Gamer Stereotypes: Where do you fit in?

Game Podunker IWX the Angry Leprechaun writes,

" * You love one game and or system and wouldn't think of touching another.
* You believe that physical violence would be an acceptable way of defending said love.
* You are right and will be able to justify any debate and provide evidence. (If there is no evidence you will make it up)
* There are many variants..."

[Kalowest]

I'm a "The JRPG Fanatic 1st", a "The Glutton 2nd", and 3rd is a tie between "The Halo" and "The HandHeld Gamer".

Such is the world of N4G...
..ok reading on...

Edit:
Ok, I am a Glutton.. and my wife hates it.
My 8 year old son is the Hulk.. and I'm doing everything in my power to control him.

[darkcharizard]

Mario, Zelda, Castlevania, Sonic, Donkey Kong, Tetris, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Sid Meier's Civilization, Street Fighter, Pokemon, Mortal Kombat, Metal Gear, Age of Empires, Metroid, Chrono Trigger, Mega Man..... That's what we're all about!

[RustInPeace]

Because the articles picture stopped me. Does ANYONE besides me remember Freakazoid? That's where the pic is from. Just a great show, that's all.

[Immortal321]

new releases are $60 so why not have such an expectation, my games have to be 8.4 and up for me to get it.

[pangitkqb]

PC Elitist and Glutton Apparently. Funny idea for a story. I liked it.

[Vlaitor]

Glutton and Pc Elite

I got a ratio above 2 in every shooter but I can't stand mmo
I own a PS3, WII and I play both regulary.

Meh

[King-Leonidas]

The Hulk.
I kicked down many TVs...

[fossilfern]

The Glutton and the Hulk for me !

[Rip-Ridah]

That would be me too. However, the Bruce Banner in me has gained the upper hand lately. i haven't destroyed a wall or controller in several months. I think I may be healed. (True story.) 75% Glutton 25% Hulk. No...more...HULK...SMASH...

P.S. Very light-hearted story btw. I enjoyed it to be honest. Hopefully I can enjoy reading through everyones comments as well.

[GodsHand]

I am
11% - The Homophobe
43% - Hulk
43% - Glutton
3% - Human

Funny break down of the differnet gamer.

[SquareEnixFan]

I'm definitely the JRPG Fanatic except the whole shedding a tear for Aerith part. I also am a little bit of the Musician.

[Evildoomnerd]

I would say I'm 40% Glutton, 20% Grinch, 30% Handheld Gamer, 9% Trophy/Achievement Whore and 1% Hulk.

[tatsukishi]

I am 60% Glutton, 30% JRPG and 10 % mmo.

[live2play]

old school sucker

[Mattey]

100% The halo. lol

[ddurand1]

no stoner option? theres alot of stoner gamers.

[electricshadow]

PC Elitist FTW!

[seinfan]

Homophobe
Hulk
Achievment Whore
Musician (GH: Metallica mostly)

[T9X69]

I'm a SOCOM junkie.

[Rip-Ridah]

Any SOCOM junkie would have a slight case of Hulk in them. Be honest now. That one time when the guy didnt diffuse the bomb in time on Crossroads...remember? Lol, just messin with you buddy. I miss Waterworks and The Mixer from Socom 3 and Socom 2 respectfully. ;-)

[Dnied]

The JRPG Fanatic
-You know that once you encounter a female character, she is the healer.

LOL

some of these are awesome lol

[Si-Fly]

I'm a Glutton and Grinch combined with Hulk tendencies lol, great article!

[dirtydbz]

I love the pre pubecent sailor ( I am 36 so that aint me) although I do curse from time to time my wife was going crazy when I was playing MW2 online every time I got killed $h!t or fck or some other foul word but I have heard some foul kiddy mouths when playing

[AssassinHD]

"The Glutton" is the most accurate stereotype for me.

I will play pretty much everything, although I don't really care for licensed sports games or rhythm games.

I own 2 out of the 3 consoles.

I have a sizeable game library, including several titles that I have not touched yet, let alone completed.

I really don't understand fanboyism.

I do like to be well informed about my hobby of choice.

[FwanK]

I'm a sony fanboy

[Jrome]

%50 glutton...%50 grinch lol.

[Pillville]

They left out me, I'm the "Anti-Social" gamer.

I have no interest in going online to pew-pew-pew people.
I play games to get away from people, I need a game with a good story and plenty to do.

(and that makes this Online-Shooter generation very hard to get through)

[Zinc]

Ha, yes!

[Tex117]

Dude, well said.

[X9EcksNine]

Halo
Glutton
very small amount of Hulk and Grinch

but I don't really fit in any of these, I mean I play Halo more than anything, but I don't do any of the subtexts that it suggests.

I'm a Competitive Gamer, they should add that.

[SeraphimBlade]

I fit nicely into "the glutton," save not playing some of my games. I own every current-gen console, and until I got to college, I averaged two or three new games a month. Thanks reasonable job I had for two years with no living expenses whatsoever!

I also have a few symptoms of JRPG fanatic, Hulk (when a game's really hard!) and musician, though I'm not as delusional.

[vampstreak]

Im a gamer and thats all i need to know

[Akagi]

Definitely The Grinch.

Can't get me enough of those old CRPGs. New rpg's hold your hand ALL the way!

[Rip-Ridah]

Try Demon's Souls if you want an RPG that doesn't hold your hand. Expect to have some Hulk symptoms as a result though, lol. Great game.

[theballa113092]

Ha I like this article.

[wollie]

im a mix of JRPG, MMO and Achievement whore. I wish i was a glutton, but I'm just to poor.

[BlueEye]

The JRPG Fanatic is me totally (got FFX which i got in NORWAY! paused at the moment, and i am planning on buying a PSP only for a few JRPG's), I also have traits of the Glutton and Handheld gamer, recently graduated from The Prepubescent Sailor about a year ago.

[Nuckles]

The Glutton

•You will play pretty much anything and everything, it's all good. (Typically only disliking 1 or 2 genres)
•You own every console.
•You have a pretty sizable game library, many of which you probably haven't played.
•You don't understand how people can be fanboys.
•You like to be up on the latest gaming news.

[d3nworth1]

I'm like 70% hulk and 30% glutton. That 1 broken controller was an accident I swear.

[iwx]

Good to see a lot of you guys enjoyed it
