But... you used the term New Age Gamer...
A New Age Gamer would be the person defending the New Age game, not the person arguing against the New Age game. You're making fun of yourself then coming up with a definition for the term with no explanation at all.
rant involving xbox
Every time you begin, get into or end this argument you make yourself sound like a New Age Kid or w/e the fuck you're calling these people. The statement you made above is probably the most ironic thing and likely one of the funniest things I have ever read concerning this argument.
They're called new age gamers because they're (typically) the idiots who came into the gaming thing late. They have some superior attitude despite the fact that they don't understand how to overcome simple obstacles.
It's not somebody who enjoys new games, it's somebody who doesn't understand games. It's this new attitude where if you aren't winning there's obviously a problem with the game and not with you. (and let me state for the record...I don't think you're winning) Most of all, it's not necessarily somebody who's new to gaming, but has this new idea that you shouldn't have to adapt.
If you would have read you would have seen that i said we don't call people this as an insult. It's a term we use among ourselves. So that if we're all joining each other games at different times, we don't have to got through the process of learning who to mute and ignore.
As for the kid thing you're right. I call everybody kid and it's really a problem. People 5 or more years older than me get pissed because I call pretty much everybody i don't care about kid.
Didn't mean to make a whole deal out of this. (a prime example of why we don't use it as an insult.)

And dude,...it's my term. I get to define it not you. like lol.
*quick edit* (mocking fashion)
funny thing about the word pretentious, is i'd actually have to PRETEND to be better than you.
But of course i'm sure i'm not. How could i be when you can read and play cod at the same time.
