Things that set you apart from the Escapist stereotype

[neoontime]

I Have a Wii
I believe in god and still go to church.
I never got into any of the Metal Gear Solid games.

 

[Sakurazaki1023]

I'm and American Console Gamer who...

Loves JRPGs
Doesn't play Valve games
Doesn't use steam
Enjoys Halo's single player
Thought Mass Effect and Fallout 3 were rubbish
Prefers Devil May Cry to God Of War

 

[Big-T]

uhh i dont own a ps3, xbox 360, or pc. (usually just play my friends)
..damn guess that one's been repeated.
....
....
well i smoke a lot of weed if that counts.

 

[secretsantaone]

I'm not a pompous, arrogant, elitist twat.

 

[Mr.Squishy]

Wasn't aware there even was an escapist stereotype

 

[moretimethansense]

I actually like JRPGs.
I actually enjoy motion controls.
The Wii doesn't need higher resolution, nor does it need "gritty, mature games"

Remember people, stereotypes, we aren't all like this.

Basicly this,
Except I'm not personally a fan of motion controlls I don't have any Particular hate for them either at least as long asd they are done well.

Also I like JRPGs do not think they need to be "westernized", I'm not a big fan of valve(portal only), I'm agnostic and don't attack people just because they have a faith, I'm a furry but don't bang on about it, I like anime and I'll Play just about any game at least once before bashing it.

That's about all I can think of right now.

 

[Sebenko]

No, I think I fit the stereotype pretty well.

And it was made up by people who aren't as good as us anyway.

Damn peasants.

 

[CoL0sS]

I'm Croatian, don't own more than one console and have never played Halo.

 

[SMILEYkyle21]

I find the escapist is actually a really diverse group of people, partly the reason why i bother to hang around here.

I can't imagine too many of you skateboard or ride motoX but hey i could be very wrong here. Let us know if you do

 

[shadyh8er]

I've never even played Half-Life (1 or 2) or Portal, so I don't know what all the fuss is about.

I like Halo.

The Wii is "meh."

I like mainstream things.

EDIT: I've been on the Escapist for seven months and I still don't know what "The Basement" is.

 

[psivamp]

"I hate the ocean, theme parks and airplanes,
Talking with strangers, waiting in line..."

OT: What is the stereotype?

I play the crap out of MW2. The first Mass Effect completely failed to interest me.

 

[GundamSentinel]

I love Final Fantasy, especially X, XII and XIII.
I love MW2.
I don't dislike Halo.
I don't hate.
I don't really like chocolate chip cookies.

I think Micheal Bay is a master at what he does.

He is a master at what he does. His job is making movies with explosions and he's very good at it.

 

[Ara69]

I have nothing to brush of the stereotype with...

 

[Kinokohatake]

I haven't been here that long but so far nearly every time I post a counter argument, said person blows up. "Piss off troll" stands out from an Avatar thread where there was debate on the story. So I guess the fact that I am not an ass.

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

I enjoy alot of JPRGs.
I read.
I am still a Transformer's freak, even if Bay ruined it.
I am a girl and I have a boyfriend.
I hate Halo.
I love Avenged Sevenfold
I like Eminem
...And I think that's it XD

 

[Jingermanoo]

I refrain from posting on every single thread.

 

[Jake the Snake]

I like Gamestop
I'm generally optimistic on most subjects
I don't have an antisocial "I'm single because I don't want a girlfriend" attitude when it comes to women/relationships.

 

[Mehall]

Everybody keeps asking what the Escapist stereotype is, and so I went through a number of the posts made on this forum and simply posted the opposite of what many people said. And thus, ladies and gentleman, I present to you the Escapist stereotype!

Wow, the Escapist stereotype is a FASCINATING individual, wouldn't you say?

What I am like compared...

Has a 360 because it was half the price. Wants a PS3, not trading one for the other though.
Will watch the films of Michael Bay but has other preferences (Coen Brothers for one)
Is nonathletic
Is a grammar nazi only when it actually detracts from the readability of the post.
Will happily play anything from Pong and Minecraft to Crysis and MW2. Gameplay and graphics are in a delicate balance.
Rarely plays games.
Thinks the Wii is a perfectly good console and has had one since launch day.

Doesn't "get" the appeal of sports games but each to their own
Is not a nihilist
