I'm known as the smartarse computer guy to my mates, even though I know someone that can hack easily and knows windows like the back of his hand. This is mainly due to me being able to fix most of my friends computer problems, and to some of my friends dismay, loves to mod (I mean seriously, some of my friends hate mods, because a host managed to work out how to use the console in TF2)

I'm known as "the gamer" in RL circles. I never known many other people who game on a regular basis.

On WoW I was known as "the tank". There was the occasional amusing moment when people forgot I had alts, and they'd start wondering where I was, as there was a dungeon in need of a good tanking, and I'd relog and then there'd be "..oh yeah, forgot so-and-so was your alt"

To myself, I know myself as the meat shield in MMOs, and the suicidal one in FPS. Also, my least favourite weapon is the grenade - I swear those things have it in for me!

I'm the guy who "OMG you suck at Halo!" (Although I tend to be the best at Swords-only matches, don't ask how THAT works)

Although I'm the RPG guy. I'm the one who actually can break the game's stats down in order to maximize characters.

I also tend to have encyclopedic knowledge of certain games. Such as:
"Oh hey, how do I get past this level?"
"Oh, the ladder is on the bottom right of the screen. Make sure you equip ice magic and your machine gun, the boss coming up is weak to it"

I'm also the one who can understand the plot. I tend to have to fill everyone in on it when they tune out

I am the raging juggernaut, i shout obscenities that would probably get me arrested if i were in public and have a sort of gung ho attitude that my peers find hard to match or counter. Mind you, i don't just take my assault rifle and go bananas, i first pick something like a shotgun and a battle rifle or its peer in the game of the moment. and for all my aggressive idiocy i have the innate ability to keep a kill to death spread vastly higher than my friends despite weather or not I actually got more kills.

but mostly its the yelling nasty insults over a headset.

I'm the 'Covert Ops' player in almost every RTS / tactical game, also including Battlefield 2 (Always commando / sniper). I love eliminating enemies using stealth / jetpack / teleportation / sniper units in strategy games and attack them from behind/inside, instead of massing tanks and *steamroll time!*.

I'm also the Warhammer 40.000 fan~

I'm known for warning my friends that I get really competitive and still get blamed for sucking the fun out of what ever game we play. Though I know it's true, they're kinda pathetic themselves for mucking around too much online.

I want new friends.

I'm the guy who betrays the party and kills everyone for the lolz.

If you can't kill each other in the game, I'm the mage.
This, but not the mage bit.


If we can't shoot em', I either go commando (even in a stealth game) or sneak about with a knife and a silenced 10mm.

I don't know, you tell me. Probably the tank, the one with the strongest character and biggest gun.

I'm the guy who goes 'desu' a lot...

Besides that, for some blank reason I'm the one they expect to be exceptionally skilled at any game I touch before I've ever tried them.

I'm also known as the stupideststest guy on the planet, because I don't update whenever a new version is released. (drivers 'n win7 'n such)

I think I'm the only one amongst my friends that follows the wonderful "If it ain't broke, DON'T FIX IT" (Last time I tried was me very expensive...)

I am The Knowledgable One. I know everything about every game I play. I read manuals, wikis, forums, etc, for any and all info on charaters, plotlines, missions, classes, builds, weapons, secrets. I fully immerse myself in the world until I have explored everything and know all there is to know. I go out of my way to do as much as I can in the game, to the extent that I am the only person I know with any platinums on psn (I have 5) and have over 900 trophies, all accrued in my efforts to see and do everything in as many games as possible.

In direct battle, I am The Agressor, or The Tank. I prefer simple or powerful weapons with which to do damage, and will glady lay down as much fire/damage as possible on the enemy in the shortest time in order to get the job done, though I am not apposed to the occasional bit of stealth work to better launch a deadly attack or to avoid combat altogether in order to complete objectives while the enemy is busy/distracted elsewhere. Where others will sit back and snipe, I will push forwards and break the enemy line so that my own team can continue on, even if I fall in the process at least the objective will be completed.

I'm normally known for the massive heart; I'm not the best but any time I'm put in a difficult situation (like being left on your own against like 6 other players) I can usually hang in there for aaages or sometimes even get a sneaky win. It makes for great entertainment, especially on GoW

Well when I played CoD2 I was known for my bind Glade's Random Nades. The grenades weren't actually random just thrown in the general direction of people. As we had AM mod I would accumlate over 20 grenades being a sort of sniper and not dying a lot thus creating a little artillery strike in the direction of the enemy team.

We use to have a Halo night every once in awhile after work with my bosses and a few co-workers. For awhile I was the most skilled player, but as time went on and I started playing other games I fell into the "average but still good" player. I could still kick some ass in Halo I am just a lot more risky now.

The only multiplayer game I really play is Bad Company 2, and I guess I'm considered as The Demolitions Crew. I like it when things blow up. Particularly enemy things.

In RTS's, I am the Support unit. Specialising in Ambushes and distractions that maximise damage while the opponent is defending my teammates raid. (usually drop podding (DoW) or nydus worming/warping in units) I also assist in the defense of allies bases. On my own, i generally can hold my own, but work best with teammates.

In FPS's online, i am the lone wolf stalker. I get behind enemy lines and sabotage their efforts to repel my team mates. Making me deadly at close range.
I can also be a tank killer too, in games like halo, where i (somehow, these guys must not have been so bright) took out 2 wraith tanks in the span of 30 seconds.

In FPS's LANing. I am the one man army. Literally.
Teams win cause i am on them (and scored most of the kills) I wish it doesnt sound so talked up, but ask any of my friends and they can agree.

Worst driver ever. I'm always assigned to the gunner seat because if I'm behind the wheel, the car's upside down more often than it's not.

I'm also the one that gives up the quickest. This also leads to me being the one that screws around instead of helping the team. All in good fun, mind you.
I got about five of us just "chicken running" around on Call of Duty 4. Funniest killcams ever.
