Is the video we've been talking about an over generalization, or are a lot of gamers like that? I only know the guy I used to work with and he was pretty weird. Having said that, it was just one person.
Well, I wouldn't call that a game but....that is another story, lol. Sure, there are many odd gamers. There are many normal and responsible gamers too. Some just have much more disposable income than others.

Honestly, I don't see a lot of difference between ham and gaming. There are stereotypes but many are normal and hardworking people who just like to spend their free time on a hobby they enjoy. Then again...my thinking their normal may not give them any credibility. :P

They I cant eat, sleep, etc until I unlock this, kill this guy, make my level type are like those that refuse to sleep if there is an all night contest.

As for websites like this one. Well, yes, I ran one for years. It too was more or less a misfit site too. However, sites of this size and type are normally for clans or guilds. Mainstream sites have massive active membership. However, I would compare the content worth to that of the zed. Which is why I like smaller sites that are not main stream.

Sites and even game servers differ widely even when they are the same game. Depending on if they are an open license, legacy, bootleg, mainstream, etc.

Bootleg games and sites have their appeal to the masses as well. However, they normally don't run for very long. Either their ISP shuts them down or they get mass DOS.

In reality it is like a world of its own. If one does not realize that it isn't reality it can and will cause problems.
