Like when you play a single player game and stuff, do you tend to look at the jokes you can make out of everything and crude comments(example: "oh look, mario's on crack" "the developers were using meth when they made this boss" or "haha, those aren't star shards those are extasy") or are you the type of person that just plays to take everything seriously and enjoys it the way it's meant to be.

I'm the latter, some of my friends are like the first, and it gets really annoying

Yea, I tend to look at the humorous jokes in the game, but in a more original aspect. For example, I do not see Zero Wing as a crude insult to the English language, I see it as a story based off Shakespeare's lost work.

I'm pretty serious about games, but I do think its hilarious when there is a boss in the game that is completely out of nowhere in an otherwise serious game.

I'm the kind of gamer that spends all his time on the internet oogling all the great games he wants to get, but never actually buys, or indeed plays anything.

I'm the kind of gamer that spends more time reading about games (that aren't out yet or that I already own) than actually playing them. :?

Im the type of gamer who like to immerse himself in a game and follow the story as intended. So yes, hearing off topic jokes during a game is beyond lame IMO.

It depends on the game. I play seriously the game if the game is great and is supposed to be played seriously. But then Psychonauts tries to be fun so there's nothing wrong if you make it extra fun. Or if the game is just really buggy etc. like Gothic 3 and I couldn't stand to play it without laughing at funny bugs. After 50 hours I was full of the bugs though :D

I take games for what they are and try to immerse myself within them. But, if I come across something that is way out of place, I will make a joke about it and just pause the game sometimes and sit there wondering what the developers were thinking when they put that in there.

It's like they just came into work that morning, forgot what game they were making, installed that little piece and then realized they were working on a totally different game.

If the game was meant to be, then I act serious, but when I shoot a guy and he flies 20 feet, I can't do anything but laugh.

I love all types of games, I play games from every genre. While im playing I usually like not to be bothered unless im playing a split screen with a friend, in which case trash talk is a must ^. ^

I guess if you to put it as a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being serious I would fall into the 8. I don't mind hearing or cracking the odd joke here and there about something in a game that may have been unintentionally funny.

I try to play games from the standpoint of a reviewer. For example, while I may enjoy a certain element of the game I'll also ask myself: "does this element fit into the game?" "Is it executed well or is it sloppy?" Things like that. I like to write about games as much as I like to play them.

im kind of in the middle.

if something stands out like how in starfox 64 there tends to be some unintentional "innuendo".

i think "huh." to my self, but i dont laugh out loud.

I consider myself to be more on the serious side when gaming, but sometimes you run into games that have those 'WTF' moments. I have found myself laughing out loud about several things while playing Dragon Quest VIII.

Well outside of the mainstream gamer. I play games for the experience and connect with the characters and imagine that I am them to help deepen the artificial reality.

Agreed, though I swear it makes it hard to play any game when someone is around.... Like FF12 has a ton of voiced cut scenes and when I tried to play through the game and my mom was using my computer or something it was impossible, she would be trying to talk to me or something through the scenes. Like wow was that annoying.

lay them they way they were meant to be played. I will admit, however, that I do tend to make jokes out of it from time to time.

I am a semi-hardcore role-playing gamer. I am a factory worker by day and a gamer by night.

I'm into games that immerse me into their world.That make me forget everything around me,and just draw me into the experience.I'm a bit more serious when it comes to gaming,and I almost never make crude comments about certain elements in a game.

Yeah I know what you mean, I like to take games seriously, now of course when something is obviously just so ridiculous (like girls in fighting games with breasts sizes that will blow your frikin' mind!) I just HAVE to laugh, but most of the time I just look past the obvious and just start gaming away! Despite that some little things will get on my nerves but that's generally the way I am (like FPS reloading, I'd rather not get into detail about that though, but like I said, it's just one of those stupid little things that I "look past" despite how much I know I hate it.)
