I think as you grow out of your teens you become less and less willing to just hate on everything and open your mind a little. At least, that's what balanced people do! I agree that 'gamers' have some pretty harsh stigmas, but contrary to what the internet implies, hating is not a prerequisite!

If nobody complains then we'll just keep getting the same shit every year.

 I'm gamer that hardly play games because I'm always broke. I have job and everything, but I have to buy food, clothes and etc. The last game I bought was Modern Warfare 2, Borderlands, and Mass Effect ( again: \ ) back in late 2009. The next time I will buy game is later this month, next month or my birthday that coming up soon.

Gamer is a term for a generation of xbots and psfantards.... or I should say the term was high jacked.  
 
I prefer  Connoisseur of Virtual Entertainment now.

i hope the kinect turns out well too, but seeing as the psmove and the kinect require you to be 8 feet away from your TV, i dont have the space at my place to do that. most families that actually have the space at their house to do that have gaming consoles in kids rooms or actual game rooms that may or not be able to house that. gamespot, giantbomb, and g4 have all said the same thing about this. so, idk if they will be viable on a wide scale. we will see.

Just play games and have fun. Who cares what you call yourself?

" Just play games and have fun. Who cares what you call yourself? "

it's called the internet for a reason. these types of people are the flamers that are into trolling the internet.

I'm always optimistic and enthusiastic about new technology related to video games.  That's why I'm excited for Kinect and Move, even though I know that there won't be a lot of games that I would want to play that use those devices primarily.  I don't know if I'll buy Kinect any time soon, but I like the concept of it very much so. 
 
It's true.  A lot of people who post on gaming forums are cynical and tend to be negative towards a whole bunch of stuff, especially the games that are deemed popular like Modern Warfare 2 or Halo and they feel the urge to constantly remind people why they think those games suck so much.  I'm not one of those people.  I always find an aspect of a game I enjoy a lot and I look more at the positives of a game without ignoring the negatives, of course.  I like games and I don't have some type of elitist attitude that would make me rage and bash the games that are "unworthy" or people who play games differently than I do. 
 
Maybe I just don't need that intense of an experience to derive enjoyment from games compared to other gamers.  I had few problems with Modern Warfare 2's campaign and I enjoyed it very much.  Then I see how the majority of forum-goers and even professional reviewers who think the campaign was utter crap and was a total waste of time.  That's fine if they thought that way, but I very much enjoyed it even if it wasn't the best thing I've ever experienced.  I don't let their opinions affect mine and I just stay optimistic towards those things even if most of the people think otherwise.

I don't care what silly labels idiots and fanboys try to attach to the title of "gamer", a gamer is simply someone someone who plays video games, nothing more, nothing less.

" Seems like an excuse to bash people who disagree with you, bro. :/ "

" You're confusing gamers with the internet. "

You have a flimsy stereotype for your definition of "gamer", which is your problem.  Gamers play games.  If you're playing every day, you play a lot.  You seem to enjoy it.  The only points you're missing aren't unique to gaming (bitching about little things and hating things you haven't tried).

If you don't want to think of yourself as a gamer anymore, just don't.  You don't need to justify yourself to an anonymous audience.

Okay, I'll just love everything from now on. Problem solved.

No, you're thinking of shitty gamers. You seemingly have all the points of normal gamers covered. Carry on. Nothing to see here.
