Today, I overheard a girl and a guy sitting behind me on the bus who were talking about Skyrim, one of my favourite games. After a while, I turned around and, as a fellow gamer, thanked them for restoring my faith in humanity. They went very quiet. I'm now that weird guy on the bus. FML

Today, while watching a movie on my iPad, a really cute girl sat next to me. Suddenly, everyone on the bus started clapping. I started to clap very loudly as well, asking the girl why we were clapping. She gave me a strange look. I then realized the applause was coming from my headphones. FML

Today, a girl started talking to me at the bus stop. After it descended into an awkward silence, I jumped on my bus to avoid further conversation. She got on the same bus. And got off at the same stop. I swear the whole bus could feel the tension. FML

Today, I had a rough day and just let it all out while I was gaming. A random stranger actually replied to me, genuinely concerned, and I proceeded to vent about all my problems. It was only after they left that I realized a random stranger on the Internet now cares more about my mental health than my own family. FML

Today, while riding the bus, a creepy guy gave me the "rape glare" and another guy repeated every word to the conversation I was having with my friend under his breath. FML

Today, I was riding a bus. After having a conversation with my friend, I looked down and saw a little boy looking at me. He asked, "Are you a boy or a girl?" As if that wasn't bad enough, when I responded that I was a girl, he said, "Oh. So, why do you have a boy voice then?" FML

Today, while on a crowded public bus, a cute girl asked if she could sit next to me. Problem is, I didn't hear correctly and thought she asked if anyone was sitting next to me. I answered no, causing her to walk off angrily and earning me several disgusted stares from other passengers. FML

Gamers care

Today, I was interacting with someone on a video game, and the topic somehow got switched to mental illness. When I told him about my problems, he was very sympathetic and understanding. A complete stranger cares more about me than my actual family. I'm not sure if I should be happy or crying. FML

Today, as I walked on to the bus, the girl I liked whispered something to her friend. Curious, I asked what was so funny. She said she never realized that when I got on, I shook the bus. FML

Today, while I was gaming, a girl using voice chat was probably the most polite person I have ever encountered in my life. It was only after I logged off that I realized she spoke to me with more affection and respect than my own mother ever has in my entire life. FML

Today, I said thanks to a man who got up for me in the bus. He angrily said "no, not you!". The old lady who sat down is now staring at me. FML

Relax. You were probably that weird guy on the bus WAY before this incident.

"So I'm a stormcloak and you're an imperial, does that make..." "OMG you restored my faith in humanity." -__- *awkward silence* yea I think that made you weird.

What makes a game good is how fun it is to play. Skyrim creates a world and let's you explore it to your hearts content, and makes it fun to explore. If you're looking for art then go play Shadow of the Colossus or Journey.

Well this WAS a reply to someone else, but fml has been putting my comments all over the place lately so I guess it could be worse.

Shadow of The Colossus and Journey were fun as well, though. Video games should ideally be a mix of art and fun.

I picture you with glasses, big greasy hair and a really nasally voice using exaggerated hand gestures to express yourself to these people, which tells me exactly why you scared the shit out of them.

Do you wear a jacket that's 2 sizes too big and have long shaggy hair? You're probably really scrawny. That's how I've imagined you.

Clearly your speech skill just wasn't high enough. But kudos for at least proving people wrong that games arn't socially inept.... Oh, wait...

Faith in humanity because people play one of your favorite games? Lame. Worry about more important stuff.

They were having a private conversation, one that you were not invited to join in on. Sorry but you just dont butt into other peoples conversations (especially if you dont know them!!). Its rude and weird.
