Usually I'm vocal about games IRL; videogames, pen & paper roleplaying games, collectible card games, miniature warfare games and usually people don't even know what I'm talking about and they never consider me a geek (unless I rant about comics, I don't know why) probably because of how I look. :3 derp

But here are some exceptions:

I have a lot of IRL friends playing WoW and I mock them about it, but I used to play WoW for about 4 years before they even started playing.
I also play Touhou, but I do not even mention it other than here on GBAtemp. After seeing the local Touhou fanbase at some convention, I feel sorrier for them than fat American cosplayers. (They also play on Normal LOL, I think they were more into the characters than dodging bullets.)

Also Cave shmups. I do not know anyone IRL who cares for shmups in general anyway so I never talk about them. They're my "Alone Time Games".

Speaking of something I never mention IRL; I never ever mention GBAtemp IRL.
I even tell the few GBAtemp members on my FB to never post something about GBAtemp on my wall.

LOL ORC HAS FACEBOOK

Pretty much every game that's not new.
I hate having to explain to people what I'm playing because they think that CoD is the only game that's ever existed.

Them: "Mega Man X? What's that? You mean Mega Man 10? You should play CoD, the graphics are better."
Me: ?_?

I laughed so hard. Thanks - I really needed that.

Hm...well, if I'm ever asked "Do you play such and such", I respond truthfully. That being said, I've really only been asked that once or twice, and both times were about Call of Duty, which I don't play.

I don't tend to play my SMT titles around my little sister or mother, but that's really only because my little sister is insanely naive, and my mother is the over the top "you're going to hell if you listen to anything but hymns" type of person. I was playing through Nocturne with my friend when my mother walked in just as I summoned Lilith. Needless to say, she wasn't very amused; especially not when she realized that Lilith is based off of the one said to be Adam's first wife. Was not a good day. She also walked in on us playing Persona 4, right as my friend summoned Lucifer. She went ballistic. (And of course, it was one of the few times the protagonist would cry out the Persona's name - LUCIFER!)

Have you tried summoning Mara yet?
 
At first i was for playing pokemon open in school. (this was when pkmn HGSS was released)
After a weak 10 people in my class all had a NDS with them and all of them had bought Pokemon. From that i learned a lesson to never be ashamed for playing any games, because you might turn the people around you into the same gaming freak as you

Considering I have a lot of friends with similar gaming tastes to me (Zelda, Pokemon, FF etc.) I've got no need to hide any games I enjoy.
Hell, right now a lot of folks are playing Pokemon White openly in school. At least in my year, people who remember how awesome Pokemon is/was and aren't immature enough to go "Lol, Pokemon is for kids"
