Lion is over on gaming side making sure no one mistakes him for a gamer. He's just a brother that plays games.

I had some good brisket in Dallas...man I have never had brisket before that moment and I was in awe.

I have family in North Carolina but I have never had good sweet tea there. I need someone to ship me something up.

If someone at work asks me what type of games I play in real life I'm like 2k and Madden

When in reality I just platinum'd Horizon last week and haven't touched a sports game in years.

I would never call myself a gamer though I don't think otherwise of others that do. I just don't identify with gaming culture and I know how it is perceived. Now if it is one of my boys I'll tell them that I sunk 100 hours in 1 week into a RPG without any care.

Just beat the first ending of Nier. Who knew this game would awaken my inner mecha fan.

It's awkward because that game really does seem to be pretty bad regarding facial animation and dialogue, but at the same time it just gives everyone a free pass to do the most with their dislike of the game.

I'm finding the videos hilarious but yeah staying out of the threads for exactly this reason.

When enough of GAF decides that they hate a game the threads start becoming insufferable.

For the most part I just don't let games come up in conversation. When they do I'll talk about it but refuse to call myself a gamer (agreed: fuck that label).

If games do come up I don't shy away at all from my obsession of Overwatch.

But yeah It's been a long ass time since I have labeled myself as a gamer.

It's not uncommon for a guy in my office to randomly mention how they are going to pick up a Xbox 1 or PS4 and then the topic starts up. It happens very naturally. But so far no one in my office plays RPGs. Which is funny since a recently new friend of mine that I grabbed ramen with yesterday use to play competitively in Dota 2.

It's becoming a big hate boner now. I'm on the fence with the game but I'm sure it is still a great game.

I'll bring games up in conversation with other people who I know play games. It's funny when I'm speaking to someone and they start that sports game stuff and I start talking about NFL Street 2. It's not a sports game only thing, it apparently HAS to be Madden.

That "friend zone" thread is weird. From the fact the dudes in there are using it as a legitimate thing.

It's a method that your mind uses to rationalize the paradox that you can still be an attractive person without everyone finding you attractive.

A conventional term is when someone lacks commitment.

I get what you mean, the mention of there being zones is bizzare to me, its not difficult communicating and being straight forward with what you want.

FWB is a mutual agreement for no strings attached, just like poly relationships are for a whole different agreement. If its not mutual then you move on and theres no zone to speak of, just move on.

I wasn't fully serious, I was making it up on the spot 'cause that was what I was dealing with (more like, not dealing with any longer). I haven't used the word "zone" since I was like, 14.
