I used to have an art teacher that played a lot of video games. He stated to me that Metal Gear Solid 3 was very long and quite hard.
What happened to him? I don't know, I moved from there to here.

Back in the olden days of Tennessee, when I was expected by my grandmother to be christian, I wound up playing against my church's priest in Halo 2. He was good at it, too...
A long time ago, right about when the gamecube was released, I gave my sister my old n64 for christmas (she had headed off to college earlier that year. She never mentioned playing with it or anything, but when I came to visit her during summer break last year, I found that she had about 20+ more games than what I gave her, and as I booted up some of the old cartridges I found save files with my sister's name on nearly every single one, with 100% completion on most of them. Not only does she play games...she COMPLETELY does everything and anything that there is to do on them. She challenged me to a game of Pokemon Puzzle League (a game I've probably spent 100+ hours on easily), and completely destroyed me. IF I want to be completely honest, she probably has more natural talent with videogames than I do...lucky for my geek manhood that her talent was never honed. Having a sister that is better at videogames than you would suck!
After my graduation, during the summer before I began my freshman year of college, my AP Government teacher, who had a reputation in the school as one of the most dull and uninteresting teachers teaching one of the most dull and uninteresting classes (to most of us anyway), called me up and asked if I wanted to go to a Battlefield 2142 LAN party.
Shock and awe follow.

I found out last year that my short-lived girfriend was a dedicated Halo player, that was weird...
One of my friends, he's kind of the "gangsta", he goes to alot of parties, does all sorts of drugs etc, etc, and he still knows what is an Xbox360, PS3, Wii, and knows alot of new games, and even played many of them. That surprised, surprises and surely will surprise for abit in the future too.
A cople of months ago I found out a girl in my year group who was rather hippy-like played Gears of War.
And she kicked my and all my friends asses at it.
"Never judge a book by its cover" springs to mind.
Quite surprising never-the-less.

Similar to Fraught,
A very good friend of mine who goes to a lot of party's and is considered one of the attractive boys in my school (even after me, shock. horror) and has had more girlfriends than I've had hot meals stayed in an entire week playing Bioshock, Far Cry 2, Fallout 3 and Little Big Planet

I had a math teacher who was completely addicted to SSBM. It took me and two other people triple-teaming him to take him down. He is damn good.
There's this lady that I work with who's in her 50's and I would never think she was a gamer. But then one day I go into the break room and she's on the phone with somebody at a store asking if they have copies of Wrath of the Lich King.
When she gets off the phone I ask her "Do you play WoW? Or are you going to buy that for somebody else?"
"What? You don't think I can play games because I'm a woman?"
"Well, no..."
"Or is it because I'm too old?"
"Well, both, kind of..." (that was a huge mistake for me to say that)
She still gives me crap about it, but it's all in good fun. We're both playing Fallout 3 right now and talk about it on our breaks

One of my sociology professors plays World of Warcraft, SPORE, and other similar titles. She justifies it as "research" because her field is largely videogame studies, but she keeps pretty good track of the industry and knows about all the big games even if she doesn't play them. Pretty awesome person besides that.
i know little buddy i saw the title and thought about our friend the big blue bug of justice but no it was an evil trick because it was just so evilgalletea said:
as for me, i used to work with a girl, who i say is the second hottest gamer i know, and she made a comment when me and another guy were talking about gaming and i found out she's a hardcore fps player. she even started smack talking about kicking her bf's ass in games
i've met a couple ppl like that but she sticks out in my mind
Somewhat off topic, but I love noticing/meeting customers at Best Buy who are in to buy games. Always an easy conversation (mind raping sale..) when you can talk to a stranger about a game you've played that they're buying.
Occasionally one of the wow addicted mongrels comes in to grab a time card, man its fun to bust their balls. I myself, defeated the well known wow addiction, and have moved on with my life. It wasn't easy, to say the least. But when I look back, and even talk to friends at school about it, the effects are devastating. Whats becoming scarier about wow is that the target audience is becoming more and more vast. Anyone from old folks, to little bastard children, to the obese dad with mass facial hair. Whats even better is to notice what faction and race you would imagine they'd play.. hey i'm creepy. >.>
I'll shut up now.
