Board Games... Negative Meaning

It seems the more I try to figure out my own subculture community it seems that those in the subculture community see me the observer as some sort of alien threat. When I walk into the game stores I slowly notice that there are people who are so speciallized in their hobbys that they forget about those outside of it. It seems so strange at first because I was always apart of the hobby scene back in hawaii, however trying to join new people in their activities almost seems scary because its like a small cult in a way.

People in the community love some of the ideas if they are open to positive change, but some people resented it with hate unless it purely served a utilitarian role. Utilitarian meaning a direct Use.

A few ideas i have been trying to figure out is a way to transport Cards, Miniatures, Counters, and Dice in a more fashionable sense... also make catagories for different kinds of comics. The sizes of American comics seem to be too large for the average person to store... even japanese manga takes up loads of space... I learned that people think of comics as just super hero things and that really the definition for comic is what the book world calls a Visual Book or an Illustration which leads the person seeing it to think it is a more professional thing than a comic... but a comic is the same thing except called something else...

The social aspect is directly connected to the design of the game... and after discovering this... i learned that only very few games are social... Magic The Gathering, Clix, and Warmachine franchises are barely social... however the approach of Privateet Press makers of Warmachine keeps prices high while making the game easy to expand and easy to learn. The games Privateeer Press makes are easy to dive in and dive out from 30 minutes-1 hour long games. About the time in a movie which is also a form of Escapism... all media is Escapism, but the amount in hobby games has been overbearing in the past 20 years. I hope that more companies like Privateer Press invade the hobby industry....

The main way to keep things good with a game socially is to make it so you still have a life outside of it. Reason why most videogames are ideal for this except for the existence of the MMORPG...
