Yeah, I'm going to have to go with this. |

Again, do you have any logical backing for your opinion, and can you give an example of what makes this hobby immature as compared to other hobbies? Or is it simply a case of "You don't like it, therefore it must be bad"? Also, your "type of adult" comment is very funny, because adults that play video games actually constitute a fairly typical cross section of the population, across various education levels, income levels, and age levels. In simple terms, that means there is no particular "type of adult" that plays video games, no matter what you believe. Personally, I think insulting people because you don't like their hobby is far more immature behavior, and I feel sorry for your DH and children if this is the way you behave around others. |

Clicked on the thread to add that I'm a total gamer (but I like FPS rather than MMORPGs -- ME3 was amazing! Also can't wait for Half Life 3 to come out...HAHAHAHA by then I'll be an old).
Stayed on the thread to commend the massive pwnage of the old who keep harping about gamer ladies. Grandma, you are hilare! Please do keep it up -- we obviously are in need of your bitchy schooling to teach us how to be (dull, prudish, judgmental) women! |

My kids are in their teens. I started playind D&D in the 80s...on paper. Yeah, I'm that old. Nobody who knows me IRL would ever think we (DH and I) are gamers, let alone D&D gamers... 
p.s. I like wine. I like quilted Burberry jackets. |

I like to churn my own butter and bronze pretty autumn leaves that fall off the trees. Surely these are mature, non-time sucking hobbies. I also carry butterscotch candies in my pockets to give out to good boys and girls. |

| I love it! I wish that you or some one would make a Windows Live/ XBox Live group named DCurbanmoms or some such name so we could find each other for the late night or daytime sessions. I would join up for sure! |

Playing Skrim now too--getting a bit bored though as there's no multiplayer aspect... |

Yes, so good I just know whatever I play next will be a bit of a let-down! I'm totally in the market for a well-scripted, amazing FPS (if anyone wants to share their recs). |

I don’t think there’s a type or a typical person that would be defined as a “gamer”. We are a pretty diverse group. As a FYI, here’s the composition of our core 10 person (plus 3 alternates) raid team:
1) 46 yo female, executive from DC 2) 43 yo female, attorney from Oregon 3) 64yo male, retired truck driver from Texas 4) 50 yo male, corporate VP from DC 5) 39 yo male, security system installer from South Carolina 6) 41 yo female, SAHM with older kids from NYC 7) 31 yo male, retail manager, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada 8) 13 yo male, Student, Virginia 9) 32 yo male, IT Manager, Maryland 10) 26 yo male, auto body shop Manager, Utah 11) 29 yo female, active duty Army, Ft. Huachuca, AZ 12) 17 yo male, Student, Alaska 13) 52 yo male, cab driver, Mexico City, Mexico We call each other by our real names, most of us have played together for over 10 years. First Everquest and now WoW. We have attended each other’s weddings, celebrated the birth of children, and other important milestones with each other. We are friends in every sense of the word. Oh, and last night the other games mom’s and I put on our Lovely Black Dresses and met in the Gilded Rose. Over a few shots of Don Carlo’s Tequila, we all decided that we like Burberry quilted jackets, and Tory Burch. We also decided as a group, that we don’t much care for Coach, but that was just our opinion and we wouldn’t bash anyone who does like it. We also decided the new Tier pieces should show more skin on the female toons, but that may have been the tequila talking. |

Our guild has been playing Battlefield 3 while waiting on the x-pack, it's a lot of fun if you like FPS. |
