"And you call yourself a gamer?!"

[IvoryTowerGamer]

The only one I can think of right now is:

You don't know what Pac Man is?
And you call yourself a gamer?

Iv got better

You cant play dwarf fortress?
And you call yourself a gamer?

You're willing to endure the horrible design of DF's UI?
And you call yourself a gamer?

 

[IvoryTowerGamer]

"You don't like kilts, football or bagpipes? And you don't hate the English? And you call yourself Scottish!"

Did you know that David Hume, among many other really important people, were Scottish?
How does William Wallace, an ignorant gangster who almost exclusively fought other Scottish people, meant to compare!?

And Bonnie Prince Charlie? A Catholic religious fundamentalist from France?? Really???

While your point is good sir, I am afraid you have missed the point of this thread

Yeah, well, it had to be said.

A relevant point might be that I don't prestige on CoD. Why not? Because I don't want to lose all my stuff for the sake of a teeny tiny permutation.

I agree. I never really got the point of Prestige-ing.
"Lose all my pretty guns, for some titles and emblems I won't use? No thanks".
I've only prestiged twice because I was bored.
imo, people that prestige care way too much about showing off their epeen.

Or, if you're like me, like to unlock stuff again. Don't know why, just like to unlock stuff.

Two words; Skinner Box

Point being?

The act of unlocking gives you pleasure. It's a fundemental principle of the game that you'll keep playing to unlock things that can have very little bearing on the gameplay.

It's that whole "One more level" psychology that we're all guilty of.

I've spent far too long on Mass Effect 2 in a night thanks to the Skinner Box framework.

No they didn't. Gamification isn't about making life into a skinner box; it's about giving something a game structure. There's a difference.

This, I consider myself a huge Fallout fan, both 3 and NV are among my top 5 games I've ever played, and yet I've never played 1 or 2. Why? Because they were both released years before I even started gaming and appear very different to the current ones, when there are still new games out now I'd like to play I'm not going to go back to outdated ones. You can play just one game of a series and still be a fan.

As long as you're not ignorant of the orginals games existence and the lore then it is OK.

 

[Booze Zombie]

"You play on a Wii and you call yourself a gamer?? Hahahaha."

and

"You illegally download games, then use cheats to play through them just so you can watch the cut-scenes and you call yourself a gamer? Seriously??"

Neither were directed at me.

The second one makes more sense. I "played" games like that for a while, it was mindless and dull... I don't understand how anyone can do it.

Don't worry I know what it is. For me it is the pleasure yes (of course I have fun playing it too...most of the time) but not so I can flaunt my epeen as previously said by someone else. I like progression, so if prestiging on Call of Duty lets me progress again I will do it.

Nevermind the fact that they undermined the whole point of that video when they advocated "gamification".

And then argued that while it would be great in many ways, Gamification of Skinner Box methods would be bad. VERY bad.

You can't pick and choose how you apply it. Operant conditioning is operant conditioning. Either you discourage use of it or you don't.

They never said 'this is how you should put it into practice', they said 'this is what it is, this is how it could be good, this is how it could be very, VERY bad'.

I think you're misunderstanding the videos.

I'm not. They actively encourage conditioning kids in school. It is just a form of control. I'm calling hypocrisy.

You Never Played LoZ: OoT

You are not a Zelda Fan

Well, fiddlesticks. The fact that I got an N64 after it was out of production and a Game Cube when the PS3 was out makes me a non-Zelda fan.


Now I can't think of why I even played, Twilight Princess, Link's Awakening, Oracle of Ages, Four Swords, Phantom Hourglass and the original on NES.

The fact remains that OoT is hands-down the best Zelda game ever made. I know alot of people that haven't played any other Zelda game and mostly play shooters, that still put OoT in their top 10 games.

Heh. The fact remains that not once did I ever say or hint that Ocarina of Time was considered a 'lesser' game in my opinion. You surely missed my sarcastic remark at the very notion that because you have not played Ocarina of Time, you cannot be a fan of Zelda.

The idea that a person who hasn't played 'one' game in the series, you're not a fan of said series just because it's in your opinion the best game of the series, comes off as either a joke or a very dumb statement.




Then what would you call a person who plays a game series numerous secuels and prequels, reads info of things from said series and watches things in relation to the series, even buying and wanting things in real life that were based off things in the series?

Even getting excited about rumours of a new game in said series coming out soon?


Apparently not a 'fan'. As I am such a person, yet I have not been able to play Ocarina of Time. From not being able to get the game in stores(including the 3DS version wich was sold out when I went to numerous places to buy it)either from lack of money, lack of a proper console or lack of the game being in stock.

You work for Fox News and you call yourself a gamer.

"You don;t like apples?! ... and you called yourself a gaymer..."

Spoiler: Get it?

Yeah, it was a terrible joke. I'll leave the internet now.

Puns are the lowest form of wit. Though, wit is the highest form of comedy.

 

[Solo-Wing]

I have an acquaintance that calls herself a "Fallout Girl", t-shirts and everything. Only played 3 and New Vegas.

OW MY BRAIN.
Thats like kids these days that say they are Pokemon fans, but have only played Gen 3+.
Or worse yet, have only played Black and White >.>

I played all gens. my favorite was the 2nd. it stuck to me the most.

You don't know who Kirby is? And you call yourself a gamer.

... I used this one before.
You never played shadow of the Colossus before? And you call yourself a gamer.

 

[Yarkaz]

"You haven't played (speaker's favorite game)? You call yourself a gamer?"

 

[MiracleOfSound]

You didn't prefer Lara's boobs when they were pointy triangles?

You liked wandering around in Fallout 3 more than watching Fallout 1 and 2 play themselves while you hoped a super mutant wouldn't insta-kill you with a freak critical?

You like bright sunny cheerful fields and voices in Oblivion more than brown dank swamps and walls of text in Morrowind?

You like games to be tough but fair and not maddeningly frustrating because of shit controls and mechanics?

You can't run Crysis on highest settings on your rig?

You play the Wii?

...and you call yourself a gamer?????

 

[Sulacu]

You wash regularly? And you call yourself a gamer?
