    yeah I was going to but I was heading out and just wanted to quickly post it. I can't make it a poll now, I think a mod has to. So if a mod wants to make it a poll go right ahead.

    Also, I think 23 is about the fact that people argue about the platforms, when the game was released, how it was attained... etc. So 23 is the guy who just likes playing games and doesn't have a beef with anything. I personally have never met a gamer such as this, and I personally don't think they exist :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,823 ✭✭✭✭K.O.Kiki


    I'm quite guilty of being a "Games=ARTfag", but what else can you say when Team Ico is being discussed?
    And I'm a bit of a JRPGfag, too.

    But other than that, I'm almost a no.23.


    Now -- who'll be the first to admit being a Roneryfag? :D

    PC fag (despite owning a ps3), pirate fag and a bit of jrpg fag thrown in for good measure.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,955 ✭✭✭rizzla


    Consolefag, Nostalgiafag and a small bit of Piratefag (Just PSP)


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 30,019 CMod ✭✭✭✭johnny_ultimate


    JRPGfag / Artfag, and I'm probably a bit of a moralfag as a well.

    (side note: I never thought I'd use the word fag three times in a single sentence and still have it make sense)


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,408 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    JRPfag, artfag and nostalgiafag. I don't get what RPfag is? I'm a bit slow today.

    I might have said real gamer but a real gamer wouldn't want to play MGS4 :P

    I don't know what it standsfor but the example portrays someone with a stiff upper lip who over analyses games.

    I thought of you.

    I'm a fag.

    20% nostalgiafag
    5% mmo

    Thats me alright but maybe it fits under artfag as well.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,919 ✭✭✭✭Gummy Panda


    RPfag is someone who actually role plays using his games.

    think of RP servers in WoW. They would use inns and other locations to role play themselves as some character and talk to each other as if they're living in that world.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,823 ✭✭✭✭K.O.Kiki


    WRPGfag would be "Western RPG fag" -- as Western RPGs are highly focused on character involvement, customisation & evolution.
    So pretty much anything Bioware's made, or Fallout 1/2.

    Jesus, that certainly isn't me. If I ever end up like that everyone has my permission to beat me to death with a copy of resident evil 4 to put me out of my misery.

    nostalga - ive played a good few games over the last 5 years or so but really i cant think of many good games in the last few years. Comparied to the countless great games before that.

    I do go to maxconsole.com and gametrailers.com several times a week in the small hope i will see something interesting but its been very barren. Fallout 3 is what im playing at the moment. sins of solar as well.

    I think the new supreme commander is roumered to be out in 2010 so im looking forward to that long with KOTOR STO FFO im sure one of them will be the first mmo to interest me.

    I'd be Rage, rpfag Grampa, Nostalgiafag and real gamer.
    At last, a fellow rage-er! My anger is subsiding.
