gaming stigma

As an avid video gamer, I realise there is a social stigma associated with my hobby. Whenever I mention to friends , “Oh .. friday night is DOTA night”, I get a blank stare. They then ask me “You mean you want to spend a Friday night staring at a computer screen having some sort of pseudo-interaction with 9 other boys ?

To which I have no reply.

Of course, DOTA is a hobby for those of us who have no girlfriends. Any takers?
