Non-gaming people and awkardness
So recently I was watching an episode of the clueless gamer, needless to say it was funny. My grandfather thought it was a load of **** and said "Conan o'brians humor should be as dead as me at this age".

As I watched this episode of the clueless gamer, those little rascals the pixels were up to their no good shenanigans and were secretly drugging me with bi-curiosity, which got me thinking do you have any non gaming friends, do you find it awkward to talk about something from a video game from them?
Edit: I don't mean actually going into a conversation with friends that don't play games, I was referring to perhaps times you have been caught playing a game and a friend or person isn't familiar with the game and asks what on earth you are doing. Perhaps you are watching TV, a game advertisement comes up and your friend or family member or dog asks "huh Madonna is starring in her own game", and then you may reply "No that's actually Lara croft she's a fictional character, the reason her boobs are pyramids are dual to the low polygon count and to reflect on the games theme of ancient civilizations".
Perhaps that has never happened to you, but it has happened to me a few times where I'll be explaining a game to someone that has never touched a video game and they will look at me like I'm on drugs.(They do that anyway, but more so than normal) ;p
