They got me right! I love L4D and playing with friends, and sometimes strangers...if they're cooperative. No Mr. Solo Dolo for me.

Ah, sorry I misunderstood you. But yeah, I agree with you on that point too. I think a lot of it has to do with the current perception of the Wii and its marketing towards younger gamers. I think, too, that Nintendo is also shifting its marketing further "east", if you will. As I am sure both you and I know (being that we both live here), "cuteness" has been a big part of Japanese pop culture for a while now, and having things be "cute" helps sell things in Japan to both children and young adults. Even the toughest of 12-year-old boys here has a soft spot for Pikachu and Piplup. One of the funniest things I've seen here was a Sports Day banner for my elementary school's Red Team featuring Elmo with his fist raised surrounded by fire. They thought it was "tough" but you would get laughed out of the competition in America with that as your flag. It's the whole American Kirby Is Hardcore [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AmericanKirbyIsHardcore] trope. It doesn't have to feature buff guys with guns or a zombie apocalypse to be considered "tough" and fun.

That Elmo example made me laugh. I see the same thing with how universally liked cute stickers are in my classes. Funnily, som boys will be at a certain age when a kawaii animal sticker will disgust them, but a smiling notepad will be just fine.

Kawaii is used to mean cute today but it comes from a verb that means to 'care for', or at least that was how it was explained to me years ago. That has now made for some very wide usages of the adjectives, as it can be applied to everything from Elmo to old men!

But yes, the obsession with muscles and brawn back home is no better. It is nothing more than a caricature itself.

Hmmm. I got grouper. Sounds about right. Though, I feel the quiz could have used more questions and answers. There was a link to a quiz on here about a year back I took that was hardcore in depth. Anyone remember what it was called?

The Tinker "As is? As if. You know games are meant to be modified."

Thats right for me though, I spent more time in forge then I did in the multiplayer, and one of my favorite games ever is LBP.

I got "the grouper" but that isn't me at all. I rarely play multiplayer and most of my interest is in a game's story.

Take this quiz [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/quizzes/result/83.50-The+Jack+of+All+Games]

Jack of all games seems about right, I genuinely look down upon those who only play 1 genre of games (hardcore mmorpgers a prime example), and one of my mottos is "variety is the spice of life". My game library is diverse and I'm proud of it.

Ok the quizz got me, i might have elements of explorer and the tactician, but if i had to pick one of those outcomes, jack of all games sounds right ^^

Edit: I DO finish my games though! :O Just not as quickly as others might, if a game really hooks me i will focus on it and finish it in record time, otherwise the game will be one of many on my playlist, to be digested and enjoyed gradually.

I got Grouper and Dead eye, sounds like me. I like working with people and mowing down waves of mooks. Though I don't mind a good story once in a while.

Grouper...Master of Multiplayer. Nailed me. Being able to select multiple options would have been nice, I really didn't want to pigeon hole myself with just one answer on a couple of questions.

I got Grouper when I'm anything but... Explorer would be more accurate. I didn't even answer any questions favoribly towards being a grouper, and now I have this stupid badge thing saying I am one. Can't I ger rid of that or reorgnize them? I'd rather have my Pony on display.

I got the grouper!

Since I only play games on my own, and play for the experience, this is dead wrong. About as wrong as you can get.

Nice idea, but sad about the implementation.
