When it comes to social stereotyping, where do you fall in? Which one of the "classes" would you associate yourself with? Given the fact that we are in a forum on a videogame website, I am curious to know what kind of personalities are present on the boards. Through some observation, I have noticed a trend. Any banners, song playlists, or myspace profile links indicate that a large number of us are what some consider to be "emo" or "goth" (please consider that I am in no way attempting to generalize or otherwise offend anyone). Personally, I feel (or may just be assuming) that I am part of a small minority of the gaming community. 


That being said, I am, without a shred of reasonable doubt, a preppy little b****. I play sports (basketball, baseball, and volleyball...yes, volleyball), I wear nothing but Abercrombie and Hollister (I even friggin work there), and I have a preppy little girlfriend and preppy friends. www.myspace.com/gigglesthaclown. My profile is set to private, but the one picture is enough to prove my point.


So, what are you? Feel free to post pictures or link a myspace or facebook.

Alright, well if you believe that you do not fall into any stereotype, then describe yourself. What makes you unique? What innate qualities do you possess that sets you apart from others?

Well, dumbass scene kids like to think I m preppy until they get to know me (because i wear polos etc. was captain of my high school football team and am currently in the military), but I have always been more of a Punk/Metal kind of guy personality wise. I used to fight a lot. I am a bit of a player according to my friends because I like to sleep around. Also I play entirely too many games and have a horrible sleeping pattern. So what would I be?

But honestly you seem like a no sterotype, just like pretty much anyone else that isn't in grade school.

This sounds like a stereotypical loner, but; I'm quiet, I have one friend, I like to listen to music, I play games, I get average grades, and there aren't any mysteries about my life. Oh, and I'm bisexual.

I'm a quiet comedian. I'm ecstaticly melancholy, but woefully gleeful. I am intelligence unimagined. I am argument distraught. I am analytical, yet also musical. I am unabashedly perplexing, yet occasionaly bewildered.

Some days I just don't feel like talking much, but I'm not shy about it, I just feel like I don't have much to say at the time. Then on other days I'm cracking jokes every other minute and am attention hungry. I always see things a different way than anyone else. I don't know, maybe I'm bipolar or something. I don't really think so though. Overall though, I am very happy with who I am.

I'm so unique that an even extremely broad definition doesn't come close to saying anything about me. Cliques and scenes are so uncool. Everyone should just be themselves. (Sarcasm ends here).

Seriously though, I'm a loner. I b*tch slap people and run away laughing, just to make sure nobody ever tries to strike up a conversation with me. Because I'm just too freakin' unique to be bothered with sheeple.

Okay that wasa bit sarcastic as well. Let me start over.

I'm the founder of the Samist movement.

A bit of everything... I'm openly a huge geek, I love Metal, but I'm quite popular and get on with everyone at my college and workplace. I can be really quiet most of the time, but also the life of the party... I don't fit into any one thing :P

Just plain geek I guess. Most of my money goes towards electronics/video games, I don't have that many friends, I'm quiet, I read a lot. I get along best with the other "loners" or whatever. My friends (few though they may be) don't have many friends outside of me and the little group I've formed by getting them to hang out with each other.

You really just described me!! Dude, seriously, that's freaky... By any chance is your comedic taste a bit insulting? As in, you can easily find something to make fun of in someone (in a friendly, humourous way of course), or can think of many tasteless jokes?

Haha, I'm open about my geekiness. I can talk about weird internet meme's (I got half of my college addicted to the O Rly? owl unfortunately...) I can talk about programming, even with the popular kids :P A lot of people thought it was strange when I had impulse bought Guitar Hero II one day, so I had to carry it around school. Everyone was like "wtf are you doing with a toy guitar?"

And on top of that, I am, for lack of a better word, "pre-juged" by others who are as in to videogames as I am. For example, there were two kids in my english class last semester who I overheard having a debate about videogames, so I decided to join in on the conversation, as the topic (which i cannot recall what it was at the time) was something i was quite passionate about. They simply gave me condescending looks, made some rude comment, and more or less snubbed me upon my attempted entrance into the conversation. Its frustrating.

Haha my friend did that same thing! When I got to PE one day, he was carrying the guitar around his shoulder and he had his PS2 in his backpack. To this day, I have no idea why he had it with him at school, but it was funny to watch him try to explain numerous times to all the people who were asking him about it.

I'd classify myself as a 'gamer', but not necessarily a 'geek' or a 'nerd'.

I think of geeks as the sort of people who really get into the lore of the games/books/movies they like. You know, the sort of guys who can spot continuity errors in Star Trek and Star Wars, or people who know at least part of the history of Middle Earth - I'm definitely not one of those; I play games, but it's not like I'll write any fanfiction about them, or whatever.

As for 'nerds'...I've always considered that as more of an academic term - as in the sorts of guys who spend their time doing homework and studying, and usually get near-perfect marks on any piece of work they do. I'm not one of them, either - I'm a procrastinator, and definitely not a perfectionist.

So, by my definition, I'm just a gamer.
