Do your games reflect yourself?

[EisBaron]

Do your games reflect who you really are? Do you like racing games because of your real life interests in cars or is it because you can't get away with going down the freeway at 200 any other way? Do Harvest Moon and Viva Pinata fulfill a want to escape to a simpler lifestyle or just provide an excuse to beat the crap out of stuff with a shovel? Do large multi-player games resemble your need for others and to work in a group with teamwork or are you just don't have anyfriends?

Great thread you got here, buddy. 20 1/2 hours after its creation and there are only 15 views and 0 replies. Lemme fix that...

Before I lost all of my games in a move, yes, they did reflect my personality a bit. I'm a person who plans out absolutely everything before starting on anything, so most of my games were turn based strategies. The rest of my games were either sports or racing games, with a few JRPGs thrown in there. Now I only own 3 or 4 games and zero systems to play them on so boo...

Way to be a dick.

Anyway, I'd have to say no, simply for the fact that I don't jump around everywhere, shoot people, and defend Africa from alien forces.

I am, however, going over there to help with disease preventation.

Zing?

I'm a twitchy, instant person, so I prefer FPSs. However, I also like Burnout for being able to do things unimaginable in the real world (Or that would at least get you killed and/or arrested.However, I also sometimes like stealth (Like in Deus Ex) for the feeling of power it brings. And I enjoy platformers and puzzle games like Braid, because I enjoy the challenge.

Yep, I'm a dick by nature. For instance, if you come across a YouTube comment of mine, it's usually a -6 or worse. I kind of like being hated on the 'net.

Noble. The world needs more people like you.

Zing?

No zing. You get a virtual cookie, though. A for Effort.

So you're a troll?
I don't know if I bought games like Dynasty Warriors because I like killing the chinese, or Fallout 3 because I like "sepia tones", or Bioshock because I like doing perverted things with little girls.
I'm going to say no.

Kinda, games like Mirrors Edge, Prototype, Ninja Gaiden 2 all feature incredible agility in the protagonist. I'm quite agile so it fits.

But generally, no.

I guess. Not all the time, though. Sometimes I'm pretty friendly. Like this thread, for instance. I figured I'd revive it from the dead because of it's lack of views and replies (until I found a copy of this thread that was much more successful). Now I'm just adding to it for vanity reasons.

There was a thread like this yesterday, but I'll go with the same answer:

I like shooters, but in real life I don't like guns/hunting all that much. So, no, my games don't reflect who I am.

I own a copy of Assassin's Creed and like stabbing stuff in the larynx.
Does that count?
