Am I a Gamer?

[Imrix]

Off the top of my head, I think anybody involved enough in gaming to be reading the Escapist, and especially anybody involved enough to post here, is totally a gamer.

It doesn't matter what kind of game you play, and avid video gamers have lost sight of that fact. If your grandmother weekly plays Bridge with her friends, then she's a gamer. So are all the kids in the "tabletop role playing" club at school. Even physical athletes count, such as those who participate in the Olympic Games.

So yes you are a "gamer," and so are a whole mess of other people.

Good point

On a scale of 1 to 10, you're a 15. You are the gamiest of the gamers just going off the stuff you've listed.

 

[Alvin Joseph]

Yes indeed. You are a gamer!

It's really not worth thinking about. If you follow all this bullshit, it'll just make your blood pressure go up.

given quite recent (and ultimately retarded) events, I can vouch for this comment.

If everyone who plays games is a gamer, then I have the following questions:

Is everyone who plays the piano a pianist?
Is everyone who trains boxing a boxer?
Is everyone who swims on a regular basis a swimmer?
Is everyone who writes reviews on the internet a reviewer?

Yes? unless your mean in a professional sense and if you follow that line then most here aren't gamers.

Did you make that "I'm a Gamer" video that everyone hated?

If you play games then you are a gamer. CS -_-

Is this some kind of riddle?

I would argue that you're doing the single most relevant thing to warrant the title. Feel free to call yourself whatever the hell you like though.

Ask yourself if you are. Write down your own answer.
