Now ok for non-nerds to play games, just FYI

Oh, glorious day! We nerds no longer need to hide our hobbies for fear of social shame, because UPenn's college paper has just informed us that it is now acceptable for non-nerds to play video games.

The first witness the paper trots out to prove that it's ok for non-nerds to play games? Engineering student Jonathan Lehr.

And the first quote that the paper chose to show that games have overcome the stigma of antisocial behavior sometimes displayed by gamers of yore? Lehr again, yelling to his gaming buddies, "Who's player one? 'Cause I just [expletive] you up."
