7 Annoying Types of Gamers

1. Inspector Gadget

This guy loves all the bits and pieces associated with gaming. He actually bought the Nintendo Power Glove and the Virtual Boy. He has Rumble Paks on his Rumble Paks. Maybe he just really likes Nintendo… No wait, there’s a stack of every color of PlayStation memory card ever made. He always shows up with his own controller in pristine condition, and you laughed at him when he brought over the Master Chief helmet that came with the Legendary edition of Halo 3, because it’s tiny and you can’t actually wear it. Then he used it to build a scale model that actually fit, and you were kind of jealous.

Indeed.

My least favorite is the "Grandpa"
The 40 year old who acts like anyone who didn't have Atari 2600 is some sort of out of touch gamer.

I mean, I don't care much for the people who more or less started gaming this gen and talk about the gaming industry seriously, but who's this middle aged guy to tell us "youngsters" what to think of gaming?

bootsielon5080d ago

Someone with more experience and more knowledge of video games. Simple.

Then again, I've seen fanboys so old that it's pathetic they make such idiotic arguments at such age (remember theMart?) so I take that back.

But, all else equal, someone who has played more video games and more platforms arguably has a more informed opinion.

Haha it's a funny article. I guess I'd be an old school elitest, not so much that I'm afraid of amazing new games like the Uncharted games or Assassin's Creed, but a lot of games now do really try to be more realistic than games in the past. I'm not a fan of FPS games in general, albeit I do love Insomniac's Resistance games. Not so realistic, but it's almost like Ratchet & Clank combined with an FPS/Sci-Fi viewpoint combined with history. A unique series to be sure. That said, I am a fan of the consoles I grew up on. My personal fave is the Genesis/MegaDrive. I loved the games on the system over some of the stuff on the SNES. Beyond that, I'm an old school original PS gamer who loved the JRPGs that came out on it. Where's SquareSoft when we need them? Oh yeah, Square-ENIX made FF13. The newest whoring out the Japanese roleplaying genre to the west. Heh, maybe I'm old school but I expect certain things from games. Realism is not one of them, but traditions on JRPGs, I do insist on. :)

the gamer that talks like a thug on an online game (socom) and argues hes better then someone else.

like dude go out and get arrested for loitering or somethign and get the hell out of my ear i hate that.be a little punk thug, or a gamer, not both. grow up this isnt boys in the hood it aint cool to act like that you low life grow up and be a man not a follower.

I collect video games and video game accessories.

I actually recently just purchased the Spyro the Dragon games for PS1 (I had them before, but lost them).

ATM I have a working SNES, NES, Genesis, N64, PS1 (fat model), Gamecube, PS2, Xbox original, and a PS3.

I also have a gameboy pocket, Gameboy Color, Sega Gamegear.

My PS2 VG collection alone is like 80 games....

Is this a bad thing?

Evildoomnerd5080d ago

I'm in the same boat as you, but in particular I collect the old school NES, SNES, and PS1 games, and I own every Nintendo portable up to DSlite. Just remember: its all in good fun, and its not a bad thing as long as you know how to prioritize bills/family/life goals/etc. You play the games, don't let the games play you! On topic, I am guilty of 1 and 3, and I have over 13 games I haven't took out of the plastic yet(impulse buys).

Anyways, heres my collection so far: http://club.ign.com/b/list/...

The plastic wrap haunts me. I keep getting games even though many still reside in their packaging. Getting a double major in physics and electrical engineering is taxing. So little time...

The Great Melon5079d ago (Edited 5079d ago )

Don't worry you're not alone. I have hundreds of games. I once started to count how many PS2 games I actually had, but decided to stop when I reached 100 games and still had plenty more to go.

dizzleK5080d ago (Edited 5080d ago )

i'm guilty of 1 and 4 to an extent. i like collecting just to have things, the condition is irrelevant.

i think #4 comes naturally to anybody who has been in the hobby as long as i have. you get better at analyzing games and comparing them to similar mechanics that were used in the past. i respect where the hobby is now to an extent but i do genuinely think alot of older games are better. they might not have all the bells and whistles but there was a purity of gameplay that i greatly enjoy.

btw i bookmarked and subscribed to the site, theres alot of funny stuff. thanks to whoever submitted this.

hatchimatchi5080d ago

That's a funny article that I think we can all relate to. I have a buddy who is definitely a freak of nature. He beat Resident Evil on the invisible enemy mode for gamecube and he also beat ninja gaiden 1&2 on it's hardest difficulty.

-MD-5080d ago (Edited 5080d ago )

2, 3 and 6 I guess... to a certain extent. I suspect most gamers are one or more of these types of players.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
