An article I wrote for gamrReview about what Matt Ashbaugh (a fellow gamrReview writer) and I perceive to be the four main categories of gamer.

What do you think?

what about the nude gamer?

Yeah I saw that you had done this, it's pretty neat actually. Not a lot to disagree with there. If I had to rank myself (and you shouldn't), I'd likely say Specialist from the descriptions you gave.

Makes me think I should really get a move on with my articles. I have about 3 or 4 on the go currently, but I just can't find the time to complete them!



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

You have time to hang around here though - get back to work you lazy dog!

I guess it depends on whether you're nude alone or with other people.

That's probably a subset of each main category.

OT: I'm definitely in the Expert category. Maybe somewhat of a specialist as well. In other words, I'm a nerd.



I am the Playstation Avenger.

I don't fit in any of those categories... what's wrong with me?!?! =(



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Core / Expert.

I don't play casual or social games. Strictly anti-Nintendo, anti-handheld and anti- tablet.

And other than a few 90's PC games (blade runner, AVP, Half Life) I have no interest in video games pre-xbox era.

For me, gaming started in 2002 when I first played Halo, Splinter Cell and Time Splitters.

I do buy a lot of games 20 - 25, mostly for 360 and a few PS3 games.
