    Ahem...

    "Duh-duh-duh, duh-duhduhduh, duhduhduh-DUH, dudu-duh-dududuh (and so on.)"

    Then Zelda...

    "Du-duuuuuh, du-dudududaaaaaaaa, dududududeeeeeeeeeer, dududududeh-deduuuuuuuuuur (and so on)"

    Finally Fantasy.

    "DuhduhduhDUUUH-Duuurduuur-DE-deDuuuuuuuuuur!" *

    Man I'll sing you any game them you can name :P


    *Not sure if this is the one you meant by level up theme, but it means we can stop fighting for ten seconds.



    If you own a video game soundtrack... you are definitely a gamer... (checks CD collection. Guilty sixteen times over.)

    If, when regarding the price of some things you find particularly awesome, you are relieved (and a little astounded) that they only want money.

    If, when in a fight with your significant other, you pull the DM card to win (doesn't work, btw).

    If you are continually losing the game... (dammit)

    or,

    If your wife/gf/bf is continually MAKING you lose the game, then you are one lucky sonofabitch for marrying another gamer.

    If your greatest source of marital strife is only owning one computer and not having the money to buy another

    If you check over your "material components" before cooking

    If you've assigned a class and leveling system for your pets (my cats are a lv.2 fluff and a lv.12 lazyass)

    If you find it easier to communicate everyday scenarios and situations in 3.5speak

    If ANYTHING in your life is "super effective!"

    along the lines of DND

    if you've ever thought of situation in terms of it's critical success or failure

    the same thing for assessing a reaction as it relates to a saving throw...

    how about talking about personal characteristics as an ability score...

    and I'm pretty sure determining the quality of a performance by qualifying one's skill ranking in a particular area.

    yeah... roleplay geeking invades life more every hour spent in game. :D

    If you've ever played Grand Theft Auto for a solid week and then while walking to work, eyed the parked cars that flanked your street and think... "It would be so much quicker..."

    Definitely a gamer.

    If you think the best way to kill a large crab is to tip it over onto it's back and hit it's weak spot for massive damage... don't come to the beach with me.

    If your boyfriend asks you "What do YOU wanna do?" in a suggestive voice and you yell "VIDEO GAMES!", you're prolly a gamer.

    If he replies with, "YEAH!" and slaps you five, you're prolly dating a gamer who likes the Awesome Series as much as you do.

    If you both actually do go and play games after this interaction, you're both gamers (who need to get laid afterward. And do).

    first of all... I'd like to point out the masterpiece of quote highjacking that I've contributed to above...

    secondly, although I agree that sex>video games generally... they're suggesting something that seems to include both and I call that a big effin win!

    Here's the hierarchy

    Just sex = Regular Joe
    Sex then Games = Gamer (With your priorities straight)
    Games then sex = Total Gamer (Lucky enough to have landed someone as awesome as you are)
    Games DURING Sex = Gaming/Relationship God (Only managed this once :P)

    Toad, Sodom and Guybrush Threepwood. And you named your fourth William Hartnell-Robotnik

    My daughter is named Lyra (Of The Golden Compass... which was technically also a video game) but we're thinking of calling our second Link... or Hellboy. (If it's a girl... Hellgirl.)

    yea, i did go to school with obnoxiously snobby mean kids. i was the short red haired girl, it apparently makes you a target. ( a la fire crotch)
