Pro gamer, although I'm technically also a Retro Gamer as well.

Then you play at tournaments, which is fine, you aren't a pompous tourneyfag in that sense. I've been around them and I can't stand being around them, and that's in anything. I'm not much of a tournament person as I don't really have much to prove.

iorilmao You sure do hate tourneyfags!

I don't know which category I fall in, they all seem so EXTREME! I have the good qualities of many of them and the flaws of none. Am I perfect?

Rec/Retro Gamer, to the bone.

So I'm at a random family gathering, bored out my ass, and find myself playing Wii skiing with a bunch of middle-schoolers. I had never played Wii before, and all of them had. So they teach me the controls, I dick around for a second with the calibration to get a feel for it...and then I proceeded to win 4 straight races against them, all on different play settings (bobsled, snowboard, etc.).

I removed myself after that, not wanting to demoralize a bunch of kids. Part of me felt kinda bad, but there was also a sense of satisfaction. Kids will never have the gaming aptitude of young adults or adults, so it wasn't a huge achievement by any stretch. But a complete noob to video games wouldn't have beaten them, adult or not. I'm going to chalk it up to lingering shadows of Pro Gamer-dom in my blood and smile.

or the fact that wii sucks...

...and kids suck...

...and you don't suck...

😐

Yeah, I have no idea where the hell I'm going with this either.

Why wouldn't I? I don't hate tourney players, but tourneyfags are the kind of people who have snotty attitudes and are sore losers. People say jocks are bad. I think angry nerds are worse. 😛

Hm, a few of those describe meh.

I have aspects of Retro Gamer, still owning an Atari, NES, Super NES, Sega Genesis, and Nintendo 64, and I do think games have unfortunately become far too easy, compared to the Nintendo Hard difficulty back in the day. I have at times acted like the Assclown, as I do rather enjoy crushing weaker gamers under the weight of my massive E-Pen0r. Piratefag can fit me, I have hacked my PSP so that I no longer need to pay for games, hacked my old Xbox in the exact same way, though I generally do not PC game because I have no private computer to do so on. Not sure if even I am conceited enough to say I am a Pro Gamer or Tourneyfag.

I'm an assclown

=)

Though it's opposite for Elitist tastes. I have both consoles and PC, but rarely play PC.

Rec gamer with a distaste for piratefags.

Type of gamer? Duude, i rock them all. 😉

You're a grrl gamer?

Lol Yeah, angry nerds are worse, they never take action, they just whine and complain like it's a full time job. The ones belonging to the Fighting game and FPS genres are the worst. It's impossible to be a tourney*** and a decent human being at the same time. Once you cross that line, humanity is lost and failures in life just seem to shower you. I don't hate them though, once you realize what being a tourney*** does to people, you'll feel sorry. At least the type your talkin' about.

I'm a tournefag, except I don't actually care a huge amount about winning, I'm just competitive.
