You're not a real gamer if you don't pick Final Destination.

I refuse to believe this is a real thing until provided with empirical fucking evidence.

Also yeah this part!

I play a fair amount of video games actually but I don't consider myself a real gamer

I guess I mainly think of that label as something that applies to people who play games competitively, which I rarely ever do

Qualifications

Heaven forbid if you don't qualify

Then that thing you call yourself is a lie, and the internet reserves the right to shame you

It was always so random and annoying.

One thing that does annoy me is those surveys that claim that "65% of gamers are women!" then you find out they got to that number by counting moms who play Bejeweled or Solitaire online sometimes

There's nothing wrong with playing those, I've Bejeweled on occasion, but playing those does not in any way make you a "gamer"

And on a separate annoying note are girls who claim to be gamers but only keep a system in their apartment to get guys to come over

Here are Scooter's Simple Gamer Qualifications:
-Actually owning a system, an upgraded video card, or at least some games and/or peripherals that didn't come out of the $5 bargain bin at Kohl's checkout line
-You play games for your own enjoyment, even if there's no one around you're trying to impress

This is pretty gross.

The people who are all "oh you only play call of duty, pfft, you aren't a real gamer" and the like are so dumb

I thought COD experience was required to be a 'legit' gamer?

It's just like kids who hate it when "their" bands go mainstream and "sellout".

I like triple-A games, but saying you HAVE to play them or you're not a gamer is dumb.

I bet you didn't even turn all the graphics right down to maximise your FPS when you played, did you?

SirEtchwarts · June 2012

I played a lot of Team Fortress 2

even after it went free to play

Dichotomy · June 2012

I play a lot of video games but I wouldn't call myself a "gamer" because "gamer" has become a pretty fucking disgusting label

like "skinhead" or "republican"

Also I wasted a lot of time just running around getting lost and getting killed by hagravens!

You realize that counts moms who play Bejeweled on the computer they bought themselves.

That's why I specified upgrading the video card, clearly not everyone who owns a computer is a gamer

It's been years since I've been out of college so I don't have a lot of specific recollections, but for one at least I know my sister didn't take my Sega to school with her because she was so into Sonic

Gonna defend the exclusivity of the gamer title fo life

I take comfort in that when VR-matrix-brain implants become the next new media, everyone will be cool with games.

Wikipedia wrote:

A skinhead is a member of a subculture that originated among working class youths in London, England in the 1960s and then soon spread to other parts of the United Kingdom, and later to other countries around the world. Named for their close-cropped or shaven heads, the first skinheads were greatly influenced by West Indian (specifically Jamaican) rude boys and British mods, in terms of fashion, music and lifestyle.[1] Originally, the skinhead subculture was primarily based on those elements, not politics or race.[2]

You seem to have gotten lost and wandered down a path labelled 'silly goosery'.

Come back to the light, retrace your steps until you find the intersection, and this time take a nice leisurely stroll down the path signposted as 'reason and maturity'.
