Default Not-So-Average-Gamers shatter stereotypes


"IZ ON UR XBox360. EARNING U ACHIEVEMENTS."


Not-So-Average-Gamers (photo piece) | MSNBC
Msnbc.com readers share photos of themselves and loved ones enjoying games

This is a kind of photo album in progress of the diversity of passionate gamers like you and me that's partly a visual "F#@% YOU!" to ignorant types out there who still characterize us as anti-social unhealthy overweight (or underfed) nerds in dark basements shooting aliens or planning school massacres inspired by pixelated violence.

Your fellow gamers who share their pics range from classic geeks to athletes to a family of black belts in taekwando to grandmothers to young parents of infants. You're also invited to share your pic.

w00t.
