Pony Lover? If it's cute and cuddly, I'll play it? And maybe give it a hug?

How about, I have been playing games for almost 30 years, and I see no problem with playing a game that's 'cute and cuddly', as long as it's fun and enjoyable. It seems to me that the result depended entirely on that one question of which character I most relate to. What were my choices? A list of gruff and empty, masculine archetypes, or 'Mario, et. al.'.

So despite me answering the questions regarding story with the options that make the story seem the most important part to me, I got the Explorer, which means I don't care about the story... wierd.
Same but with Pony Lover. I'm all about the narrative

This is what I got as well. Yes I do like to explore and enjoy the game world, but my real interest is the story, characters, etc. *shrug*

First I got Explorer (yuck! sandbox?!) and Dead Eye (Damn you FPS!) right after =_=

Inconsistent ... seems more like me anyway

I got "The Explorer".
I disagree, and I felt some questions didn't have enough possible answers, so yeah. Woot.

I got the Best of the Best and then retook it and got the Explorer, but neither seem to fit me well enough. I don't really care about leaderboards and achievements, and I usually play through the main story first then explore so neither seemed right for me.

Heh, I think it's broken :p
Considering 2 of those questions should outright block the explorer option for me. (One being "whats the most important part of the game for you" - and I said story)

Tinker - I guess that's about right... Although in fairness much of my tinkering is to setup levels/campaigns for my gaming group...

These quizes are fun. Too bad they are almost never accurate.

First, I got the Explorer and I have no idea how that came up from the answers I provided. I don't actually explore a whole lot in games at all. Infact, I get annoyed if I have absolutely no sense of direction in a game, leaves me feeling lost.

The second time I tried it I got the Simulant. Better, but not exactly accurate either. While I do not mind a degree of realism in games, I don't have the time or patience to play ultra-realistic flight simulators or the like.

No idea how I got that one.

The quiz only decides that based on 1 or 2 questions...

[br] The Pretentionist [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/quizzes/result/83.46-The+Pretentionist] [br] Take this quiz [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/quizzes/view/83]

I believe I got this because I prefer reading classic literature to light entertainment, and because I checked the story options. I don't know what all the other profiles are you get from this quiz, but the ones in this thread don't seem half as mean or snooty as The Pretentionist. Quiz-maker, are you serious? Liking good story-telling is pretentious? So you're assuming that people say they like good stories only fake their enjoyment of stories (and art, I assume, based on the flavour text)? Everyone in the world loves a good story! Art and entertainment go hand in hand.

I got "Best of the Best" as well. Pretty neat quiz, although I did get stumped by a few questions (having never played Braid, Uncharted, Halo, or GTA... I know, I know... but I've played over 300 other games, alright?). Does seem to suit the obsessive compulsive completionist in me though!

Totally agreed here. I notice one particular thing. There seemed to be no reference to RPGs anywhere in the quiz and it was very FPS and RTS-heavy. I'm an RPG fan, and let me tell you, the vast majority of RPGs, even JRPGs, are not "cute and cuddly". I get it, I don't like playing FPS's, but don't imply that I most enjoy "childish" games because of it.
