I have a lot of friends that are pretend video game players. As in, they keep up with news of the big-name-games and amiably chat with me about them... but secretly haven't really played or beaten a game since childhood. Like my friend who bought a PS3 the day of release, purchased a launch game he never opened, and a year later found out at my house that there's a Playstation Store. I don't get it, but whatever.

But I do have at least one friend that comes over regularly and is all too pleased to watch me play games, or join in on something multiplayer. And most of even my pretend gamer friends own DS's and love to get together for a Tetris DS tournament. So it's not too bad.
