I played Championship Manager on the Amiga with three mates for 60 hours straight back when I was wee lad.

Just smoked weed, drank tea and ate baked beans on toast for three days.

All stereotypes are derived from some kind of truth somewhere.

I’ve not really bought into that “alone in the bedroom for eternity” stereotype… at least not for many years. Is it that surprising that people who prefer interactivity to passivity also like to interact with the real world more than their “passive” entertainment favouring counterparts?

People who visit game conventions really aren’t average gamers. Hell, I’m a hardcore gamer and I wouldn’t go to one.

Leave it out. Have a gander at the attendees of your average game show and tell me again that gamers aren’t geeky.

Embrace nerdiness!
