Long time friend with great ideas, you should follow him.
At one point and time, being a gamer felt much like being a martyr, you got to partake in something that was very enjoying and fulfilling, but every now and then when the fact was made public with non-gamers you felt like your face was smashed repeatedly into a concrete surface. Today, I don’t worry about that. Millions of people have played World of Warcraft, nobody with common sense accuses me of worshipping Satan if I play Dungeons & Dragons and advertisers spend lots of money targeting my demographic which has led to the public at large to be indoctrinated with the message that I knew many years ago, the message that gaming is fun. I see a different problem within the gaming community these days, a problem that can be traced to the past. That problem is publicity. While we as gamers, have developed a remarkable infrastructure through forums, podcasts and all other forms of technological media it is all designed as a whole for individuals already looking for that type of content. How do we reach the rest of the population to let those who have never been invited into our fold know the enjoyable hobby that exists if they are willing? Today, I want to go over a few ideas I have had on this topic since I was able to play a game of Warhammer 40,000’s Kill Team out on the sidewalk, during a street fair in Reading, PA, thanks to Eric Bates (view my post last Wednesday to see more information on how that worked.)
It’a an hour and twenty minutes, but damn about an hour of it is amazing.
Wha?
They (Hollywood money douches) will be re-making The Crow. This movie does not need to be relaunched. My mind is spinning with hatred and rage at this point so I’m not going to type much, but I’ll just say, “NO!”

Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk.
This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days.Myth #2 – Introverts are shy.
Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking. Don’t worry about being polite.Myth #3 – Introverts are rude.
Introverts often don’t see a reason for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which they find exhausting.Myth #4 – Introverts don’t like people.
On the contrary, Introverts intensely value the few friends they have. They can count their close friends on one hand. If you are lucky enough for an introvert to consider you a friend, you probably have a loyal ally for life. Once you have earned their respect as being a person of substance, you’re in.Myth #5 – Introverts don’t like to go out in public.
Nonsense. Introverts just don’t like to go out in public FOR AS LONG. They also like to avoid the complications that are involved in public activities. They take in data and experiences very quickly, and as a result, don’t need to be there for long to “get it.” They’re ready to go home, recharge, and process it all. In fact, recharging is absolutely crucial for Introverts.Myth #6 – Introverts always want to be alone.
Introverts are perfectly comfortable with their own thoughts. They think a lot. They daydream. They like to have problems to work on, puzzles to solve. But they can also get incredibly lonely if they don’t have anyone to share their discoveries with. They crave an authentic and sincere connection with ONE PERSON at a time.Myth #7 – Introverts are weird.
Introverts are often individualists. They don’t follow the crowd. They’d prefer to be valued for their novel ways of living. They think for themselves and because of that, they often challenge the norm. They don’t make most decisions based on what is popular or trendy.Myth #8 – Introverts are aloof nerds.
Introverts are people who primarily look inward, paying close attention to their thoughts and emotions. It’s not that they are incapable of paying attention to what is going on around them, it’s just that their inner world is much more stimulating and rewarding to them.Myth #9 – Introverts don’t know how to relax and have fun.
Introverts typically relax at home or in nature, not in busy public places. Introverts are not thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies. If there is too much talking and noise going on, they shut down. Their brains are too sensitive to the neurotransmitter called Dopamine. Introverts and Extroverts have different dominant neuro-pathways. Just look it up.Myth #10 – Introverts can fix themselves and become Extroverts.
Introverts cannot “fix themselves” and deserve respect for their natural temperament and contributions to the human race. In fact, one study (Silverman, 1986) showed that the percentage of Introverts increases with IQ.Completely describes me.
