Well all my gaming friends are mainly online. At university there are a lot of gaming nerds, but honestly, I haven't seen any hint of actual good gaming taste from them, so I don't bother to talk about games to them. A lot of people in Australia are fairly ignorant about video games, especially RPG's.
However, the majority of my friends made in high school and my last university course are more into music, composing and remixing, etc. So I find joy in chatting about all that stuff.
