Gaming is new and gets itself a bad name. They see mass murders and a kid playing Call of duty and put 2 and 2 together. But its not.
Its exposed me to my best of friends, and has made me much more accepting. I have met people from Maine to Alaska. I have Australians and people from the Netherlands. Gaming has made me see the world bigger, and has made me more intelligent in the process. Without gaming, I would not have met half to people I have, and I wold have just been some sad nerd that ignored at school with nothing to do but sulk in the corner. Gaming has even ipmorved my relationship with my dad, where we always talk about things going on in Terraria and League of Legends.
They can label me an antisocial serial killer for playing Halo, but I am talking to people in countries they haven't even heard of.
