If you were my son, I'd be proud.This. I'd take you out for a dinner at your favorite restaurant.
Quoted by a Mod. Call me a suck up, but I feel pretty damn awesome right now.

I like how people are actually looking at what people are doing and noticing games having a much larger impact on how we develop as people without being outside.
People call gamers or computer nerds social outcasts who don't go out and socialize. Instead we are on the computer talking to many more people around the world than those people complaining about us.
We learn real life techniques and improve our knowledge much faster than any previous generation ever could.
It's about time employers saw that a gamer can be a good employee because of their hobby.
Now I don't know about that.
We call people nerds or social outcasts, because when they're forced into the real world, they don't socialize outside of their comfort zone: They sit around, play their games, and don't try to make connections with other people; they don't do anything else besides that.
While they are building limited social skills, they're not experiencing the full spectrum of human contact, and in a work environment, you need to be able to communicate with all your co-workers, and maybe even customers. If you can't speak to a person face to face because you're used to typing away behind a keyboard, then you're not going to last long in the corporate world.
I'm not dismissing these claims, or your claims, mind you. We just have to think of other scenarios too.
