The Top 7... Stereotypical gamers we hate

They shouldn't exist, but they do - avoid these gamers at all costs

Words: Tyler Wilde, GamesRadar US

1. Obsessed forum guys

Usually plays: Nothing
Favorite snacks: Cheetoos, Doritos, Fritos

An eternally toggled caps lock isn't an accident - it's a state of mind. It's absolute contempt for decent conversation, and often even the topic of conversation. Not only does the obsessive forumite not like games, he doesn't play them. If he did, he wouldn't have time to rant about how shitty they are in asinine forum threads.

This stereotypical internet outcast rarely makes himself visible to the actual world, so we can only guess at his physical qualities. The lack of sunlight and any foodstuffs not wrapped in plastic has likely atrophied his muscles and turned the hue of his complexion to a putrid yellow. Dead skin from the bridge of his nose has become encrusted on the pads of his LensCrafter glasses, creating a thick sludge that occasionally drops bits of filth into his already crumb-infested keyboard. If it weren't for his mom insisting that he let her do his laundry, he'd never remove his favorite Akira t-shirt, which features streams of rotting Red Bull running through valleys of caked-on Cheetoo dust.

This stereotype is easy to avoid if you stay out of forums and comment threads, but who the hell wants to do that? Apply a mental douche bag filter and jump into our forums to spew some hate of your own.

jeez, if I could fit into one of these stereotypes, it'd probably be the PC gamer one. I own a PC and I love it, but I'd never insult any other console or raise it above say a 360 or PS3. I just happen to own a nice computer that can run some games that my Wii can't (I can't believe I bought a Wii...)

Yow. I must be closer to the fringe of gaming society than I thought.

I have encountered all but No. 2 on this list.

the wii-playing family is very good. thats exactly how they are in all the adverts. people that use wiis arent gamers, theyre happy middle class families that have somehow been unaffected by the credit crunch even though they dont go to work and have to pay fines for not sending their children to school. not all wii owners are like that though, all the gamers who bought a wii did so because they thought they might have some decent games e.g. cod but these are very rare and you cant be taken seriously as a gamer if you say you use a wii. any proper gamer will have a ps3 or 360, and will have sold their wii on ebay once they realised it was shit, but before everyone else had.

dahudge8, CoD_22, and lovinmyps3, you are all douchebags. maybe if you would actually play some games on the wii, you would realize that it is way better than X-lax 360 or gaystation 3.
