Have you ever met an authentic guy gamer

[s0p0g]

very nice thread indeed!

and no, i'm just another non-gamer by this guy's definition ^^

I'm sorry.
This wasn't funny.

I think the other guy was a massive dick, but this thread isn't any better. Yeah, it's a parody... So what? Everyone who saw the other thread will know that it was extremely stupid. We don't need another thread to tell us that.

Also, why was his thread deleted, while this stays up?

Judging by your requirements, I am a authentic guy gamer. My first game was LoZ: OOT, which I played at my cousin's house when he was away. I've played WoW for 5 years, and I talk to my friend(s) all the time about games in public.

Truly I am a magnificent human being.

ok who are you to say CoD and Halo arnt real games, but Sims is.
also your not a gamer because you talk about games in a social situation where it is obviously innapropriate... i consider myself as a gamer as i am passionate and love video games. Sure i play an ass ton of CoD, but i also play TF2, have played WoW in the past and a LOT more, but i would definately not bring up gaming when at a party because im to busy being awesome if you know what i mean

Oh this thread gave me a good lol. I would have added something along the lines of "Alot of people have been getting confused(mostly boys)" for satirical accuracy. I know the OP is trolling, and the other thread's OP got enough abuse in his thread (which I doubt the 400+ comments where mostly girls complaning), but this does border on too far.

I love this thread so much I want to have sex with it.

A boy on the interwebs? Get back to the garage and fix my car.

You are my hero.

Not by those definitions, both myself and my freind meet three out of four though, I got in to gaming bexause he introduced me to it, he got in because his dad got him in to it.
By my definition though we are pretty bloody hardcore.

Note: I'm aware this is satire.

In response to ninjastovall0's thread on girl gamers.

Have you ever met an authentic guy gamer? (has adequate background in gaming) and these are the qualifications/qualities for being authentic:
1. They didn't get into gaming because their friends were into it, or because their parents just bought them a console/PC. Basically like other gamers, they saw a game and just intuitively knew they would enjoy it, despite absolutely no social/common experience of it with friends to indicate it might be fun.

Why does friends playing games mean you're DQed? First of all, your parents would have to buy you something, and then buy you the game. Almost nobody would count unless they were already in their twenties, maybe late teens in the mid 80s.

2. They actually play main titles like Sims and WoW that sell massive units and have online interaction (sorry CoD, Halo and other ultra-masculine space marine penis-fests, you're not real games).

You be trollin.

3. Whatever they like they have substantial knowledge about its past, such as being able to expain in detail the market circumstances that led Origin to agreeing to the EA takeover, the histories of Interplay and SSI and can carry a conversation by adding their own points/knowledge/past.(example: if the XBox/PS2 is their first, they probably can't).

So an authentic gamer knows lots of trivia? Hmmm... So you're essentially saying console gamers aren't real gamers.

4. They're willing to talk about gaming in public, even when they are trying to pick up a good looking girl who clearly isn't into gaming at a party, and even if most of the people in the conversation aren't actually interest in gaming.

So an authentic gamer is complete socially inept. You don't talk about stuff that interests nobody.

This is pretty funny, though I am rather disappointed so many people missed the satire.
Just adds fuel to the whole 'don't do sarcasm on the webs' argument.
