It's a long read but I thought it might interest everyone.

http://kotaku.com/5857864/which-of-these-27-gamer-classifications-do-you-fall-under

I would be this guy:
Quote:
 
The Envied Gamer:
This gamer will buy something that everyone has their eye on just to have something everyone else wants. Playing/using it doesn't matter. In fact, it's better in this gamer's eye to be able to dangle it in other's faces that they simply have it. The fact that they don't use it adds to the face rubbing. They may have several older things they haven't opened simply to continue showing it off, but they focus on the current gen that more people are knowledgeable about so they can maximize the jealousy of those around them. They never share, and most of the games they actually play are attained illegally or as gifts.


I'm the kind of guy who will buy the Vita just for the sake of having it and just because I can afford it and my friends can't. I know, it sounds mean but thats me. The guy who have all the cool things.

Which class do you fall under? :)

I'm The Loner mostly but I could also be called The Collector or a combination of both.

I would say a mixture of The Politician, The Collector and The Competitor. And maybe a little bit of The Clown.

I may be a combination of The Collector and The True Nerd, the only things in their descriptions that doesn't fit me is that I am the best at everything (Because i'm not), and that I collect more than I game.

I'm easy a mix of politician and the collector. More on the collector side, but only due to time restrictions.

The Enabler most likely. Obviously, I have traits of the other ones, but I am basically a politician without the lying part.

I should do a spoof of the Envied one lol. The shadow behind all pickups videos, however small or however big.

Probably The Politician/The Importer/Exporter/The Yearner.

But these classifications are arbitrary, as always.

I guess I would say a mix of the Politician and the Collector. I love getting all the special editions and I have to really hate a game not to like it. I remember when there was that whole backlash towards Kane and Lynch, I really liked that game and the sequel, even though it was short.

Easily this:

The True Nerd:
This gamer knows every nuance and detail of every game they've ever played, isn't afraid to recite any of it, and is proud to be who he or she is. They are confrontational by nature, boasting their vast knowledge and welcoming all challengers of said knowledge. They are good at anything they try, and are hopelessly embarrassed if they are beaten even in an unfamiliar game. They often have tempers, and some may even cross the line in a versus match and can be very sore losers. These gamers may be arrogant, and may let a match or contested game knowledge get in the way of a friendship. Online, they are a force to be reckoned with.

Still trying to decide. I try to play many genres, although my interests lean mainly towards RPGs, platformers, puzzle, and puzzle platformers. I also like point & click adventure. I've almost always hated first person shooters, but I really like Dementium on the DS and Bioshock.

I collect somewhat, but only for games I know I want to play and have no intention on ever getting rid of. When I get a game it's because I want to keep in my gaming rotation (basically forever). It needs to be a game I could just play randomly, still like it, and try to get through in a few sittings. RPGs are the big exception though. It's nice when you actually want to play through them again. Right now I'd really love to replay Dragon Quest 4, 5, and 8. Dragon Quest games are generally keepers.

Closest match I can think of is Retro or Collector, but collector that wants to play the games. I don't like to collect figurines and such though. I don't collect strategy guides, but if they're as nice as the Chrono Trigger or Mario Paint ones, I might reconsider. The Valkyria Chronicles one looks really nice. I might have to make an exception for that one.

I'm not sure. I could say the competitor, but i'm not a cocky ass behind the mic. I just joke around and act funny while staying focused on my game. Other than that, I'd probably say the collector.

I would have to say the a little bit of the Wizard. I dont have to practice as they say. But to me that means that the learning curves are not that bad and I can pick up almost any game and get the controls down. Not trying to brag but I never really did have a hard time with those. And a mix of the Competitor with the whole, friendly outside of gaming but once I am on a multiplayer game I'm a different person.

The Collector:
May actually have more knowledge than the True Nerd gamer, but won't offer it up until prompted. Always willing to offer a suggestion of a great game, followed by the admission that the game is unattainable. They have seemed to have played everything on the original console, and amazingly have kept up with the hobby since its inception. They are the absolute best at spotting a deal, or calling someone on a horrible one. They always seem more mature than most gamers, but that may simply be because of the wisdom they bring to the table from all the gaming they have done. Their skill falls into the "jack of all trades master of none" category though, as they may collect more than they actually game. They have a hard time finishing anything, but a very easy time starting something. The deal they got on a game can often be more important than the game itself.


That's me to a tee.

Clown and Collector.
Games are for fun, I have always thought that and it's what got me into the things. From map making in TimeSplitter FP and inventing game modes in Smash Bros Melee to finding easter eggs and trying to get into areas you're not meant too, I love playing games for fun and love collecting games to play them...at some point...

I guess I would be a small mix of The Rebounder (although I was only out of gaming for a year or 2 but I am trying to regain everything that I had to sell off) which leads into a bit of the Yearner because theres so much that I want but money gets tight sometimes (Although I dont talk to people for hours about it) Which would lead me into the Loner because I like to be by myself and play everything with big headphones cut off from the world haha and I guess im a bit of The Collector because Im slowly building my collection back up.........I'm complicated.... lol

I think that I'm a mix of moslty a clown, and a bit of nerd.

I only have a few games, but with those game I love to just go in and screw around... but not always make people laugh, more like piss them off because I'm not doing what I'm supposed to. With the games I have, I like to know almost every detail I can.

I'm a combination of a few of these, but if I am forced to pick one, this one describes me the most accurately:

The Retro Gamer:
While this gamer may own newer systems, their love for the hobby will always be focused on a legacy system. This gamer may have a complete library for the system they lament went out of production. They get crotchety when discussing new-gen stuff and will swear the industry peaked during their favorite system and all decisions made after that point spell certain doom for the hobby. Their biggest pleasure remains finding new stuff out about old games or hearing about a title they never played. They demand a nostalgic feel in most of their gaming experiences.
