Things that set you apart from the Escapist stereotype

[Kurokami]

I like Halo
I like MW2
I like Eminem
I'm looking forward to the new Goldeneye
I don't mind Gamestop too much
I like GTAIV
I think that PS3>360
I find dual analog to be the most comfy way to play every game except strategy and some others

You guys?

I'm with you on about half of those. Personally I don't find that the Escapist is particularly pro Xbox though, I think the PC has more fans but most people seem to keep themselves above the fray in console wars.

 

[GLo Jones]

I don't have a superiority complex.

I don't believe robots will be the end of mankind.

I don't believe a law controlling the sale of videogames will be catastrophic to the industry.

Those are all I have off the top of my head.

 

[Wutaiflea]

I think there's a pretty varied community on here, but I suppose the closest thing to breaking the stereotype I have going for me is that I have absolutely no opinion whatsoever on Halo.

Never played them, probably never will, really don't see what the massive love/hate argument over it is about.

 

[De Ronneman]

So the 'Escapist stereotype' is the opposite of what the OP says? I'm confused.

LoL

I don't really understand this, IS there a stereotype? Shouldn't we first raise a topic for that?

But here goes nothing:
-I don't want to ask any citizen of any country anything, ever.
-I own a Wii
-I don't own an XBox
-I like Grey's Anatomy til

Spoiler: srsly?

Also, everyone quoted this, but it's so incredibly funny, I have to too:

I wasn't aware we were stereotyped. WHAT ELSE HAVEN'T I BEEN TOLD!!!!!!

 

[Casual Shinji]

I'm Christian.
I have faith in humanity.
I don't care for Firefly.
I don't care for Cthulhu.

Its pretty much just a matter of stereotype and over appreciation for the game, personally I enjoyed the 1st one and anything after that became the same with a bit of difference, which is perfectly fine since that's what you'd expect in a sequel, it only became an issue once the stereotype of all halo players being immature pricks caught on that people really had problems with the games imo. I can't recall anyone really bitching about Halo 1 back when it came out.

I'd say we have a few stereotypes here, so naming a fact all don't have in common is pretty impossible for me, I'd say that I don't take any extreme side just because that's the side I'm on, I prefer to measure everything out according to its own standing with my own logic. (only basing this on some threads)

 

[Danik93]

Well a lot of Escapists like Manga and Anime I think it a thing that needs to be purged from this world! and JRPGs they suck to!

 

[metagaia]

How do I not fit the escapist stereotype?

Well I have never been banned or suspended for a start...

 

[__Anarchy__]

Well, I don't hate the universe/my life, I'm not a whiney, entitled brat, I'm not a PC elitist, I don't like any kind of metal music, I actually enjoy some rap, I think Halo (any of them, except ODST) is one of the best games of all time, I liked MW2, even the multiplayer for a while (BEFORE everyone unlocked dual wielding shotguns), I'm not a furry, I hate almost everything Japanese, and, oh, I don't try to relate EVERY SINGLE FUCKING PIECE OF NEWS that surfaces to the defense of games. Seriously, guys. Back off. You're just making asses of yourselves when a news story like, for example "A 13 year old boy was strangled by his father" or something and one of the first comments is "I wonder how some moron will make this about games being evil! DUH-HUR!"

This but i dont hate everything Japenese, they have the best food in the world in my opinion
ohh and i like to play sport and think thats its fucking hilarious when peoploe think that they win arguments by sounding smarter than the other person and having bigger words in sentences.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

I don't find any of the Half Life games to be exceptionally worthwhile.

I still enjoy first party Nintendo titles.

I know that while words might be synonymous, they are not equivalent.

I enjoy a good debate, instead of looking for things people are wrong about.

 

[The Aimless One]

I don't feel that this place is the "last bastion of intelligent discussion" on the internet.

 

[supermariner]

i actually enjoyed Final Fantasy 13
i find the bugs in New Vegas hilarious rather than face seethingly annoying
and i have such beautiful hair

 

[Korten12]

I'm Christian.
I have faith in humanity.
I don't care for Firefly.
I don't care for Cthulhu.

HEATHEN! Now Cthulhu will be after YOU!

XD

 

[Glamorgan]

I think Zero Punctuation has become rather stale, and don't watch it.

 

[RIOgreatescapist]

Theres now an escapist stereotype? Wow I need to keep up.

 

[Casual Shinji]

I'm Christian.
I have faith in humanity.
I don't care for Firefly.
I don't care for Cthulhu.

HEATHEN! Now Cthulhu will be after YOU!

XD

Oh, I'll be waiting with bells on!

I already took care of Paul the octopuss and he could predict the future. But he didn't see me coming, did he!?

 

[BENZOOKA]

We don't have a stereotype.

I love Hip Hop music so much you have no idea.

 

[DP155ToneZone]

I fucking hate Anime?
