Thanks to pictures like the one below, showing physical attention to your controller is frowned upon within the gaming community. As Max Level says: “You’re likely to get flamed and trolled at honey badger-esque levels if there’s even a glimpse of you showing physical affection towards your gaming peripherals.”

Max Level argues that it doesn’t have to be that way, and we at NBF agree! Together, we are working on a fun project called “We Love Games,” and everyone is invited!

Let’s build the largest Pinterest board showcasing gamers embracing their gaming habits by physical means. How, you ask?

Follow these simple steps:

1. Find your gaming platform/peripheral of choice;
2. Take a picture of yourself embracing it in an affectionate manner;
3. Send it to us via Twitter, Instagram (you’ll need to tag our Twitter handle), Facebook, or email editor@nerdybutflirty.com!

And leave the rest to us! We’ll throw you on a huge Pinterest board of other gamers doing the same thing. Here’s a photo of me indulging:

Shocking! Sell out!

But I bet you can get more creative than that! Join us out of sheer love for the medium that is gaming. If you unapologetically love your games and aren’t afraid to show it, send your picture to join up on our pinterest board!
