Thread: "Gamers"

    Hey now. He's a good friend of mine, and this was a friendly kind of thing.

  6. i have always assumed that collins college uses those commercials as a weeding out process for any serious gaming development students. if they beleive anything from the commercials, they get put in the time waster classes, to get shaken down for tuition. if they realize that the commercials are bunk, then they are put in the actual game development classes.

    I consider myself an enthusiast/japan-centric gamer but even I wouldn't limit "gamer" to a select few.

  8. I think if a person calls himself a gamer then he's a gamer. I mean, I occasionally draw, but I'm not an artist. My dad plays Tetris on a little LCD game system he has in front of the TV. But he certainly wouldn't tell you that he's a gamer.

    The term "gamer" isn't quite a match for "movie goer," but more like "movie buff," I think. If someone tells me that he or someone else is a gamer, I assume the person in question engages in more than the occasional Windows Solitaire.

  9. What happens when a friend says I play guitar? I play basketball? I workout? I ski? This doesn't mean you are in a band, it doesn't mean you're in the NBA, and it sure as hell doesn't mean you are a professional body builder. It means what it says.

    I'm a gamer is lame in itself. Defining ourselves by what we have as a hobby is lame IMO. I play games. Period. Along with all the other stuff I do. I work. I have a life, etc. Why try making a big deal out of it? If people enjoy games, know what they are, then they play games and are "gamers." Sure.

    Anyone who plays games is a gamer. There is no hidden connotation. There's a difference between, for instance, being a film fan and being a critic/expert in the field. So I could see people saying I'm a video game analyst or scientist like those guys at MIT who study the trends and whatnot. I'm a gamer is generic and simply means anything -- I play madden on weekends while partying with my friends or I can quote Metal Gear Solid word for word cause I'm 'lite like that.

    There is no point in trying to form a system that will tell us if we are "gamers." Case in point -- I've been a "gamer" since I was a little kid, yet I have never played through any of the Metal Gears expect the original NES one. Would I fail to meet the criteria?
