Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

Why would their jobs dictate what you do for a living?

I'm a college recruiter and athletics director at the college I graduated from. I prefer working with athletics more than recruiting, but I don't have much choice at this point. Other than gaming and spending time with my wife and 1 year old daughter, I really like fixing things around the house, and video editing.

I color comic books. Which... probably doesn't sway the image of living in a basement. BUT I SWEAR I LIVE ON MY OWN! You believe me... right guys?! guys?!

But yeah- I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts. Just really love art in all it's forms. Painting comics sculpture animation. Everything. It is exciting to create.

I know I am not alone, but when I am not gaming, I am working on cars. Just did a quick swap of a B18B into an EG6 over the weekend with 2 other friends, a 12 pack, and an entire Sunday. Next Saturday will be an RB20 into an S14, but that job won't be as easy.

Have a Masters in business administration, was a marketing consultant, now I'm the director of marketing for a fairly large company. Played college hockey, but now I'm into mixed martial arts. I guess you could say that since I got married, I also dabble in mixed marital arts (wocka wocka). In about a month or two we'll be closing a deal on a house in an established neighborhood. Can't wait to work on gameroom 2.0.

I'm in college now but until two years ago I was a Chinese linguist in the US Navy. Besides video games: I ride road bike, run cross-country, cook/grill as much as I can, read, and I have a novel I'm working on...it'll never be finished but I'm working on it. I'm also an avid beer fan.

So I don't think I'm quite the stereotype. I will say, however, that the nerd stereotype exists for a very unfortunate reason....it's often true.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I'm a software developer for Amazon, and right now gaming is my full time hobby. I also end up seeing a lot of concerts throughout the year and am currently saving up to buy a house.
