Everybody plays video games. From tetris to bejeweled to Halo to Mario. I doesn't seem plausible that an entire class would alienate you because you plYed it. I went to a catholic elentary school and I know what you are talking about, but maybe it's the way you came across as a gamer. Well if what you are saying is true and they hated you because you played games...what a bunch of freaks
Oot is fun and I think I've beaten it only twice. Awesome and lengthy game, perfect for escapism

I was in a similar situation in school but luckily in my last year I fell in with a crowd who liked games as much as me.... then we all split up for college :(
Great post!
I was lucky enough to have friends all through school who shared the same interests as me (videogames, heavy metal, movies), but I can imagine how hard it must have been to feel like no one related to you.
Sounds like you've turned out just fine, though! :)

I went through a similar situation in high school. I might just have to write a blog about it actually. This was a lovely story. Thank you for sharing.

I don't think I came off as a pushy person and I did talk a lot about video games because it was something I was into. I never knew why they that I was weird for liking video games.

Wow. For much of middle school (and freshman year) I was also alienated for enjoying video games.
People are less judgmental about that now, but I didn't know I was the only one to face that. I did have four or five good friends throughout middle, though, who kept me afloat.
If you didn't write this already I'd be all over this topic.

Good Choice on that videogame. I really enjoy this blog. But a Cotholic school like that? So mine was just too awesome? Wow.
Damn, that was quick! Hopefully, everyone here had a tough time in school at some point. I don't wouldn't want to hang out with any of you if you were all the 'cool' kids from school. Those guys were dicks.
There is a missing word in the last sentence of the second paragraph. Just a heads up. Nice post!

Very nice story. Fapped.
I'll never quite understand why you could be alienated for playing video games. I guess I'm lucky that pretty much every boy and some of the girls in my middle school had at least played some video games in their lives, so as "the dude who plays a lot of video games" I didn't get too ostracized.
It's a damn good thing you didn't let any of the crap you took get to you, though.
