I must speak up here, When my mom had her stroke it was my gamer
friends and church who rallied to my side (my church is gamer
friendly) not the guys who see everything as evil or bad without them
the wheel chair ramp would not have been built, the cats would not
have been given the care and attention they needed, let's talk about
the people who purchased food for us and cooked so we didn't have to
worry about it. I will take gamers over the anti game crowd any day.
