don't want to upset anyone here (and i'm sure none of you guys would fit this description) but gamers i know are a bit strange. my housemate wierds my sister out a little for instance because he's into those online games like counterstrike or whatever. she's been to a number of war-torn countries now (she's a photographer) and seen the effects it has on people. so for people to glorify the horror of war and make a game out of it- well...
the most hardcore game i've enjoyed is age of empires! and commando on my cab

anyway, i mention this because if my housemate looked more like this i wouldn't mind so much:
