N4G breaks the poop barrier

Who would have thought that an ad for diapers on the top of the N4G could elicit such a glowing response from anyone?

From the article: "The fact that this ad appeared on this site, while probably ranking seriously low on the gaming news Richter scale, was like a sign for me. A sign that gaming, in the eyes of advertisers, presents a much stronger and diverse audience than the glassy-eyed pimply teenager with a baggy under his mattress. It's news, (the good kind) to me, because it means "they" know I'm here, and there must be enough of us round these parts living a family life to warrant an ad campaign..."

The author goes on to poll readers on what sort of demographic they fit into.

1.3 - It had to happen at some point in time
I still remember the NES under the Christmas tree when I was 8 or so. All those kids are going to grow up some day and, a good portion of them are going to stick with the hobby througout their lives.

I see this as a sort of turning point where video games becomes a more widely accepted form of entertainment. Maybe one day we'll see gaming competitions on ESPN2.

Maybe its for those players who can't pull them selves away from their game long enough to go to the toilet.

RTFA Asshat!

Edit @Cloud360 - It means "Read The F!@#ing Article" before you go saying something stupid and go rambling on about something you know nothing about. What you have done here is admirable, in defending N4G. However you came off like a small child that walks into a the middle of a movie, and wants to know what it's about. Reading will help alleviate future problems of this nature.

All he did was take that Jack Thompson approach.
Passing judgement without really knowing what he's judging.

I guess people on Madison Ave. and other marketing hotspots, are miraculously starting to realize that there are people that have been playing games since the late seventies early eighties and will continue to play them until they die.

Some of these geniuses think that all gamers weren't born 'til after the formation of Porno for Pyros.
