I'm a geek - I read fantasy novels, I play 'World of Warcraft,' I'm a massive gamer, I have 'Star Trek' outfits.

There are people who are very dismissive of games and gamers.

My friends are all geeks. And many of them are scientists who love playing outside as much as I do.

So many people love sci-fi, and they're so loyal.

Right now, more people enjoy movies, music, television and movies than they do video games.

I should say I am not much of a gamer - anymore. The reason for this is that I have to make a living, and my body requires vitamin D, and I've come to value the heady pleasures of human interaction over the temporary exhilaration of reaching the 'next level.'

Gamers are everywhere, coming in all ages and genders, and developers have grown up, too.

As others have recently suggested, the term 'gamer' is no longer useful as an identity because games are for everyone. These days, even my mom spends an inordinate amount of time gaming on her iPad. So I'll take a cue from my younger self and say I don't care about being a 'gamer,' but I sure do love video games.

Everyone has played video games at some point these days, and video games are fun.

I can't believe that I was one of those people who said 'I'm not really a sci-fi fan.'
