What makes a gamer a gamer,Gamers have faced a lot ofcriticismand compliments but what is is it that really makes us who we are??

Loyalty: most if not all gamers are loyal to a franchise, a console or a game series. They will buy every installment released buy the franchise. Sure they try other games but they know they can always fall back on the game that they know has proven it self and will provided the thirst they feel towards games! People may try to persuade them but few very few leave there favourite game for a new one! My game of choice would have to be Pokemon, first Pokemon game I ever played was Ruby and I have owned/ played every gamerealisedsince then. Other games that I know will provide include: Donkey Kong, and Animal Crossing.

Competitiveness: Every game I have ever played that isn't Animal Crossing has some form of Battle of Challenge to complete and when I play multiplayer it gets crazy!! Some of my friends get so nutty that they jump around when they lose. Some opponent's I have faced in Mario Kart in my living room have actually forgotten to breathe they have gotten so fixed on the screen. When playing FIFA Soccer 11, I've scored and had friends actually run out the room yelling they get so frustrated. I was playing Black Ops with some friends and one friend got killed and jumped up smacking his head on the wall, then he just started rolling on the ground. Yeah it gets intense. Does this happen to any of you??

Finally Friendliness: I've been on gamespot/gamefaqs getting info on the gym leaders/ Elite 4 for Pokemon and I've never found a game guide author or forum posters who has been rude or grumpy about giving help to others. They are so helpful/ friendly that it makes for fun reading. At least on Gamespot they are great!! Most people make an attempt to fill their game guides with useful info and not useless spam (which gets annoying!) plus most put their emails down so that people with further questions can email them.

This is what makes gamers, gamers to me and makes me proud to be one of them!!! My question to the rest of you is... What makes you a gamer?
