    thephntm, your obviously a fan of the Wii. the thing is most people don't see how a Wii gamer could actually be considered a Hardcore Gamer.

    Yes, the Frat Boy is by far the worst. You described everything here so perfectly accurate, it was pretty funny.

    Cartman is a devil child if he was given an Xbox.

    So ricono, how is it that if someone defends the wii it makes them a forum abuser? the wii is hardly an internet forum.

    i agree with Xeacons.

    oh, God, this is terrible. I've met every single one of these people. Number one is the worst. The ones that call you bro before screaming about chicks and how hardcore halo gamers they are. It's people like this that almost make me ashamed to like games.

    lol I know at least one person for everyone of those Stereotypes

    Wii is ok, graphic really suck... but honestly, ps3 or Xbox,there both great. I have a 360, but there both cool. WII family is hilariouse.

    does liking pokemon make me a devil child? despite the fact that i'm fourteen and never done a single one of those things?

    Hey, you forgot: The Game Store Manager The true reincarnation of the comic book store owner, this guy is store policy at every Gamestop and EB. Some rumors say the franchise has its own factory that makes these guys. Resembling Jamie from Mythbuster with a glandular problem, these guys are snobbish experts on everything closely related to games. Having to deal with parents and grannies who don't know the difference between an Xbox and an Atari, it's understandable how these guys became the way they are. However, they continue to treat the most hardcore gamer as a lost boy they must guide to salvation. As self-proclaimed connoisseurs, they know exactly which games are good and bad, praise Windows Vistas, and snicker at all who believe otherwise. "You're buying THAT?!" Makes buying and selling used games just not worth it.

    Thankfully I do not fit any of those categories. I know at least one person from each category (yes even the horrid #5) and there is no way to truly be friends with them (at least in my opinion, if you can do it all the more power to you), acquaintances is as far as I let it go, otherwise I end up having to deal with them for more then once a month. The devil children are the most horrid to deal with imho. The rest are just mostly annoying.

  • pauzeris - March 24, 2009 7:21 p.m.

    Omg...I think I'm half #2 O_O

  • Smiffy99 - March 21, 2009 12:43 p.m.

    Okay, Frat boy, bottom paragraph; you lost me at "fog".

  • ajcull - March 18, 2009 8:32 p.m.

    Great job, i am early teens too though and , yeah, there's always some kid who hasnt hit puberty yet, going on about how he just did my mom, and your mom and everyones mom and who's goal is to make the world a gang of homophobic bastards

  • noobmasteroftehworld - March 13, 2009 3:06 a.m.

    i love all the pictures of the sterotypes. they all have those huge, goofy teeth and i die every time i see them

    Wow, this is hilarious. I just googled "stereotypical gamer" for a project I'm working on, and came across this. Sadly, I actually fit into the #3 category. Yes, we do actually exist. (I'm the mom, Hubby & I both play with our kids, and no, they aren't the devil children.. They'd end up grounded if they were)! I actually found a place to hang out, that's trying to bust the typical gamer image. It's a sort of Myspace for gamers. http://www.gorgeousgamers.com/ It's a pretty fun place to hang out & chat with other gamers!
