I don't play as many video games as I would like to mostly because I was always busy with school and well...poor.
But there were a few times where other guys my age would hear I played video games and if I didn't rattle off 100 things that I've played then they would tell me I wasn't really a gamer.
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.

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

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'.

Why would anyone care what anyone else calls themselves?

okay but I'm playing meta knight and no items

I am the worst gamer
You're not a real gamer if you don't pick Final Destination.
Also yeah this part!
I guess I mainly think of that label as something that applies to people who play games competitively, which I rarely ever do
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
I thought COD experience was required to be a 'legit' gamer?

You sicken me, CD.
I bet you didn't even turn all the graphics right down to maximise your FPS when you played, did you?
even after it went free to play
like "skinhead" or "republican"
No! I turned them up all the way!
Also I wasted a lot of time just running around getting lost and getting killed by hagravens!

I've only put in 23 so far.

The most hollow victory ever
Oh, yeah, I'm finally watching this now.
30 seconds in...okay, hey, this could be an interesting reality show!

Good luck with that.
Anyone with a phone these days can play games.
Get over it.
nobody plays that I can be the most hardcore cup and ball guy and there won't be anyone else diluting my mastery of the cup and ball
Boohoo
Your exclusive little club is no longer exclusive
Guess what, we can vote and own property too
This is for real happening in the female role model thread
