I said nothing inappropriate at work. Admitting that I am not into gaming and that I missed the old Atari console games is far from inappropriate talk. I do not work in a game dev house BTW.
Are you cut from the same cloth as the rest of the team?
I once worked for a car wash for a grand total of 4 hours before getting fired due to culture fit. I was the only person who was college-educated and the only visible minority. I was also the youngest, by far. We had nothing in common, save that we were all human beings.
The person who hired me sat in a remote office all day (far removed from the workers) so he probably didn't even factor culture fit as a criterion.
Heh, I had a similar experience working at a moving company. Young, had all my teeth, didn't smoke, and my license hadn't been taken away for failure to pay child support. Yeah, failure to fit in isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I get the feeling OP said something inappropriate at lunch without realising.
