We love when tipsters write in to shoot the breeze, tell of summer flings, and of course send in rocking tips. Just today via email, Joystiq reader Angie Jernejcic shares her new found love for games: "I'm just getting into gaming, and I'm loving it [cue annoying McDonald's theme here]. Games like Brain Age, Tomb Raider, and Shadow of the Colossus are changing my preconceived notions about games. Before: A waste of time... Now: Completely enraptured."
In addition, the email's subject line read: "New gamer, be gentle." That got this oh-so-deep thinking blogger to ponder: Just how inclusive are gamers to newbies? Do we like to share the mass gore and evil fun that are video games, or do we want to keep the digital, thug lifestyle only with those that "get it?" I personally jump at the chance to have the wife excited about a game (it's rare, but happens). Why is that?
