Hey, We're Popular Again!

Well what do you know? Gaming, it would seem, has just resurface as an entertainment source that people care about. We've had our squabbles with many things - law, society, bees - and yet finally people have realised how much we've grown into their lives.
What is a gamer? Well, its highly likely that the answer to that question it you. Because Gaming isn't a geek fetish any more. You don't need a bedroom, or a dark basement. You don't need madskillz or a disinclination towards personal hygeine. But you know what's confused the Mass Market the most? You don't need a console, you don't need a PC and now you don't even need to touch anything (to be fair, see also here).
Gaming is everywhere, like it or not. People bash away at Snake idly on their phones, they wave their hands madly at the TV screen with the Eyetoy, they click around their Spider Solitaire as aimlessly as if they were doodling on a Post-it Note. All of you - every single one of you. You are the New Age of gamers.
The Softcore gamers, those of you who probably have no idea who you are, need to wake up and smell the polygons. The gaming world is growing, expanding, and this post is just for you guys. Go forth and multi-play, as the awful product slogan went, and enjoy the games of today. Tomorrow, who knows? You didn't know you were playing on the train to work today. You probably won't know you're playing at work tomorrow. Enjoy what games have to offer, and don't be fooled by the world of the mass media.
Keep gaming, for tomorrow is all for the taking.
