How would you define a gamer? what are three or more good characteristics about a gamer?

perhaps what do u think of when u hear of a person being a gamer?|||A gamer is a person who posesses and displays a genuine love of video games. Gamers will try any game once (aside from those crappy movie and cartoon games), but generally a gamer has a devotion to a particular series or platform. They have the ability to pick up just about any game and start playing it efficiently. They have spent WAY too much money on video games and accessories. They have the knowledge that graphics are meant to enhance the gaming experience, not define it.





When you have a gamer friend, you will always have something to do with that person: play video games! Gamers can be good friends...their loyalty extends past their penchant to play only Nintendo games. Gamers are generally pretty intelligent (for reasons unknown).





I'm proud to be a gamer, and all that it implies. I have great gamer friends, and I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world.|||Someone who:


a. Knows about Atari 2600 and Intelevision


b. Knows about up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Select, Start.


c. has excellent hand eye coordination


d. Has beaten Mike Tyson's Punchout and completed Contra with one man.|||Gamer=Someone who plays video games as a hobby





That is how I would define it.|||1.he is a person without life


2. he is a person without life


3. he is a person without life|||most of these people calling themselves gamers today wont say the same in 10 years. they love what they get with their instantly gratifying games today. gaming is getting perverted by the masses.





what gamers get:


1. better hand-eye coordination


2. better observers


3. better strategists


4. better at accepting and compensating for loss (for the most part, hopefully)


5. better at solving problems





what a good gamer needs:


1. willingness to play through games you don't first consider masterpieces


2. acceptance when a game has not met expectations


3. distrust for EA


4. distrust for Hil-Dog Clinton's gamer-hating ways (you don't have to vote republican, but if you love your games you wont vote for this joke of a human)


5. passion for gaming as a whole





by the way, reciting the contra code doesn't mean you are a gamer. it means you are a tool.|||gamers are usually thin or fat, never in between, rarely a girl, about 30% are nerds, and usually the hardcore ones are always inside gaming.





good:


1)excellent hand-eye coordination


2) usually good with hardware and software


3) can pwn among newbs :P





bad:


1) usually --no, always looked down upon by preps


2) always thought of as a nerd


3) sometimes keeps you from having a social outside life|||always playing, don't mind image, buy a lot of games, computer homepage is on a cheat site|||I think of different levels of gamerhood.





All gamers (to be worthy of the title) share a love for games, spend too much time playing them and own at least one console and/or gaming pc.





However, higher levels of gamerhood require skills at one's favorite games, a truly obsessive priority setting in terms of time-management and often include snobbish attitudes toward genres and consoles outside of what they like to play.





The truly special class ("special" should be read in the "educational" sense) are the MMORPG gamers. While they have the ultimate standing under the guidelines above, they tend to be so obsessive and consumed that they generate a bad image for the rest of us gamers. And, speaking as an ex-MMORPG gamer, you can basically forget any other games. Or any other life.|||gamer is someone who:


-plays a game


-knows a lot of information about a game


-won a lot of games
