Joe Rogan is a BOOMER when it comes to Videogames

Hello Everyone,
Just another long rambly video, this time about Joe Rogan’s ignorant and dismissive “Videogames are a waste of time” comments.
This video is very long (over 50 mins) but Videogames are a lifelong passion of mine, and while I like Joe Rogan, I found his comments insulting, dismissive, and ignorant. He’s not the first to condemn videogames or geek media (Roger Ebert, Bill Maher, Jimmy Kimmel, and others have made anti gamer/anti geek media comments as well).
Just like I responded to those dismissals, I will respond to this one as well.
I don’t have Twitter, so if you feel so inclined, you have my permission to share/retweet this to Mr. Rogan’s Twitter.
