What qualifies a person as a gamer?

[JelloKZ]

In your opinion, what qualifies a person as a gamer? Must a person simply enjoy videogames? Must one have owned a certain amount of games or consoles? Or perhaps one must have beaten a certain number of games? Share your thoughts, if you please

1. more time on gaming, than any other hobby
2. games, not toys

 

[maddawg IAJI]

Someone who plays video games as a conventional mean to kill time and/or have some fun.

At least, that is what a gamer is to me. If you play video games every day or occasionally dosen't matter. What matters if that you play them and be it Casually or Hardcore, you are a gamer.

I think one has to consider games the best form of entertainment, more then a hobby. God knows I do (I'm an atheist by the way so please don't, just don't. It's an expression).

 

[regallmighty]

a person who has a serious intrest in video games

 

[SupabadMan]

The ability to hold an irrational hatred for several years.

Damn you resident evil movies you should have stuck to the fecking plot

 

[TheZapper]

Someone who enjoys and regularly plays games?

 

[flamingjimmy]

Someone who makes silly threads on the escapist?

 

[Latinidiot]

if said person says he/she is a gamer, and has at least three respectable games on his/her shelf. those 'respectable games' are too much to sum up, so send me the list of your games, and we'll see if they really are games, and not....well...something else.
