Got Super Hexagon as part of some Humble bundle. Plays well on touch screens...
Great topic, I think this is something that every gamer battles with.
Even if I like to imagine I have a certain level of confidence in my choice as competitive gaming as a worthy pastime, there is still a stigma attached to it and I know trying to explain it to some of my friends would just be an exercise in futility.
Quite a few of my closest friends know about my exploits in online gaming from living with me at uni, from shouting at people late in to the night in Natural Selection to attending i-Series events, but few of them know about the full extent in terms of the ridiculous hours I've plowed in to it over the last 15 years or so.
A few years back when I was on Microsoft internship in Dublin my social circle was much more versed in these nerdiest of endeavors so I would talk at length with my flatmates about the goings on in TF2 and they even watched a few of the games I played or casted on the big TV we had downstairs!
Still though, I agree with the common consensus here. I don't introduce myself as a competitive gamer, but if asked directly or I think the person can handle it I'm more than happy to get in to it.
Sidenote about working for MS: I actually mentioned a lot of the gaming stuff I did on my CV in terms of being involved in communities as admin, beta tester and content creator etc. and it went down really well in the interview. Most companies are looking for multi-talented people, so don't be afraid to sell your nerd :D
That was fun and totally biased!
Nulflo truth bombs.
This was our opportunity to take the moral high ground, Europe.
The moment has passed.

Tune in comrades! I had to grimace through that fucking NA vs NA shitfest last year :D
The rest of iM have great discipline and faith in letting Yuki handle the ubers.
