Friends who don't game

Now I'm sure this has happened to a lot of people here. When you were younger or even now.

You go round to someone's house, you go out to town or whatever before hand. Play some football or mess
around outside for awhile. But then it rains.

You go inside and think oh well, lets play on the Ps3 or xbox, then you realize your not at home, and your friend
doesn't have any consoles. Or maybe worse they have a Wii and they've got one of those dreadful sports
resort games. Then you think to yourself what do they do in their free time? :O As I have been gaming most of
my life I just find it hard to get my head round people who have never played a videogame.

Now i'm not saying if you don't game it makes you a bad person, I'm just saying its weird that some of my
friends have never touched a games console.

Firstly, what did you do to your formatting of that text!?

Secondly, I know exactly what you mean. Your friends are the 'casual' market that is plaguing the gaming industry at the moment. I'm not sure if there is anything that can be done about it.

I like it when people say gamers have no life but they spend all their free time watching Dancing with the Stars, The New Adventures of Old Christine, and American Idol.

One of my friends, the only thing she knew about games was who Mario is. That's it. Nothing else.

Yeah, this happens to me a lot. A lot of people who say "Oh you have no life" say that they love watching t.v. Isn't that just another, boring hobby?

~Gasp~ Are you insinuating that Games are a boring hobby! Shame.

My friends are my friends because we have fun together, and we do so because we share interests, and our interests are mostly game related. So I haven't had this particular problem. However I've had my friends' friends come over to my place, and fuck those guys. They are more than clearly bored, because as sweet as my place is to be in for me and my friends, there's not a lot to do if you're not interested in games or music. So they sit there, sighing, and I know what they're thinking.

...and I'm thinking, "oh lawd, I wish I could trade everything I have for more reality TV channels, a car in constant need of fixing (or best case "pimping", you need at the very least over nine thousand subwoofers), more general "friends" (because quantity equals quality) and copious amounts of alcohol (because vomiting, passing out and remembering nothing is the best way to spend free time)". Just so I too could be part of that real life thing people keep telling me about. [url=http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/5888/1210300064121rv8ej8hn4.jpg]It seems kind of awesome[url].

All my friends game, party, or play music. It's good.

Most of my friends play video games so that's not a problem. What is a problem though is that they are all on Xbox 360 while I'm the only one who rocks the PS3. Deep down I think I got it just to be different, but they saw it as a slap in the face. They can be real fanboys from time to time. So I don't see them often and I come here for my social fix.
