just a single sentance.

I don't think anyone has said anything that stupid to me, I converted most of my family to being pro gaming through a Wii and Plants vs Zombies. My older sister did once complain that I was killing a woman which annoyed me(I was assassinating her not killing.)

 

[Bilbo536]

Had a guy try to tell me once that Halo was an RPG.

WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN!!

OT: There was a conversation with some dolt at my school

Dolt: So what do you do besides drawing? (I draw a lot at school because I have nothing else to do there)
Me: I play video games.
Dolt: Oh do you have a 360?
Me: No.
Dolt: PS3?
Me: No.
Dolt: ...a Wii?
Me: Yeah, and?
Dolt: Oh, nothing. Have fun playing Barney.

I really hate Wii haters. I don't even think there are Barney games on the Wii.

I get some of the same hate sometimes, I know how you feel. Wii kicks ass. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, sir. We must stand together!

I was playing Mass Effect 1 when my uncle comes along. He has never played videogames in his life and has no kids so the only time he even sees them is either when he comes over and I'm playing or apparently news broadcasts on TV.

Uncle: What game you playing?
Me: Mass Effect
Uncle: Where are the hookers?
Me: WTF? What are you talking about?
Uncle: Don't all videogames have hookers you can sleep with?
Me: ....no....
Uncle: Yeah and then you can kill them. I saw it on TV.
Me: uhh thats just Grand Theft Auto. Thats a different game.
Uncle: Well why doesn't this game have hookers if that other game does?
Me: ..because most games don't have hookers...
Uncle: This game is stupid. It should have hookers. *walks away*
Me: /facepalm.

2 things: (in logic form!)
I own a Wii (which was a present from my grandmother), therefore I am a child who can't bring myself to play manlier games.
I play RPGs, not FPS, therefore I am a wimp.

 

[Bilbo536]

I think that this thread deserves a couple of words:


HALO IS THE BEST GAME EVER.
/insta facepalm.

hahahahaha I've had a bunch of friends tell me that "Halo is the perfect game".
I was dumbfounded at the time, but looking back it's just hilarious!

 

[person427]

I was playing Megaman 2 (I love old games)
Kid: That's a stupid game.
Me: Do you even know what game it is?
Kid: No, but it looks stupid.
Me: You don't even recognize Megaman?
Kid: No, and I'm glad I don't, that game looks stupid.
Me: What games do you like?
Kid: None, only nerds play videogames, you loser.
Me: Whatever.
About an hour later I see the same kid playing some ipod touch game.

My sister often nags "you play those stupid games to much, go be social." While she avoids all contact with people as if they had the plague. She hates going to family gatherings and often tries to avoid them so she can sit on her computer and watch tv.

That's more like a hypocrite than something ignorant really.

 

[k3v1n]

ooh those poor poor niggers in vietnam not having anything to eat or dress

I was stunned...

 

[Phantom_Natal]

"This game is like, 3D"
If having to recall what sounded the most ignorant thing in gaming situations.

 

[JeanLuc761]

Some guy "Dragon age is a ripoff of WoW"
I know

Because we all know World of Warcraft invented the RPG.

God, people amuse me

A friend of mine said he didn't like Batman: Arkham Assylum becuase it was the same as Mario 64.
