You might be a storyteller gamer if you know the exact details of you character's last 3 romances, but have no idea what his carrying capacity is.

You might be a gun bunny gamer if you have an assault rifle so big it grants you a cover bonus.

You might be a powergamer if you know you character can kill any other PC in the group, but have no idea what his middle name is.

You might be a gearhead gamer if you have ever worked out the exact length, diameter, mass and loadbearing capacity of you character's bootlaces, along with whether or not they are affected by moisture at higher tech levels.

Cute, I guess.  Do you mind if I add a few?

You might be a proxy gamer if you come to the game only to spend time with your significant other or try to get laid.

You might be a party gamer if you come to the game to get stoned/high/wasted in an effort to enhance the experience but, generally, make an ass of yourself.

You might be an explorer gamer if you know the exact details of your character's last romance, where dungeon X is in relation to region Y and how long your hemp rope is.

You might be a lump gamer if you come to the game only because all of your friends are there but don't contribute much.

You might be a battle gamer if you are on the edge of your seat waiting for the next combat, have your mini in your sweaty palm and brought your own gaming stones to track resources when everyone else is just fine with a tick on paper.

Are WoW players swine, since their game is described as a "massively multiplayer online rpg" when it clearly isn't?

You might be a White-Wolf gamer if you think you have 5 dots in intelligence.

You might be a gamer if you think katanas and trenchcoats AREN'T cool.

You might be a gamer if dodecahedron is anywhere near your vocabulary.

You might be a gamer if you think Ninja Assassins and Monstrous Orcs couldn't kill anything.

You might be a D&D gamer if you you were really good at 5 other jobs before you became a musician.

You might be a Gurps gamer if you spend the rest of the movie statting up a single character in your head.

Ow. Ow. and Ow.    Sigh. I am old.

You forgot, "You might be a grognard gamer if you remember when all polydice eventually became round."

I miss boxes.    I do.

They were cheaper than the damm ass color hardbound games, and could be used to hold the notes and additions for the entire game.
