the only aspect of the stereotype I match up with is the laziness part. I've spoiled myself to the point only to where I have no choice but to staple my behind to the nearest chair and A) fiddle with my guitar B) stare and occasionally laugh at my computer screen or C) Do anything besides what I was told to do. I'm even procrastinating as I type. Other than that I'm just a bit on the chunky side.
I'm pretty much the skinny know-it-all gamer geek stereotype
I wear glasses when I'm watching TV or playing games, and I occasionally find myself accidentally saying 'noob' and 'pwnd' to people who have no idea what I'm talking about
But I'm not completely antisocial, so that's ok

I think there's a reason for the stereotype. A random gamer is more likely to be a fat, antisocial basement dweller then a random jock. But a random jock is more likely to be an arrogant, air headed douche. Cliques are not a straight jacket for behavior, and you should never assume that, but generally there is a source of the stereotype.
Fat...Well bad meds but I dropped 9 pounds and am on my way down.
Lazy...Medical condition but I run a corporation and am getting better and doing things.
Bathing issues...Crap i fit the damn stereotype. (same condition as lazy. And I seriously have a condition I am not making that up as others do)
Basement...Ha thankyou I don't.
Swords...I don't have swords ether. Though I am looking at some replicas which look sweet but as quite expensive. Am I allowed to post a link for that as I know we are not allowed to outsourse things but I don't know if that fits the rule or not. I will air on the side of contion on this.
Castle...Does corporate fallout bunker count as a castle. Man I wish I had one of those it would be sooooo sweet. LOL. Well when i get richer.
If you build it nerds will come.
Are you serious?
Yes. And keep it under a billion its all I got...On me. Ah ha ha ha.

Fat: No, I'm actually quite thin.
Live in Basement: No, I have my own room and I don't even have a basement.
Foam swords and castle: I had foam swords and a castle..........when I was 3 years old.
Embarrasing myself: Absolutely not, in fact, I'm actually quite popular for being a gaming expert.

All games are in my top floor bedroom
Fat, I wish. 95 lbs 5'7" for 16
Not so much lazy but unmotivated
Having a fat sword and a castle would just look stupid
Embarass myself, who hasn't 4 times a week

I'm guilty of being lazy, and pretty chubby. Size 10 and snug. 
My computer was in the basement for a very long time, but when we got our second computer years back, there was no room for it. Finally brought it up to my room this year (though it's sitting on my dresser since there still is no room). I would of brought it up much earlier, but our ethernet modem is confined to a telephone outlet, as well as something else, in the basement.
Now we have two ugly black cords running up two flights of stairs, but I'm happy.

Technically I should fit this stereotype however the fact that I run like 7 miles a day keeps me at a lean 6'0" and 135lbs.
"The stereotype of a gamer is we are fat, lazy, we live in a basement with foam swords and a castle, and can always end up embarrassing ourselves. But I want to know is this true do some gamers really do this or is it just a false stereotype?"
-Skinny as a twig.
-Pretty active overall, used to run a lot, at least. Nowadays it's more school and shit.
-My basement is unlivable, my computer is in a separate room.
-I do not have foam sword or a foam castle, but it seems kinda cool.
-I can end up embarrassing myself to other games due to my inconsistency at games.
-I can end up embarrassing myself to non-gamers due to my apathy towards most other forms of entertainment (there's only like 2 authors I like, I hardly watch movies, American Idol is terrible, etc, etc)
So, yeah, no. I certainly don't fit that stereotype, but I don't think that's even the stereotype anymore at all. And even if you do, it doesn't make you less of a person.
Maybe for WoW players, but over a couple years, that will change for the better too.

Besides, I don't see how "real-life" living conditions affect anything.
Or penis size.
Or post count.
Or how hot my girlfriend is.
Or having a girlfriend at all.
"lol u nub u liv in ur parentz basment n ply dis gam al day"
^ Common response to when I kill someone.
Even if it were true, I fail to see how it affects me or you at all. All I know is that my shot hit and you dropped dead.

That reeks like a stale Something Awful joke that was funny for a few minutes in 1999. In fact, I'm pretty sure that it is Fragmaster doing his nerd skit.captainwillies said:

I'm sick of these stupid stereotypes, not that most gamers are doing anything to reverse it.
