The Hidden Gamers of The World

The Hidden Gamers of The World

Just about every friday i go to a Magic The Gathering tournament for the TCG version of the game. About every friday there are anywhere from 35 to 50 people there. Just about noone there i recognize from my school or people i know so it makes me think, where are the rest of these gamers whether there playing video games on the computer, consoles or just regular tabletop games. In my time of schooling i have seen lots of groups of kids playing Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh, and handheld games. Even though i play those games openly, when i go near them and when anyone else goes near them they hide the fact that they are playing these games. So it makes me wonder just how many hidden gamers that are out there who are just scared to tell or show people that they are playing these games, whether they are just nervous about it because they dont want people to think differently of them. I even used to be like this but then i got to a point where i didnt give a shit about what people thought so now i am open about my gaming hobbies and people can suck it if they have a problem with it. So I would like to know if there are any hidden gamers out there who are reading this and if so, leave a comment and we will get in touch and play a game or two one day and ill show you that its okay to broadcast it, it can even help you make new friends.
