Every gamer knows that it can be tough when you're dealing with someone who doesn't play video games. "Why do you waste your time on that stuff?" You have probably heard before. Well, Spawn Kill's Snarkasaur takes a humorous look at the subject, offering up five ways you can defend your hobby to non-gamers.

All of a sudden their judgement goes straight out the window and you might even get them to buy you The Beatles: Rock Band because you can’t afford it because McDonald’s fired you for being about to die. If you can splash some water on your face and maybe stutter a little, all the better. And if they ask what disease you’re fighting, you can either make something up (I always use Black-Celled Ascropriasis), there are plenty of catch-all diseases out there that aren’t visible under close scrutiny. And if you’re really serious, bust out a copy of Trauma Center and tell them you were trying to figure out how to do your own surgery because your HMO wouldn’t cover your particular type of syphilitosaurus. If they don’t cry while watching your hand shake as you attempt to remove someone’s liver in game, then they have no soul and you shouldn’t care what they think anyway.
