I haven't encountered anyone like that yet, but I wouldn't doubt that such people exist. There are some people who, for whatever reason, be they religious or just plain nutters, are sheltered for most of their lives. My niece and nephews are growing up without a TV, and that is just fine. They don't need it. But, not having one will hinder any "current events" assignments they need to do. But, also, due to not being exposed to the media, they will also not be very informative (I guess) when it comes to the latest gaming systems, or even gaming in general. So, I can see them becoming those types of people who haven't a clue about gaming history.
Thankfully, though, they have me. I'm the family's ultra-nerd. They need to be caught up on something nerdy, they come to me.
But anyway, it's certainly plausible that there will be people who have not a single clue about gaming history. Like Amish people. Think they'd know about the Dreamcast?
But yeah, I have no idea where I was going with this.
This is like me complaining about people not knowing anything about Terry Pratchett,Such people even exist? That can't be right.
This is like me complaining about people not knowing anything about Terry Pratchett, or the Wheel of Time series.Who and what?
Who and what?
Oh and most non gamer call any console "Playstation".I remember that. usually they were the same people who pronounced Pokemon as "Poekeymans"
O^OHey, I can't know everything >.>
Disc World series~ <3
I remember that. usually they were the same people who pronounced Pokemon as "Poekeymans"Well, I'm glad my parent can distinguish between the PS1,2 and 3..though they don't know about X-box and Wii and frankly, I don't blame them. Those don't get advertised as much if at all. Also, If I wouldn't visit videogame based sites, I would have never heard of the N64, Dreamcast, Saturn and frankly not even the Genesis.
Also, Zero, are you sure it wasnt an adult? like, say, someone in their 40's -60's? Because I know I couldnt get my parents to remember a console name to save my life.
they are also the ones that blame everything on videogames.
Didn't know where to post this, so I did it here. Sue me.*headdesk* *headdesk* *headdesk* *headdesk* *HEADDESK* *HEADDESK*
Call this a rant topic if you will, but I am honestly APPALLED at the number of people OLDER THAN ME who don't know what a Genesis or N64 is. I swear, half the internet is going "HERP DERP XBOX360 HAS BEEN AROUND FOR MILLIONS OF YEERS!". Honestly, I, just earlier today, asked a guy if he remembered the N64 days, and he was like "N64? Is that some new thing you kids are playing?". I know it wasn't sarcasm, because I literally had to educate him on what it was, and in the end he was like "OOOHHH, I thought Gamecube was the first one".
This puts 4/5's of RPM on the ban button for stupid topic. Let discussion ensue.
These people, like the one you mentioned, are idiots on so many levels that I almost fainted.
*headdesk* *headdesk* *headdesk* *headdesk* *HEADDESK* *HEADDESK*You sir, are an idiot. Go to the corner and think about what you said and don't get back until you've relised your wrongs.
I haven't even played the SNES, N64, PlayStation (first), GameCube, Genesis, Saturn, etc. and yet I know they exist. These people, like the one you mentioned, are idiots on so many levels that I almost fainted.
Please don't give gamers and even worse reputationOkay, what am I doing wrong?
You sir, are an idiot. Go to the corner and think about what you said and don't get back until you've relised your wrongs.What, I'm an idiot for not touching these things but still acknowledging their existence?
not having one will hinder any "current events" assignments they need to do.Even with a TV, I mean--
Okay, what am I doing wrong?What, I'm an idiot for not touching these things but still acknowledging their existence?NO! You are an idiot because you call others idiots for stupid reasons. One doesn't have to know about everything. Calling someone idiot because he doesn't know everything is idiotic.

I'm an idiot for not touching these things but still acknowledging their existence?No. You're an idiot, because you just generally called people who aren't THAT MUCH interested in those things/got into gaming this generation/CASUALS idiots.
CASUALS idiots:o
:oWat.
...
God help us.
Wat.It was a joke, really. I don't believe in the hardcore/casual distinction, but apparently, casuals are second worst to the Charles Manson cult, so it was sort of an "OH MY GOD THIS NEW BRAND OF INTERNET RETARD" statement.
What are you on about?
So I guess that mentality people my age have where "you don't keep up with all current events, whether useful or useless, you are an outcast of society" is just a piece of [parasitic bomb] now, isn't it? Snobby, holier-than-thou bastards. (Not you guys, my "fellow" high school dicks.) No wonder my high school life was a piece of [parasitic bomb].And now you are a hyppocrite
And now you are a hyppocriteWhat the [tornado fang] are you talkin' about, dude? It just rubbed off on me.
Dexter, I understand... I think.Something like that, yes.
So in that post, you're saying that the mentality of "You don't keep up with us? YOU'RE A [tornado fang]ing IDIOT!" is crap, because you understood that what you said was wrong of you, and that you said it only because your mind was warped beyond repair (seemingly) by the "high school dicks".
Did I got that right?
How the hell am I 'making a fool of myself'? Apparently you don't get the gist of my posts...I understood your post, it was just the way you're defending yourself. Ugh, I don't like people like that
