November 10: Guys & Their Games

Yesterday we talked about girls and gaming... but what about teh b0yz?

Kris sent me this article about what a guy's gaming system says about him. Instead of doing my traditional "here's a link, here's a snarky comment" routine, I thought I'd ask WonderGroup what a gaming system said to them... while they mostly agreed with the article, here are a few other responses:

MICHAEL: My fianceé won't let me buy a gaming system.

JENNY: My 24-year-old son has a group of buddies that are married. Since they can never leave the house because their wives won't let them, they get the headphones on, call each other and play games together on the Wii. I think that's classic.

JOHN: A guy to his Xbox 360 is the moral equivalent of a car buff to a Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

RIED: A guy over 30 shouldn't have any of these systems.

EMILY: PS3 = a bachelor with no social skills and lots of money to burn.

Go read the article to see how WG stacked up with the experts' opinions... then check out this other article about how video gaming is no longer an "old boys club." (Thanks again, Kris!)
