[Markness]

I like halo, otherwise, stereotype ftw.!

 

[VargRaev]

Isnt the main Escapist stereotype "trying to be different from the rest of the community" ?

[Infernai]

I rather enjoyed the original force Unleashed
Fable series is a guilty pleasure of mine, so i rather enjoyed the second game (Contrary to popular belief)
I don't think Dante is a Cliche character or a jackass, and he is infact a cool character
I think Hideo Kojima is a GENIUS

I hate stairs.
I hate vans.
I hate planes.
I hate small Towns.
I hate Sewers.
I hate Hospitals. And Doctors, and lawyers, and cops.

EDIT: The Escapist has no stereotype, your argument is invalid

Francis, is there anything you DON'T Hate? (Sorry, couldn't resist)

Shit, I thought most people here were in their 20s not in their teens. (joking, I'm mainly joking here, if this post bothers anyone I will delete what I said.)

 

[Terramax]

[cryogeist]

i love halo
i love fallout
don't like MGS

EDIT isn't the whole point of this is to be different anyway i think you should of said "how are you different from the rest"

 

[Safe in the Dark]

I am me and nobody else is me, I am myself, therefore I am.

 

[Chaos-Spider]

I play Sports
I don't Bash Religion
I have a sliver of faith in Humanity
I'm an Evil Maniacal Megalomaniac Hellbent on Igniting the Sparks of Chaos...Beautiful Chaos..

Oh and I own a Metal Gear...

If you own one of those in real life you are secretly a mad scientist with the financial property and technical/mechanical know how to rival Tony Stark.
This makes you awesome.

I honestly wasn't aware there was a stereotype, but I'm female, do a sport, like pokemon, play Magic: The Gathering (the paper version) and read the tie-in novels and I have deviantart but not Facebook.

There are probably other things that set me apart form a non existent stereotype (other than existing), but I can't remember them right now.

 

[MetallicaRulez0]

I find Valve to be laughably overrated
I love Call of Duty, even Modern Shitfare 2
I love Halo

 

[Berithil]

I'm a conservative Christian

I enjoy MW2 ( at least single player)

I believe some movies are good just for a popcorn flick (ie. 1st transformers)

That's all I can think of at the moment.

 

[laserwulf]

I have a girlfriend.

Just kidding! I -do- have one (and she loves Portal), but I know there are plenty of other Escapists with significant others. Back on topic:
-World of Warcraft didn't impress me much. It's pretty, but nothing really innovative to me.
-I've been in two more combat zones than most of the kids playing MW2.
-Proper spelling and punctuation aren't alien & frightening to me.

 

[SimuLord]

I love sports games.
I don't play first-person shooters (or indeed, multiplayer at all.)
I don't consider myself a geek or a nerd.
I'm devoutly religious and have absolute faith in the gods.
And I've actually been laid in recent memory.

 

[sheic99]

No-one realised we had a stereotype?

It's pretty much elitism & egotism. Insufferable elitism & egotism.

Gee I wonder how that came about?

Personally, I think it's the [quote=Kuliani]Welcome to The Escapist forums!

(The Internet's version of the Lighthouse of Alexandria)[/quote]
that's on the guideline page more than anything.

 

[Kollega]

Let's see...

I'm not American or British.
I don't hate Americans or British.
I don't hate people in general and kids especially, and haven't "lost faith in humanity" (well... most of the time).
I don't hate religion (though i don't like it either).
I don't hate Michael Bay - not every movie has to be "artsy" and thought-provoking.
I don't consider myself to be "the only human in the world of sheep" as many here seem to do.
I don't hold any pretensions that this site is some sort of "last bastion of intellegence" or anything.
I friggin' despise elitism and snobbery in any form, and would rather see a world of equality than of class division.
I friggin' despise most aspects of Warhammer 40000... really, the only salvageable aspects are tanks and Comissars' hats.
I'm not much of an anime fan either.
I think that Portal is grossly overrated. It's a good game, but not "THE BEST ONE EVAR".
I'm not a nihilistic jerk, and don't pretend to be one for some stupid reason.
I'm not a sociopathic jerk, and don't pretend to be one for some stupid reason.
I'm not a Search Bar nazi.

...wow, that was really negative towards this place and the people here, now wasn't it? But i can't find any "positive" aspects of the stereotype that i wouldn't fit. Probably because any "positive" parts of the Escapist's stereotype (intellegent, polite, etc) more or less apply to me. And no, i'm not flattering myself - not really.
