Games for Guys

I know now I wouldn't go out with a guy who doesn't like videogames, but a few years back, I thought hardcore gaming and anime were for lame losers who had nothing better to do on a friday night. I couldn't be more wrong; my first boyfriend taught me the pleasures of shooting zombies and leakers and being a hot pixeled girl in hot pants. It actually helped me relief tension during break-ups and exams.
I know I liked playing, my dad and I used to play Mario Bros and Duckhunt when I was little, and when I went to my friends' homes I played Indiana Jones and The Lion King, but it was just a passtime, nothing I would talk about to my other friends at school, who were actually more into discussing which Baywatch character they wanted to be, or whose Cabagepatch was cuter (or grosser... I mean... pooping and peeing fat, creepy, fake babies???). Althoug I never felt a part of any of both crowds, I knew I liked better rescuing a princess than pretending to be the proud mom of twelve plastic babies, or a slut in a red swimsuit (I didn't even had developed the goods to fill said swimsuit... I haven't to this day... and I'm ok with it... I SWEAR!!!).
But eventually I grew up, well, sort of... after elementary I turned into some goth ish weird skanky (or not...) outcast who was all about Marilyn Manson and forgot about the videogames. So I would go around being all judgemental about the kids I used to play with, I actually forgot about how good it felt and started hating anime like Pokemon (ok, I still hate Pokemon...) just because their hair wasn't dyed purple and their grades were better than mine.
Luckily that is over now; I still dye my hair, and my grades aren't the best, but I do like videogames and anime.
Now it's pretty trendy and girls play at least Wii, but there are still some games that are mostly played by guys, like tactics. I wasn't that much into it, but I was much into drinking and hanging out with my boyfriend's friends, so I learned the basics. I'm actually not very good at them, but I like sucking at it, so I got StarCraft 2. Out of nowhere, some aquaintances I barely spoke to added me to play online and though I still suck, it makes me feel good to have something that is my own special spot where I can suck and not be bothered by it. In some odd fashion, I feel like the lame loser now, and I know it is nothing compared to school torture-loser, so that's why I like it.

Thanks for reading the lamest post ever written
