Video games have had an interesting journey, in terms of how they’ve been depicted. Being a gamer used to mean that you were socially akward, living in your parent’s basement, and were addicted to Surge. You have to love old school stereotypes.

Times have definitely changed, as gaming is now main stream. It’s cool to game on. With titles like Guitar Hero, Wii Sports, everyone is getting in on the action.

Of course, as the popularity of gaming has grown, so has the depictions of people playing them. And boy, are they pretty awful. As demonstrated by this ‘the minus-world’ article. The author, agent b, scoured through stock photo sites to find images of people playing video games. Here are some of my favorites he found, with hilarious captions accompanying them.

“Hey Paulo, what say we play round of 20 year old game video before make erotic at Italian discotheque?”

“It was the best mid-80’s Special Ed School Picture Day ever for helmeted student Timmy Whisner, imagined Timmy whisner.”

“You’re on, Ryan Seacrest!”

“Oh fuck you, Ryan Seacrest!”

“We love little boys! Uh, I mean games! We love games!”
