Most of my friends can't figure out computers. I know people who play LoL but that's about it. However, I'm still a senior in high school so everybody I know is... stupid

Oh yes I have met them especially my clan mates in Cabal and in WoW before. We do still keep in touch with each other and sometimes we organize some social gatherings for ourselves and our families.

I usually don't associate too much with other PC gamers because I have my own life and stuff (like family) to attend to. But, there's plenty of them in campus, usually in the tech club.

I'm surprised by the amount of PC gamers there are. And I'm actually surprised that the PC gamers I've met are a lot cooler and often more discrete about their gaming than the usual console gamer. Off the top of my head, I know least a dozen PC gamers in real life (and I'm friends with maybe 4 of them). I've put a lot of thought into this and I'm pretty sure where you live plays a huge role in how many PC gamers you'll know. Seattle seems to have many.

At the cafeteria in campus, there's a huge number of students who game on their laptops. They're a separate crowd from the folks at the tech club who own desktop gaming PCs and bring them in for LAN sessions.

I grew up around PC gamers hence it being my preferred platform. So far, they still prefer it too.

Every single one of my friends are PC gamers ^.-

They are not rare, its not unusual, Id wager that it is WAY more commonplace then people tend to think.

But then again Im European, which is PC territory.

Most of my friends and coworkers are PC gamers. it is actually more uncommon for me to know people who don't game on PC if they game at all.

At least they're honest. I have nown several people who would pirate games and say "if it's good i'll buy it" and then never buy it.

Very rarely have i ever met anyone who actually games on a pc. Whenever i mention i have a new game, people say, "... oh, what console, ps3 or xbox? " and then hand out their gamer tag. Then i say i got the pc version and they look at me like a leper.

When I had RL friends, there were quite a few PC gamers among them. One converted to 360, I don't talk to him anymore.

Live in northern Canada and know many. Went to University (shwa) and met many more. If you really don't know anyone that shares your hobby you should try going outside more and meeting people that share interests.

Also as a 4 year graduate if I could advise one thing about post secondary education (and high school even) - join clubs, go out, meet people, even game with people in person (lans and such). If you stay locked away in your room gaming you will regret it incredibly, for a variety of reasons.
