Earlier, zohner posted on the hierarchy of geeks from an old chart created by the Brunching Shuttlecocks. While it mainly centered on items that typically might identify geeks, it did leave a big one out: video games.
Gone are the days when playing video games in your basement was a sign of social rejection. In today’s world, there’s something WRONG with a child who has no interest in gaming. Men play video games in social settings in the same manner as their fathers would have poker night. Teenagers use them as their way to pretend they are someone else (and actually try and convince other people over voice that they really ARE as badass as they claim).
