1. I like a huge range of games, I play just about everything. I have a few favorite genres though, RTSs, Fighters (I love them, but suck at them), RPGs, and Schmups (I'll get around to beating Ikaruga someday). Other than that I guess you could say I'm a hardcore gamer, since I have tons of games and have played them for thousands of hours. I'd disagree with you though, since for the most part I actually play games pretty casually.

2. I'm 15, and have never had a relationship.

3. As my avatar and groups may indicate, I love anime. Other than that I like to write and draw (mainly writing, as my illustrations are OK at best).

1. I like most genres any games that have good story and charachters really, I supose I prefer action RPG's and I prefer things to be in 3rd person, I don't like MMO's and I don't often play things online, I dont like realistic shooters but I still like shooters

2. Single now can't say I've had many boyfreinds I think I prefer it this way

3. Books, Movies, Im constantly seeking out posters and stuff to put on my walls (another obsession) I like art and used to be not too bad at it though I havnt been practicing latley,

4. sports, I dont hate sports and I could have liked them but I got put off because I sucked, plus being in a country town (where everyone plays sports, its what you do) and being part of a very small group of kids who werent even competent was annoying as if there was somthing wrong with you, parites/clubs I don't mind socialisiing but thease things scare me and I get sick of forcing myself to do thease things

What kind of gamer am I:

I'm a casual gamer these days, but that don't stop me from having fun sometimes.

I paly a lot of Rock Band with the guys or my girlfriend, I pwn in Black Ops, and I'm a whore on Diablo 2 currently, though everything else in my life comes before games.

Only reason I started playing games was thanks to a guy running me over with his car when I was 8, just 2 days after summer break started(I was crossing the street to get money for the ice cream truck, which was parked on the street with the lights on, which he sped past and ended up hitting me), mom bought me a SNES with the Donkey Kong Country Bundle from Costco to make me feel better since I was confined to a wheelchair for 6 months with a cast on my left leg from my toe to hip.

Me and my university buddies have fun on weekends when we got time, we try to beat speedruns for games like Zelda Link to the Past, been replaying every console Zelda game recently actually, along with the old classics from SNES, it's just something we love to do, hit the bar, go home, turn on the SNES, drink some Jager/Black Label/Patron whatever is good that night, just have a blast all night.

Relationship history:

Not much to say here, I'm 22 now (23 in Sept) and I was with a girl for the first time when I was 15, didn't date much until say 16, before and after that it was just hooking up with people, had only a couple long term relationships that came one after the other.

Being serious for a second, don't lose that girl you know is right for you haha you'll regret it, you could sleep with 100 random girls and that's cool for bragging rights with the boys, but when you got something special, not even 100000 girls could make up for that.

Real talk.

Non-game things I'm into:

I'm a carpentry apprentice by trade(joining the army for engineering), I like working on cars, mostly electronics and wiring(I have a awesome system, do all the work on my friends cars), I'm a 2-time gold medalist in FIRST Robotics Regionals, I smoke cigarettes casually(maybe a pack a month), I drink beer scarcely and spirits on weekends(favorites are Johnnie Walker black/blue, Patron gold, Jager, Capt Morgans Spice, Cherry Scnapps, liquid cocaines), I have lots jewelery, huge hat collection, I'm in love with Timberland boots, I workout daily, I own a house in Ontario Canada, I work on computers a lot and I can't live without music(favorite artists are Linkin Park, lil wayne, Rick Ross, Rise Against, Matthew Good, Foo Fighters, Our Lady Peace, Boston, Drake, Plies and others, those are in no order).

Non-game things I'm not into:

No more drugs for me, if you have the chance though make sure you do mushrooms, that shit is amazing, last time I did it I watched a marathon of Escaflowne episodes and I was trippin like all hell, but seriously, drugs are bad.

I don't like ignorant or snotty people, fast food, stupid people, stupid drivers, haters, fads or whats 'in' at the time, hard drugs or people who abuse casual drugs, I've lost a lot of friends that way, if you wanna smoke dope or some shit thats cool, but do it casually, or it becomes a habbit. Plus, that shit is expensive if you want a good 5.0 sativa, you smoke 1000 blunts a day and you're just fried 24/7 and can't get high anymore.

That's me, damn that's a HUUUGE post haha

1. Gamer
I would like to play more pc games, but my computer sucks to much to play anything good. So i stick to being old school and running emulators of Nes, Snes, N64, and GBA games. I recently bought demons souls and started a new character with the name "..." literally. I also have been playing FF XIII, yes i like it, ONLY because i hate other Final Fantasy's. I also still need to beat Lords of Shadow on the xbox.

2.Relationship
Single, I dated a girl last year for a week before she told me to bugger off. So now i have grown to use to the single life that dont think i can get into a relationship nowadays.

3. Non game likes
I like to do both origami and paper crafts so my main art works with paper. I write, sorta, I am still doing concept work for one story while working out the plot holes and characterization for another. Its been five years since i started the first story but i dont want to rush it because its my personally little baby that must be raised with care. Been running through netflix and watching classics that are available like Robo-cop and The Evil Dead.

4.Non game not into
Sports, Politics, books...even though I want to be a writer... Anime, im a manga guy, and that's it.

-what kind of gamer are you?
Uh, I guess I'm a "hardcore" gamer. I mean, I started playing video games when I was really young, but mostly stuff on the PC 'cause my dad's a gamer, too. Things like Unreal Tournament and Mech Warrior and Rune and being freaked out at Half Life. My first console was a PS1 (lol Tekken 3). Then I got a PS2, and then, eventually, an Xbox 360. I play pretty much anything, though not equally (time and skill-wise). I hate to fit into that stereotype of girl gamers who play mostly RPG's and don't touch FPS -- I really do enjoy first (and third) person shooters -- but I play single player games/modes waaaaay more than I do multiplayer. My favorite games tend to be FPSRPG's and sandboxes (i.e. Fallout, Mass Effect, RDR). Sometimes I play stuff like Starcraft or Soul Calibur, but not often.

-relationship history
I dated a guy a couple years ago. Nothing serious, and the break up wasn't a big deal. Was "talking" to a guy somewhat recently, but that didn't work out and it was a bummer. Haven't been interested in anyone for a while. I'll probably just reproduce by budding.

-non game things you are into
I play the harp. It's neat. I also like reading (fantasy and sci fi mostly -- what did you expect?), writing, and martial arts. I love pretty much anything done by Joss Whedon, and The Guild. I also like guns. And, you know, shooting them (usually at the range).

-non game things you are not into
Clingy girlfriends who get angry at me because I play Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood with their boyfriends online, whiners, liberals (haters gonna hate, etc), people who talk excessively, drugs, homework.

What kind of gamer are you?
I'm a fan of mech, music, FPS and beat-em-up games. That doesn't mean I won't dabble into other genres, with RTS games being the exception. If more foreign games had region-free versions that didn't cost an arm and a leg, I'd have many more of those.

Relationship history
Nothing. May not happen due to social anxiety (can't exactly tell someone to "get over it" if one is merely an outsider looking in)

Non-game things you are into
Cooking, bicycles...

Non-game things you are not into
Anything social.

-What Kind Of Gamer Are You?
I started gaming about 4~5 years ago, and in the short period of time I've come to be a competitive gamer, which consumes most of my time and effort. I currently am playing competitively in only one game (as even ONE is hard to manage) but I plan on switching games soon.

-Relationship History
I've had a couple girlfriends, one girl who I still regret letting go, but what can you do.

-Non Game Things You Are In To
Photography, Video Editing (I make money off of editing frag movies), Avid hunter/shooter with a large collection of firearms. I vote Independent and I prefer to think rather than talk. My favorite team has to be the Indianapolis Colts, as I got Manning's autograph about 8~10 years ago, can't remember the exact time.

-Non Game Things You Aren't In To
Fashion, Shopping, Annoying/"Bitchy" women regardless of how much I'd want to feel every inch of them *cough*, and lastly people who "play videogames for fun with no intention of improving." I don't really get the attitude behind that, although I don't hate people who think that way.

What kind of gamer are you?
I guess I'm some hybrid between casual and "hardcore" gamer. I don't consider the term hardcore to be the correct word for it, but it's the commonly used one. My first gaming platform was a kind of computer that I don't remember the name of. My first real console was the PS1. I play a large number of different games. I've tried some of everything, but my favourite genre is the platformer.

Relationship History
I've had no serious relationship. Hell, I've hardly had anything that could be called a relationship. I'm not one that really try to get one. It's not some complicated story behind it. It's just that I don't have the motivation to try getting into one.

Non-Game things you are into
I have some minor interests like comicbooks, books, movies etc. But my real non-game interest is philosophy and theatre.

Non-Game things you are NOT into
I don't like hitting bars, (exept the classy type where the music isn't loud and people just talk over a glass) I hate the loud music, I hate having to yell out to the bartender if I want anything other than a beer.

-what kind of gamer are you?

I play a bit of everything. Some action games, some RPGs, some totally random games...I play constantly. That being said, I play almost casually.

-relationship history

Had no luck with girls until recently. Asked a totally awesome schoolfriend out a few weeks ago, and it worked out really well. We've made cookies, we've played games together (she's a gamer too), we exchanged valentine's day gifts, and we've done a lot of cuddling. ^^

-non game things you are into

Used to be big on D&D, not so much anymore. I'm also a big reader (or Booker, for those who watch Extra Credits, XD).

-non game things you are not into

Gossip, Drama, most physical sports.

-relationship history
Ehh, I've had a lot of fuck buddies and I've been around a lot just enjoying people and sex. I've had two serious relationships. The first one was a disaster, he was an utter asshole that treated my like shit, in the end I had the balls to stand up and say "fuck you, I'm off"

Browsing crap on the interwebz, going out and having a drink or ten with friends. I also like going over friends houses' with a big group and having a smoke.

-what kind of gamer are you?
I consider myself a casual gamer. Yes, I own three game systems and over 30 games for them all, but I don't think I'm that hardcore. Overall, I don't have a type of game that really sums up my interests in the media, but I admit that I need a story that is either totally serious and well-written...or just camp :)

-relationship history
I've only had two boyfriends in my entire life and both relationships lasted around 6 months. Currently, I'm single and looking for a boyfriend but so far I seem to get no offers. Apparently I intimidate men.

-non game things you are into
Hiking, photography, men :3, fanfiction, fiction in general, going to movies, making things, cosplay, listening to what my mum calls "grandma music", text-RPG, working out at the gym, going to the beach.

-non game things you are not into
Partying (the typical college crap basically), socially awkward people, drugs, terrible writing, loli/shotacon (It's child porn to me), most anime, high-school movies.
