A monologue, because I can
People ask me why I am a gamer. They don't understand what's so rewarding about being one, or the things I do having any sense. This is my rebuttal to them, something I'd like to share with the world. Enjoy.
There are three hundred and fifty games released each year…
Four hundred and seventy two different ways to play them…
There is a valiant swordfighter named Leeroy Jenkins whom we all honour…
There are knights and brave warriors right in the homes of our native land today…
The given populace does not appreciate our efforts in creating new and creative ideas…
Our lands scorn us with the stigma of being unwashed thirty-somes in our parents basement…
But we have dreams people, we have truths that go under appreciated in our very lives!
Our families support our lives, our god-given right to create our lives in the way we feel is true and just!
We do not sit around all day anymore, we have lives!
Gamers have sat in political office, created movies, television, books and media!
Our very society hinges on creative thought upon which choose to change our world with!
There is fantasy in reality, as we can change the lives of those whom meet us!
We will throw off the shackles of indignation and scorn!
Our lives is our own! Our duty is our own!
We love music both metal and country!
We read books both children’s and adult!
We breathe the air which we separate politically, but know to be the same air upon each we breathe!
We play sports, our actions guide us through games!
We write poetry and music, our sorrow and heartfelt sentiment just and true!
This is our life, and no one can take it from us, we have a right to live how we feel!
People! This is our freedom, we are Gamers, and we know when to throw that D20 down!
To pick up that controller!
To show people the grandness of another world!
And to accept those who are within our grasp as real people!
Not to allow them to scorn us!
Or dismiss our hobby as childish and friendless!
We have a mission, and that is to show them that we are not social stigmas!
Our lives are our own! Our duty is the same! We need to create our world within a world who does not understand what we can do, or HAVE done in the era of mankind!
My name is Shaun, and I AM A GAMER! GOOD NIGHT!
And also, watch the first bit and I DARE you to tell me that it isn't almost a direct port of a Harry Potter movie opening.
