So are your friends gamers also? I must admit that mine are not. Lots of my friends would hang out and play games (Madden and Timesplitters were our favorite) but not anymore. I admittedly don't play as often as I used too, but none of my friends anymore are gamers really. They don't own a next-gen system (hell they don't even own a PS2/Xbox/GC,etc). It kinda sux. How about you guys. Are your friends gamers or not

Indeed they are. A few of them are even more "hardcore" than I. One of them is one of the leading programmers for S2 Games and is working on Savage 2.

Mine aren't. They play halo and the "even non-gamers are addicted" type games, but they couldn't care less about gaming on the whole.

That's awesome. I mean if my friends were gamers too I would totally get into the community aspect of like XBL and stuff like that more. Most of the people on my buddy list are just people I just met pwning in GRAW 1 and GeoW lol.

Mmmmm not really no. We might crash at someones house later at night to play a few rounds of halo or resistance, but non are really gammers. 360 has made a few of them fanboys though, all they did was bash my ps3 before they buy it, and when they played calling all cars they treated my ps3 as if it was god in a box.

Only one other is a gamer. Unfortunetly he is a 360 guy, I'm a PS3 guy. The rest will play shooters or sport games but nothing else.

No, not really. I have one friend who I play Battlefield 2142 with, and a few other who will play co-op with me from time to time in games like Halo or R6: Vegas. Another friend who loves Castlevania, to the point that he tells me to buy the 3D games for PS2.

None of them even approach my level of uber-nerdiness.

Most of my friends are kind of casual. My one friend plays Halo 2 with friends once upon a time, and then my other friend who plays games plays the hardcore games at a casual rate. If that makes sense. :P

The rest of my friends are too much into drinking and doing drugs...I know I know, it's a sad life.

My new boss at my workplace is a hardcore Hermit though! :D I love having debates with him about how consoles have their places too.

I live in Sothern Ill, theres honestly not alot to do here. I think I have 6 people on my XBL friends list that I know in real life, but everyone I know games by some form or another.

Most are still hanging on to PS2 until a price drop on 360. Most are pretty casual (meaning they don't read, don't know what E3 is etc).

But the 6 and I, yeah a nerdy bunch indeed LOL, we have Guitar Hero 2 get togethers (gotta earn those coop achievements :) )etc.

By the same token, some of my favorite people to hang out with are people I met on XBL. Sad as it may be, some of the people I talk to the most (mostly because I'm a night owl) are people who live no where near me :).

I refuse to be friends with anyone that is not a gamer. With that being said, Yes, my friends are gamers too.
