I've been a gaming-forum-going gamer for fifteen+ years. I can't quantify the change that it may have made because that was basically half my life ago and I've changed as a person, let alone a gamer, drastically in that time. I grew from being a preteen N64 fanboy to now a professional, highly trained and educated adult, with a wife and a daughter, that owns almost every major console that's released in the past thirty years and a huge collection of games to go with.
I can't say that my widening of gaming tastes has evolved from being involved in gaming forums. In fact, I sometimes feel like the communities actually make me want to be part of them LESS. But I've definitely evolved tremendously as a gamer. Now, I'm going to go play some Poker Night 2 on my Xbox, and then smash some ping pong with PS Move, and I might wrap it up with a little bit of 3DS Pokemon action.
