iRate:- Annoying Things Non-Gamers Say
BE HONEST, YOU DID NOT SEE THAT COMING
We are generally a casual gamer friendly site over here at The Newb Review. However, one thing that really perturbs us is vexatious ‘non-gamers’ or ‘game-muggles’ assaulting us with their narrow minded, uneducated comments!
But fret not fellow gaming enthusiasts, for we have compiled a library of witty and wholly appropriate come-backs or ‘truth-bombs’ to give you an advantage over your foe. Take them to school Joefeesh…line

You play games? That’s so sad
Correct Gamer Response
No, what’s sad is that my hobby is shared with millions of intelligent, proffessional adults in this country and is one of the largest entertainment industries in the world and still you fail to acknowledge it as a valid medium. If I’m sad, it’s only for your ignorance.

RYU BLAST FROM THE OLD SHOOL FOR 20.180 BILLION DAMAGE.
Thanks to Tatsunoko Vs Capcom for perfectly illustrating the ass whooping that JUST HAPPENED!
Very amusing. The one about games being ‘addictive’ always makes me wince. People see us gamers playing and it looks like we’re in a trance and this scares the crap out of them. Then they decry it as a brain rotting past time that they would never partake in. They then sit down and spend the next 3 hours reading a book and fail to see that they too are in a trance like state as they become engrossed in the text, assuming it’s a good book of course!
Games are not ‘addictive’. They are compelling. Just like film and literature. It’s just that they are a damn sight more interactive and it is this aspect that scares people who don’t play them.
Having said all of that, I have to agree with Joefeesh’s post above, using the excellent Tatsunoko Vs Capcom as a means to communicate each point was a sublime move. If only more Wii games were like that eh?
After playing Stronghold for 8hrs straight the only thing you can here in your head is “more wood needed”, “sire, a strange malady has infected the village” and the built in warning message “sire, you’ve not slept for days. Shouldn’t you rest?”
@krobotkin – Yeah, games are just as valid as books or film as a pastime and also develop logical skills, creative thought and can even be educational. And they can even be… fun. I know, it’s crazy.
Yeah the wii has really slacked off recently but there’s some things Id like to play on it. I think I’d play a whole lot more if it had achievements!
@Dom – I used to get that so much with tetris. I’d see blocks every time I closed my eyes!
what is the game the pictures show?
It’s Tatsunoko vs Capcom on Wii. Awesome game. Totally mental and so Japanese. You’d love it.
