Do you suffer from 'gamer shame'?

You have to stand proud son. Anycase if you klapped more gym boet, you would not care if somebody checked you skeef, cause you would uppercut their heads off.

Not ashamed of it at all, but in my office for example, I work with a bunch jocks who have in the past teased gamers and or made fun of it.

So yeah I don't talk to them about gaming, they know I game but probably not that I am pretty much a geek.

Doesn't actually bother me.
 
Nope. Gamer and very, very proud of it. Actually consider people who don't game to be on the same page as people who don't read: illiterate and ignorant.
 
I am ashamed when I play a really terrible game :p

But No. I have always been proud of being a nerd. We have the best hobbies:D
 
Most of my friends know I game, and some of them are gamers too- not all of them though. My co-workers know I'm a gamer, but I don't really talk to them about it that much because I can see they have no understanding of it and/or don't appreciate it as much as I do, if you know what I mean? :D
 
Maybe I am, hard to say. In general everyday life, I assume that most people do not play games, so speaking to them about games just seems pointless. I save my games talk for my friends who I know play games.

Also, if I were single and I were to meet a cute girl at a bar, I probably wouldn't be in a mad rush to tell her that I love playing video games. Maybe that's because in my experience (playing online) many gamers are childish, obnoxious trolls, and I don't really want to be associated with them.

It's not that I consciously keep it a secret, I guess I just don't see it as something which defines me, so I won't bring it up unless there is a specific reason to do so.

Bwahahaha! So true.

My question is always "Do you like Star Wars?"
If the answer starts with an "ummm" its bye bye baby.

Luckily found a woman who is almost as big a Geek as me.

cons: in game parting of gold and items as with money parting irl.

Nonsense. Even in an MMO, we've never had that problem, or at least it's never BEEN a problem, mostly because, as in real life, it strengthens you both for the battle ahead so that you can, as a team, truly kick some ass.

you don't have a girl :p

my partner is a big time nerdy gamer. i've parted with enough items and gold, there's also the times where one would rather not game and get out where as the other party prefers gaming over that; both sides.

also, you might have to buy every cool title 2x :D
