Hello everyone! :)
I have a question for you all relating to portable gaming. I want to know how you feel about playing video games when you're out and about. The question came to me when I had a conversation with someone online. I mentioned that I enjoy playing video games during my lunch break, to which they replied that such a thing is a problem and "A bit sad".
Do you feel at all embarrassed or anxious when you play video games in public? Do you like playing games on the go? Or, do you enjoy playing portable consoles at home? Why?! :O
There is so much pondering to be done regarding portable gaming, especially in the era of mobile phones! Dedicated portable gaming has evolved too and I wonder if these changes have had any effect on your perception of playing games on the go.
When we consider now how close portable gaming devices are able to replicate a home console experience with devices like the PS Vita and 3DS and streaming games to your mobile phone; For those who prefer home console gaming, does the idea of playing larger scale games on the go interest you? If not, why?

I personally like to play portable games on the go. It is only rather recent however that I would play them in public since getting over anxieties that it was perceived as an odd thing to do. I started to take notice that in truth, people barely pay any attention to you. Personally, I find it can be very enjoyable, especially when I decide to eat out for lunch or take long bus journeys home. I never had a problem with portable consoles though. I didn't mind playing them at home and the lowering of performance compared to home console gaming doesn't bother me since I generally enjoy the interactive experience over the visual fidelity.
