Ever had someone come up to you and say “Excuse me, Onyx…”?

Well, now’s the time to celebrate your likeness to the Pokémon you’re always being mistaken for!

Video Games: More Productive Than Real Life

Most of us have been the victim in this scenario: You’re playing a video game, and someone you know (usually a parent or partner) leaves and returns later in the day to find you in the exact same place, still playing that video game. Then, instead of commending you for your commitment, they proclaim “Have you really been playing that thing all day?!” They try to shame you, emphasising that they spent their time doing grown-up things and just being generally superior. But they are wrong.

What can you do in a day of real life activities? Pay some bills, do a bit of shopping, get coffee with a friend, etc. That’s about it. What can you do in a day of video game playing? Rescue a princess, prevent an apocalypse, solve crimes, annihilate a terrorist organisation, and much more. Take Skyrim for example. In a single day of Skyrim playing, you can save a town from a dragon, battle wolves on mountain peaks, and solve a ghost problem. That’s a hell of a lot more than just buying some new socks and cleaning your kitchen.

So, next time someone walks in on you playing a game and says “Have you really been playing that thing all day?!”, you look them in the eye and tell them every single thing you’ve achieved in that game. Then, when you’ve told them everything, calmly ask them:

“What the fuck have you done today?”

Why Gamers Make Better Lovers

While gamers may not be portrayed as the most social or physically fit people, there is one area in which we excel at. What area is that exactly? Sex. I believe that the life of a gamer equips them with skills that increase their performance in the bedroom. Here’s why:

- All of those hours spent smashing the buttons of controllers didn’t go to waste. While you’re pulling the right trigger to kill Covenant aliens and figuring out the correct button combination to defeat Bowser, you’re crafting your hands into fine-tuned love machines. Who wouldn’t appreciate their partner being equipped with strong fingers and dexterous hands they can use for hours on end?

- A gamers mind works in high scores and achievements, which transfers over into the bedroom. Their competitiveness will encourage them to get better and better with each play through/session of love making. Combine that with their goals to unlock personal achievements, such as “Last Longer Than Her Ex” and “Do It On His Parents Bed”, and you’ve got yourself quite a determined lover.

- If someone spends their time completing seasons in NBA 2K11 or trying to solo Onyxia in World Of Warcraft, chances are they’re going to have a lot of free time on their hands. Therefore, they’re going to have a lot of free time to get down and dirty with you. That is, of course, if you can tear them away from whatever they’re playing.
