[Vipershark]

1) If you had to give your 'Gamer Species' a name, what would it be?
Someone mentioned Chillcore before, and that pretty much describes me.
I play games to have fun, yet I consider myself to be a hardcore gamer. While I don't necessarily get into the more competitive areas of games and go REALLY hardcore like some fps players and stuff, I still like a challenge and dislike shovelware. Also not a fanboy of any system. I enjoy all games as long as they're good.

2) Give me a brief rundown of your taste in Fashion.
For myself? A T-shirt, some baggy jeans, and a hot pair of kicks are all I need.

3) If you had to pick 3 Gaming genres, what would they be?
uhhhhh
Platformer, RTS, and Action/Adventure, I suppose.
(really wanted to include puzzle and RPG)

4) If you had to pick 3 games period, what would they be (this doesn't necessarily have to agree with question 3!)
Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Zelda OOT, and there are too many to choose from for the third. Maybe Starcraft. I dunno.

5) What's your favourite school subject/what course are you doing?
Lunch?
I hate school.
Currently going to school for Computer Science. Want to do programming one day.
also i hate math and anything related to it with passion.

6) In your free time, where do you hang out? With whom?
Depends on my friends' schedules. Generally I hang out online on forums and stuff, but if my irl friends are available, we'll go hang out.

7) What would someone say (gaming or nerd culture-related) that would have you like them?
"I hate shovelware."
"Why don't games include local multiplayer anymore?"

8) What would someone say (gaming or nerd culture-related) that would piss you off?
Stealing this from G-Man: "GRAPHICS ARE THE ONLY THING THAT MAKE A GAME GOOD! 2-D GAMES? ARE YOU NUTS ITS GOTTA HAVE C.O.D.6 GRAPHICS TO BE GOOD!!!!!!!!!"
A friend of mine has this weird mindset where if it's not photorealistic, it's not good. His benchmark for how good something is is how closely it resembles the max settings of Crysis. I showed him minecraft once, and he couldn't stop telling me how bad it sucks because everything is blocks.

9) Any other thoughts?
Castlevania 2 is by far the best of the NES Castlevanias. 1 and 3 sucked. Yes, I just went there.
Also OoT is better than MM.

[Nindo]

Q1) If you had to give your 'Gamer Species' a name, what would it be?
A: Semi-Retro
Q2) Give me a brief rundown of your taste in Fashion.
A: I don't wear pants with less than four pockets in the front (I guess that would mean I only wear cargo variety pants). I only wear shirts relating to Nintendo, which I have 25 different ones of.
Q3) If you had to pick 3 Gaming genres, what would they be?
A: Adventure, Platformer, uuhhhhhhhh Strategy (Be it RTS or turn-based)
Q4) If you had to pick 3 games period, what would they be (this doesn't necessarily have to agree with question 3!)
A: I guess if I could only have three games, I would pick Jet Force Gemini, Super Mario RPG, and Mega Man X
Q5) What's your favourite school subject/what course are you doing?
A: Don't really have one, school never interested me. I prefer to learn things on my own.
Q6) In your free time, where do you hang out? With whom?
A: I hang out at my house or my friend's houses. Those places constitute whom I hang out with.
Q7) What would someone say (gaming or nerd culture-related) that would have you like them?
A: Some really really obscure quote from a game such as Jet Force Gemini, Body Harvest, Space Station Silicon Valley, Vigilante 8, Super Mario RPG, etc.
Q8) What would someone say (gaming or nerd culture-related) that would piss you off?
A: Nothing really, I'm generally pretty laid back. I guess the most irritating thing I hear relating to gaming/nerd culture is that either the games we have now are better than retro games, or that graphics actually supersede the other parts of judging a game.
Q9) Any other thoughts?
A: Music is definitely more important than graphics in a game.

I hate gamers. I seriously fucking do. Stop whining you fucktards, it's not like you own the gaming business. Sure, you make up the part that makes game sales possible, but sometimes the complaining actually starts to become annoying, especially when these complaints are just nitpicking. Also, you're not more of a gamer if you like / play the following games:

• Indie games
  
• Halo
  
• Any retro game
  
• GoW (both games with this initial)
  
• Any fucking Nintendo game that's supposedly "not casual"
  
• Any FPS or RTS that has a large following
  
• World of Warcraft
  
• By extention not playing World of Warcraft
  
• Anything not "casual", because "casual games are for scrubs"
  
• FUCKING ANY GAME THAT GETS LABELED AS "HARDCORE"
  

Seriously, fuck you, you people are the bane of gaming.

[Vipershark]

so basically if you play any game that's not from this gen, casual, and/or not completely obscure, you're retarded
what
