User blog comment:XelNecra/The Stereotype of a "Gamer"/@comment-5969046-20130131135119

When I'm asked about my hobbies, I have no problem telling I play video games.

Usually, younger people understand what it means and refers to, but even after more than 10 years of being a 'gamer' myself, my parents still have no clue about what I'm doing on the internet, who I can meet and play with there and even what the point in playing video games is.

They have no idea how gaming can help you think, act, react, speak in a correct manner, communicate and coordonate with people you never saw before and you might never see again - in a word, many things that you can train and which will help you in every day of your life.
