I have 591 friends right now. How many of those am I actually good GOOD friends with? Maybe 100. How many of those 100 do I actually care to see status updates from? Maybe 50. How many of those 50 actually care about video games like me? Maybe 5.
You see something wrong with those numbers?
I just posted some youtube links on my wall that are some of my favorite video-game tracks ever, orchestrated. Why? because that was what I was listening to at the time and I like sharing awesome stuff. But, the sad fact is; nobody on my friend's list really gives a shit. And if they do take notice, it's going to be a post saying "wow, dude your such a geek!!" (in fact I just got a txt from a "close" friend basically saying that).
That's why I have shied away from such things in the past. I know the outcome. I can post "I drank coffee this morning and it was good!!" as my status, and I'll have 20 likes before nightfall. I post something I actually care about (video games), everybody acts like I'm a weirdo. If it wasn't for my brothers, sister, and a few close friends... I wouldn't have anyone to talk gaming with.
But I want to change that.
As of now I am opening my Facebook page to all my Neogaf buddies. Why?
1. Neogaf is a huge part of my life.
2. I probably have more in common with most gaffers then I do with most of my real-life friends.
3. A chance to get to know people who love gaming.
4. Feel more free and open to discuss gaming on facebook.
5. To see the actual gaffers behind the mask (avatar).
So if you are having the same feelings and/or want another gaming friend, feel free to add me and/or post your information here.

Otherwise, you can discuss how many people on your friends list aren't really your friends. I'll set the bar at: 350 people
