As Opposed to PASSIVELY Gathering More Lard on my Arse?

I mentioned in passing to a nice lady at work how I had to save my wife on my 360 game "Alan Wake" and some other, interjecting dimwit said something about "Men and their toys".

I let it pass, but I shouldn't have.

I mean, I guess I see how someone enraptured by soap operas might think they have room to look down on us gamers. After all, it takes so much brain power to process which whore is cuckolding her man this week, doesn't it?
