I don't have that experience, so I don't know what to say. Never even had an Atari. But, sometimes, if I can get them into a group, they are more willing to *yell* tutorials at me when they're "teaching" me how to play. The first time I tried this, I got flustered, frustrated, and actually cried! wow. Talk about the technique blowing up in my face. And talk about crying being NOT a gamer's language. ugh. I have tried it since and I have less buy-in to "help" me from the group (dang it), but there are a few who will still talk to me. But not my hard-core gamer. I can't get to him.
