The seven virtues of a true gamer.
Generousity: A willingness to help and to share information on the qualities of games without a self serving agenda.
Self awareness: The knowledge that ones own taste may not be shared by another.
Self control: The ability to be a good sport in multiplayer games and not ruin the fun of others. Being able to keep the controller out of the wall is also helpful.
Pride: To be happy for every great game released and to be supportive when the best efforts of a developer do not come to fruitition. A prideful gamer does not tolerate lazy efforts.
Confidence: To not fear the exploits of other games on other consoles, that it may weaken your own console of choice.
Fairhandedness: To understand the the value of the work developers put into games and to not shortchange them by stealing their work.
Understanding: Games are an artform that are meant to entertain first and foremost. Do not put anything before fun in games, because to do so will lead you to fanboyism.
Tease.
