If they gave me 10 more questions it would've been more accurate.

None of the ones I got are right.

I made sure to take the quiz slowly, to make sure it's accurate, and my first time around I got 'The Simulant.'

I think it's very accurate, actually; I do enjoy a good challenge as much as anyone else, so Tactician could fit a little, so long as the challenges aren't hair-tearingly difficult, but overall I enjoy playing games that are fun, deep, and fairly realistic, so long as the latter doesn't get in the way of the 'fun' part.

So I got the dumbest answer. The one with the ponies? Yeah, that's wrong on so many levels.

[HEADING=2]The best of the best.[/HEADING]


"Achievements, leaderboards, whatever it is, you must conquer it. Because it is there."

That is nothing like me. At all. Thats like the complete opposite. I don't give two shits about achievements, or leaderboards. Hell I couldn't care less about those things.

Yeah, I think I mixed up my answers or something, because that is nothing like me.

Ok, second time:
[HEADING=2]The Explorer[/HEADING]



"Why bother with the main story when there's so much fun to be had in the sandbox?"

While that is a far better description of me than the first, it still isn't all that accurate. I love to explore in games, but I also love a good story. I don't find this quiz to be too good...

The Pony-Lover. Probably because I chose Little Big Planet over GTA IV...

NO NO NO! I didn't think you were being hostile at all. No worries mate! I think we have similar gaming habits, and both thought that quiz needed a lot more balance. My comments were in reference to how 'cute and cuddly' is now a sign of being a 'lame gamer' and not 'hardcore'. Apparently, reveling in the icons of gaming history is a sign of softcore'edness. The three options I made up reflected my disappointment with that.
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.

I got the Grouper, with some gangsters in the background.

I have to say, it wasn't as accurate as I'd imagine.
But than again, I'm not sure what the hell I am for kind of gamer.

There should be a Story-wise result for gamers who pay games for the story.

According to the quiz, I'm...

The Tinker


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

And to be honest, this is quite true. What's that sir? The user interface is worthless? Then screw it, I'm making my own. A community of user-created content makers that DOESN'T suck? You can bet that I'll be supporting them %100.

I have to admit mine is pretty accurate, once I got past the surprised of how what it was called and the image attached to it. That, and realized it fits in well with my badge team lineup.

.... The pony-lover....

no.. just no..

If it's cute and cuddly I'd sooner set it ablaze with magic than anything.

out of all of the choices I'd prpbably be more of an explorer or grouper.

It's hard to come to terms with this..
