At this point it might be wise for game designers to get imput from the gamers that actually play the games.

I've been pondering the question of geekness for the past 20 years.
Since the day my dad brought home an Atari 2600 when I was 10 and put it in the living room i've been addicted to video games almost to the point of unhealthy obsession.
As I've grown up, I've watched the industry change and I've changed with it. My hobbies have always some way or another coexisted with what the coolest new game gimmick was.
When shooters were all the rage I would play paintball on the weekend.
When racing games were the new niche I bought a gas powered RC car to race around.
When RPG's hit big, the time I didn't spend playing them was put to use with those crazy card games like Magic the Gathering and playing Dungeons and Dragons.
Now I've got a new vice and it's name is Guitar Hero. However, I don't think I'm gonna go out and get guitar lessons just because I think I can rock out, lol.
