You know you're a true gamer when..

[Ciro]

I don't think this has been mentioned, but anyways;
When you are sexually attracted and/or have sexual fantasys to female/male characters from video games...

I always thought Adult Link from OOT was the beastiest thing out there back when I was little XD They picked a great voice actor for him =p

i can almost guarentee most, if not all of us, have done this... and as pwnage said, if meiun counts, then i think DT counts for a LOT of guys here 0.o
like the first girl they have ever seen who plays games

I know and have seen loads of females play games and I don't think you understand what he's saying, he's saying a character FROM a game.

My comments are in bold:

..you own more than 3 game consoles. I own like everything besides all of these newfangled ones, god DAMN.
..you own more than 30 video games. What about 300?
..you own or used to own an NES. It's still hooked up to the living room TV. :D
..you don't like to play emulation version of games because they aren't like the originals. I enjoy emulators because it's less of a hassle than looking for the real cartridge, but I would LOVE an NES controller that works with a USB jack.
..you still play hand-held video games released before the DS. Gameboy Advance SP 4 lyfe.
..you use video game lingo in real-life. "Check out that Generic Dude over there."
..you play video games online. Well this is an obvious.
..you go to Gamestop every time you go to the store/mall even though you been there the other day. Friends always check that place out, so I tag along. They still don't have Battletoads.
..you'd rather stay home and play a really fun video game than go out with friends. I don't own a 360 so I play the ones that my friends have. This is a no in a partial sense.
..you try to find as much time as possible to play video games. Study hall, heh.
..you prefer to talk to your friend over Xbox Live or PSN than over the phone. Again, don't own any of these newfangled ones.
..your friend that loves videos games is a little more special than your friend that doesn't. Depends on whether or not the friend who doesn't love video games loves something semi-illegal.
..you played video games as an infant. Mario 64 at 5 years old, if I remember correctly.
..you enjoy watching MLG over most sports. All sports suck, simple.
..you love to watch G4. All TV sucks.
..you feel good that you know a lot about a video game or series. MMMMMMMEGAMAAAAAAAN.
..you still play and have interest in video games at an old age. I could see myself waving a Zapper at little snot-nosed punks on my lawn at age 70.
..your forum avatar is related to a video game. Does a trashed project by an MMO's ex-GM count?
..you've played Halo before. Only the first.
..most of your bookmarks are related to video games. Hm.... youtube, facebook, google. I guess not.
..you like watching "Let's Plays" and video game walkthroughs. Shit, I MAKE LP's, I should be getting bonus points for this one.
..you watch Halo and Call of Duty montages. I prefer the montage from Mass Effect that shows Sheperd being a douche.
..you're good at almost every video game you play. Better than most if it's a retro game.
..you get excited at a party when someone talks about video games. Not as excited as the stuff that most parties have nowadays.
..you don't care which console is best, as long as it's fun. Too true, NES and SNES have their moments as being considered the best.
..you are proud you are a gamer. I wear a goddamn Megaman shirt and an NES controller hat, I think this is self-explanatory.
..you save the video game instruction booklets. They are a good way to waste 3-5 minutes, even though you usually know everything that they have in there.
..you read the instruction when you sit on the toilet instead of newspaper. Step 1: Look for Gameboy. Step 2: Look for bathroom.
..you say "sorry" when you accidentally hit or drop your video game. I usually just go "OSHI-".
..you stayed up all night playing video games before. A few times.
..you think about video games when you aren't playing video games. Depends on boredom or state of mind.
..you own a video game poster. POKEYMAWHN.
..a full day of video games without disturbance is one of the best days ever. Aye.
..you refer a refreshing drink as "gaming fuel to recharge your gaming cells." Not really, I prefer to view them as a "Now I don't feel like shit because I was thirsty." reliever.
..you like it when people watch you play video games. Only exception is that I suck at it and they laugh at me.
..you can't wait to play that new game you just got. I've been yelled at for bringing along the console (if it's a handheld) and playing it right then and there!
