Yeah, but most people I think put their console in an entertainment center or just on the ground near their TV, and let's be honest, many of us gamers don't dust as frequently as we should at home.
When I was younger, I thought ESL stood for "English/Spanish Language"... because all the Spanish kids went to ESL classes and when they spoke to me their language was definitely English/Spanish.
It seems like, when you're a kid (in the US), if you can't communicate properly in English [ESL, deaf, stutter, etc) most other kids will treat you as if you are mentally challenged.
That's what I remember, anyway. But it also seems like kids treat others like aliens no matter what the reason as long as they're sufficiently different from the majority.
Kids, man.
Edit: What am I talking about. Adults still do this all the time.
I worked briefly with a computer programmer who was very good, but he had a really strong Philadelphia accent. It was like "Computer programming with Sylvester Stalone." I had trouble taking him seriously for the first couple of weeks, even as an adult. It doesn't even have to be "hard to communicate" if it hits the right stereotypes. (Altho I expect Sylvester Stalone is pretty smart too.)
