Im known as the one with the attention span of a gnat, who fills boredom by blowing team mates sky high or running them over,or kicking them from high places, or some combination of the 3. Not many of my friends will play Crackdown 2 with me anymore since i got the quackers..cant possibly think why..
Among your gaming friends, what are you known for?

The multi tasker, if im playing a game im more offen then not texting, on here, or playing a hand held to grind in such.
The guy who sucks at videogames and tries to go Leeroy Jenkins in Miniscule Health mode. No, I did not capture the god damned flag.
In my circle of friends, I'm known as the crazy guy who does random crap just for the heck of it, and somehow manages to pull through tough situations through pure luck. Also, if we are playing split-screen and I am within arms-length of my buddies, usually I will signify my displeasure at cheap tactics by punching them in the arm or abdomen. Thus I now usually have at least three feet of space between me and my friends when we play (but they don't realize I can still throw stuff pretty hard! Mwahaha!) 
Does this apply to dungeons and dragons as well?
In D&D I'm almost always the guy who has Savage Species cracked open, and want to play something different. I would rather play a monster. Often, I resign myself to playing a support character- as in, a secondary character to the story arc- but that's fine by me, as long as I get to try something more to my tastes.
Since I'm playing a monstrous race, I choose an earthy fighter or ranger- type most often- something more in tune with the land than a 'normal' race can initially be. Also, monsters can present challenges both to play as well as to DM. Often a monster has a wicked edge in certain situations- but severely lacks in others, way moreso than the minor imbalances in the standard playable races. Due to the imbalance, this often makes my character a secret weapon or a heavy hitter, one that strikes, then gets out of the way.
My newest character is a flamebrother(salamander) cleric, in a battle against vampires. Good support role, but can definitely shine(ahem) on his own.

I'm the best at fighting and racing games in my group of friends. I've been playing them pretty much my whole life so I've grown to be pretty adaptive to any of them.
i am the known as the beast or the newb. I make mistakes and i always have crappy aim i don't snipe much but when it comes to melee weapons and using vehicles as weapons i'm fantastic. i'm great with turrets. They call me the beast because i will kill you out of nowhere and i will just kill savagely my opponents
I'm the guy who says stupid stuff like "Ahh, dirty air!!!" every time someone throws a smoke grenade in Gears of War.
Being naturally good at something as soon as I pick up the controller.
Also for being the best at Halo out of all of us.
And also for being the most strategic and knowing the best tactics.

I guess I'm the one that actually plays a variety of games. All my friends stick to Blizzard games. No joke. If it's not WoW, SC, or Diablo, they're not playing it. Frankly, they're narrow-mindedness bothers me but whatever. To each their own >_<
I'm the racer/driver, since that's my best genre of game, or the guy who just goes in with whatever he can find and dies a lot.
Me?
I am known by many names, The Warrior, The Bringer of Destruction, The Watcher, and in some groups even The One.
But my main title? The one that reigns above all?
Leeroy. Leeroy Jenkins.

The back door rat. My natural tendency is to find an area least defended or at least observed and exploit what they can't see. In CoD4 TDM I'd always try to sneak into the enemy spawn and spawn rape like there's no tomorrow. In SC2 my first objective is to build in the enemy base or at least close enough that it denies them expansion.
For becoming adept at just about any game very quickly. Also, when I play a game, I play until it's finished in one sitting if possible. The pace at which I play games is incredibly fast. I still get higher levels of completion and I still get the whole experience, I just dick around less.
The archetypes I regularly play with:
The Headstrong- Not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to team strategy, but is willing to lead the charge and burn the crap out of things. This usually fails more often than not so he tends to be seen as a liability. Likes: western RPGs, FPSs.
The Achievement Whore- "You WILL play this game with me until I get ALL of the achievements!" Likes: anything that has achievements.
The Extreme Snob- Five minutes in and he is already complaining about four different plot holes or control issues. Likes: anything that has an amazing story.
The Indie Geek- Think of the most recent obscure game you've played. He played it five years ago along with the entire back catalog of that developer. Likes: indie games, the more obscure the better.
The Friend of a Friend- "Hey remember me? We played Left 4 Dead that one time six months ago!" Likes: who knows?
The Mystery- You never know which games he plays until you're in a party setting and he wipes the floor with everyone. Likes: anything with multiplayer.
