I posted this awhile back on facebook, and found it again when I was digging in my old posts. I don't really want to lose this, since it's a Kaijin Original =P

---------------------------------------

The diffrence between Old School gamers, and New School gamers.
When thinking of Badass Enemy, Old School gamers think Kefka
New School thinks Sephiroth.

Old School gamers remember the Konami Code
New School Gamers cry when there's not a new save on GameFAQs

Posers think Super Mario Galaxies is an amazing game
True gamers still curse the invisible block over pits.

Fake Gamers blame their lack of money for not playing many games
True gamers find ways around this.

Fake gamers call themselves gamers, because they play 5 games.
True gamers think GameFAQ was created to honor the list of games they conquered.

If you say you are a True gamer, and you have no idea WTF "Kweh" means, then give up your controller.

To me, the definition of True Gamer is not how many games you currently play, or having no life right now, it's the ability to think back on just how many games you destroyed, and how many hours you spent on Strider.

True gamers know WTF Strider is.

If you're a true gaming nerd, and believe we have too many posers that need to be schooled, pass this along.
If your a Poser, and you pass this along, then the user feedback you get will let you know to boot up the Sega, and do your homework.

You say "true gamer", I say "elitist".

I've been playing since the NES, but I don't see the reason to automatically look down on people who started later. Tell me, Kaijin, how much time did you spend with an Atari?

Random, but that guy either has his Speech maxed out, or is a legit gamer. Both?

I decided to be a bit less of an ass for a change and elaborate.

It doesn't matter when you started. Atari 2600, NES, Sega Genesis, fuck, even the 360. You're still a gamer. To disparage others because they're younger is the height of elitist dickishness.

I did only say "a bit less of an ass".

From game to game we may wear the costumes of the Empire and Rebellion, the loyal knights and the honorless rogues, the sin'dorei and the dwarves of Ironforge, but we're just temporary opponents, not enemies. We all like a good game, whether an epic quest to save Tamriel or a brutal deathmatch, a hellish romp through invisible trap-laden platformers or a relaxing adventure through Yoshi's Island.

Gamers have enough enemies as it is: those who don't understand and accept new technology; those who seek to censor and destroy the newest evil of the month because one person, a few scones short of a bakery, inflicted horrific violence and also coincidentally happened to play video games. Quit turning other gamers into enemies for no reason.

o.O Are you done being an ass?
I posted that because I got sick of people who play two games, calling themselves gamers, and blaming their financing on their lack of variety. (Hell, go to a flash site and expand your knowledge past sport games and tetris)

My buddies and I found it funnier then hell, because we see the truth in what I said.

Contrary to what you think I said, I'm not here to compare "Who played more of what", I'm recognizing that there were such games before the PS3, that didn't need improved graphics, and were still great fun.

The day is coming up soon, that nobody will even know that the super Nintendo even existed, and that saddens me.

Past that, knock off the attitude. None of what I posted was directed at you, nor are your hostile comments appreciated.

Sup, true gamer :smug:

Kaijin. Shut up.

You honestly care that soon kids born 10 years from now won't know what a super nintendo is?

Dude. Get a life. A gamer is someone who enjoys playing videogames. Fuck off, this thread is so fucking stupid.

E- You want to know what I am afraid of? Kids born 10 years from now making the same shitty ROMhacks that the same kids do these days.

E- Astrophel, if you want to say something about me being an ass. Go for it. But this thread had it coming.

I hate the term "True Gamer' in terms with generations and whatnot. The term I seek and grasp nowadays is 'Pro gamer'. Meaning you are really fucking good at videogames.

There is honestly no such thing as a true gamer. And there is no such thing as a poser gamer.

Again. This thread is stupid as all hell and I wish it was put straight to the trash can.

This is beyond retarded.
Instead of finding the humor in what I said, you know because THIS IS ALL MY OPINION, you guys have taking this to an extreme, and gotten very pissy about this.

Whatever. Might as well close this. You guys want to be uptight about this to such a retarded degree, then it's not worth my time.

You both need to seriously lighten up.

Just close this.

Your opinion sucks.

But, by request...
