  • what case is that at 1:31 ?

  • You console gamers are funny. Yeah sure, sitting around with a couple of friends casually playing on a console is a great time. But its nothing compared to what the PC experience can be. You're "gamers" in the same way some kid who learns how to play a couple songs on guitar is a "musician." Don't worry, when you grow up and get a job you'll be able to buy a decent computer and step it up.

  • Mobile gamers would be in the "casual gamers" category.

  • I'm going to be okay with them calling themselves gamers only if they add mobile before gamer.

  • press "4" to hear the word fuck in a funny voice

  • Gamer is a lifestyle

  • @negee3 so unless you're sponsored and a professional gamer, you're not really a gamer either then

  • Not a real gamer unless you play a real game...

  • iOS = no gamer!

    PC = Gamer

    PS3 = Gamer

    XBox = gamer

    N64 = Epic gamer

    NES = Awesome gamer

  • @Hawkon53 hell yeah

  • PC > console

  • @Fiddlestickz1 Gamers > Pc/consolefags

  • keep pressing 3 for beatbox

  • NNNAAAIIIII!!!!!

  • "real pc"

    >shows picture of my case.

    >my face when. :D

  • they aint gammers

  • @TheGameStadion Layne the update haven't happende yet

  • To call them gamers, would be to insult gamers! PC, PS3 and Xbox are the only machines, that are acceptable, in the world of gaming, right now!

  • @Nikolajchris only pc

  • @Nikolajchris Oh Oh OH OH OOOOOH. That is not true, what about gamecube, ps2, xbox, or even older, genesis and NES. dont be a next gen only twat

  • Comment removed

  • to get the title gamer you should be either big time console gamer or pc gamer. phone games or handhelds should not count at all gamer means your a true gamer fan you truly follow title love games with a passion etc

  • FUCK CONSOLS! MY PC CAN EMULATE EVERYTHING!

  • @Darktrupper MAH DICK CAN EMULATE EVERYTHING HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA lol

  • They are second class gamers,like the pathetic kind,hahaha

  • No, because they are only casual gamers.

  • Lane, your dad has obviously been laid, therefore is not a gamer.

  • HELL NO!

    angerybirders ***********

  • They are not gamers. 

  • If you regularly play games, then you are a gamer. Most people who disagree has some elitism going on or are in denial. Now if you are talking about its subcategories, then that's something else.

  • i started my gaming with Sinclair ZX Spectrum+... there was some damn good games for that thing :P

  • If you play a game you are a gamer, but there are many gamers out there.

    Casual gamers that play small games to pass some time.

    Online gamers that play for the competitive aspect of games.

    Story driven gamers that play games for the story and engagement.

    Hardcore gamers that understand the mechanics of games and find ways to exploit those mechanics for their advantage, playing the hardest modes, 100% completion, replaying games etc.

    Also, pro gamers that play games to make a living. ETC

  • "You've been there, you pick out a makeup thinking it's you shade.."

    I know I have!

    Check out my videos! youtube.com/user/hintofsarcasm­?feature=mhee#p/u/0/jaMaOi9MrW­E

  • I think tha game is the man who loves the games no the one who plays them only !

  • NOO

    

  • no they are not gamers. if they only game on ios platform then they only game when they are borred. they dont game for the enjoyment of game worlds.

  • First, ask yourself this question: "Father occasionally cooks dinner for the whole family. Is he a chef? - No!"

    The same would apply for "gamers"....

  • Trying to segment people into different groups does nothing good for either side. People are playing video games. Some on consoles, some PC, some on mobile devices. Who gives a shit? Games are flourishing and if you find games you like, regardless of the device, that's nothing but good.

    I don't care if you play Farmville or are on your 3rd run through on Dragon Age 2. Play what you enjoy and enjoy the hell out of it.

  • A gamer is someone who not only plays games but is invested in gaming culture and allows games to define them as a person. And sense the ppl that only play games on their phones generally don't invest in the gaming culture or let it define them as a person I'd say no. They are not gamers. That could change with time but with they things are now, no they are not.

  • Man you look like shit...get some sleep bro! But to answer your question they're gamers...sort of...in that they play 'games'...but they're gamers in the same way that those that read magazines are 'readers'.

  • well yes but the they would be noob players

  • Dear everyone. Buy L.A Noire. If you don't have the money do WHATEVER it takes tomake the money. Your welcome for my insightful advice.

  • Android??

  • i wouldn't consider them gamers. if i met a random person who called them self a gamer, i would ask them what games they played. and if they only told me angry birds and tiny wings then i would slap them. don't get me wrong, tiny wings is a decently fun game for a while, but that doesn't make you a gamer. you have to explore horizons and be aware of all things on the gaming plane to really be a "gamer."

  • no

  • PS3 : We just got PSN back and our PS3's are burning because of L.A Noire

    Xbox : NOOOO !! IT'S COMING BACK !!!! THE RED RING OF DEATH CURSE !!!!!

    PC : umad ?

  • @IPawnNoobz haha

  • @IPawnNoobz It's funny, PC gamers used to take all this flak from console gamers because sometimes you had to really work just to get a game to run right, and now with this gen consoles just up and fail so often it's ridiculous.

  • A gamer is someone who understands all the acronyms like AFK, WoW and IRL etc, etc... =)

  • Remember that dungeon defender game for ios? Thats an mmorpg.. Right? Or pocketlegends.. Sounds to me like they are gamers.. Just casual though..

  • those punk are not real gamers they just do that pass the time

  • Nope. Portable games don't make you a gamer. Being a gamer is a lifestyle.

  • no, not gamers atall , completely different! Its too casual

  • IOS is fun, but i will never get as much enjoyment out of it as I do from my PC/Console games, their just better games.

    Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Starcraft 2, Wow, Diablo 3 (when it comes out), and Call of Duty!!!!!! FTW games!!!!!

  • hell no they are not gamers!!

  • Ok

  • DANIEL JOHNSTON!

  • If you don't play PC, you're either a casual or a joke.

  • @Petersaberros If you don't play PC? I sure don't, yet I play millions of games on other consoles. So I'm either a casual or a joke? 'Kay.

  • @AquariusCenturies consoles are for people who like to just sit down on a couch after a day of work/school, or during a weekend's evening. There are no difficult games on consoles, barely any competetive gaming. And don't you "Halo" me, while it had it's moments, it's not that good.

  • @Petersaberros Sadly sir, you're mistaken. There are a bunch of hard games on consoles. I've never even played Halo, because to be honest I wasn't interested. I think you might need to play MORE games on the consoles because you have a half-wit of half of the games.

  • @AquariusCenturies Hard game on consoles... I can name only one. How many can you name?

  • @Petersaberros About thirty I've recently played, and no I'm not a novice or anything in gaming. ...

  • @AquariusCenturies titles?

  • @Petersaberros Final Fantasy V, original, Shinobi, Ninja Gaiden, GunValkyrie, Battletoads, Devil May Cry 3, Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, Out of This World (NES), Silent Hill:Shattered Memories (Wii), Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep (Critical, lv. 1), and that's all I can think of at the moment.

  • @AquariusCenturies Meh. None of these were hard. And you call yourself a gamer?

  • no they are not gamers. casual at most......

  • Playing basketball doesn't make you a basketball player, going on a plane doesn't make you a pilot, playing angrybirds doesn't make you a gamer.

  • gamerz? lol

  • theey are not gamers simply game players, there's i little more implication to being a gamer:

    -variety

    -experience

    -being informed (to the minimal)

  • Remember the good old days were consoles were almost indestructable? :(

  • lol they arent games... they play games but that dosn't make them gamers.

    i play soccer sometimes but im not a soccer player i just hang with some friends.

    and i would not call my gf a gamer cus she plays fruit ninja and angery birds.....

  • "gamer" is much more of a cultural term. It refers to console and PC players. That's why there had to be a new term invented called "casual gamers", for all of these mobile device players.

  • There are some pretty decent ios games like infinity blade, zenonia, and nova

  • Witcher 2 is fucking AMAZING. Have a great pc to run it on and it's absolutely glorious.

  • the intro is getting worse and worse .. :\

  • If you're a gamer, it's because you enjoy the art of games. You can hardly appreciate the sophistication of video games if you're only play snake and farmville. A movie buff needs to see many movies. A gamer need to play many games.

    I occassionally heal myself with medicine; I'm not a doctor. If I occasionally play one or two video games, I'm not a gamer. I can be GAMING, but not necessarily am a gamer.

  • @Ranemoraken You're a smart motherfucker. Thumbs to YOU, good sir.

  • Definitely not gamers.

  • There are 2 types of gamers those who play Xbox360 and PS3 and those who play other games

  • @fizart1 wtf?

  • @107thRaven what, so someone that plays boardgames is a gamer

  • The are gamers, BUT i would never like to be categorised with them, they have their own branch, my opinion IOS < Classic gamer.

  • @MrChaoscheese There are casual gamers, and gamers. That's it. Neither is better, it's just that casual gamers have other priorities.

  • @MrChaoscheese they

  • i have a ps3. i play it occasionally. my room mate owns every console. i classify him as a gamer.

  • If you're even asking the question you are lame.

  • No, playing doodle jump and angry birds doesn't make you a gamer.

  • @107thRaven No, Gamer = someone who plays a wide variety of games.

  • They are casuals, not gamers.

  • I wouldn't consider the applications on the i phone and what not to even be games.....

  • I play Starcraft and a few other games, but i don't really consider myself a gamer despite playing games my entire life. I'm a person who sometimes plays video games. So i sure as hell don't consider people playing little phone games to be gamers either.

    I wouldn't really consider someone who plays WoW all day a gamer either. They're a WoWer or something. Gaming is much bigger than just playing a couple of games, especially little ones like phone games.

  • Games are games dude.

  • Consoles, iphones, androids.. everything like that cant match the might of the PC.. give it up suckas.. you cant defeat the master-race of gaming.

  • nope, i don't think so. it's semantics...."gamer" and gamer. think about it...

  • Well, there's no gamer like me, i play youtube snake right now!

  • Consoles, handheld casual shit is shit. PSP's, maybe. Not DS's.

  • Gamers imo play games from all types of console and genres.

  • Still, whats your HoN nick?

  • There not gamers if they have just played on ios.

  • you're not a gamer if you play games.

    you're a gamer if you play A LOT of games.

  • They are not by my terms gamers have to at least try playing games on ALL platforms and all genres,only then I will consider them gamers also they have to play games regulary

  • PCgamer review of witcher was weird, (he didn't like ending...lol) i mean 89... but dragon age got 94... WTF???

  • I don't consider Anyone a gamer unless they're decent at some multiplayer game.

  • No. No. No. They are not gamers!!!

  • I went online on my xbox last night ( may 19th) and was not requiered an update does anyone else know how to get the update in a different way?

  • A gamer is someone who not only plays games but is invested in gaming culture and allows games to define them as a person. Give it another 5-10 years and you could classify someone who plays only mobile device games a "gamer". Consider perhaps a child who's only gaming device growing up was a smartphone. They can love games on it and be deeply invested in those games as much as anyone playing games on a PC/console. They just haven't known anything else yet.

  • @tehcapn You are absolutely right. I know kids who strictly play CoD and call themselves gamers... if i were to continue on, i'd only be repeating what you said

  • QOTD:hell no!!

  • QOTD: No, I would not consider them true gamers.

  • You cant call yourself a gamer if you only play games on your phone. Mobile games are only made to kill some time when you are in bus or train etc. They are way too simple for serious gaming, but in couple of years thing will be different. Phones are getting more powerful and mobile games bigger. Theres already couple of pretty good and long RPG games for phones. But if you really want portable gaming device you should just buy nintendo ds or PSP

  • like hell they are gamers! playing snake or vampire wars on facebook when you are bored in the post office line is not being a gamer, a true gamer is a life style choice - i play football on Saturdays, does that make me a football player?

  • layne how come you didnt do answer of the thursday!

  • no there not gamers hhahahah XD most ridiculous thing ever.....anyone who calls themselves a gamer for playing games on there iphone must be out of their mind

  • No i just play mobile games to pass the time on the bus or in the car!

  • whats xbox?

  • For me gamers are those who understand about games in general, doen´t matter if it´s in a console or phone or whatever.

  • Nope not at all

  • ofc they're not... just because you've got an iphone/HTC/sony ericsson etc. dosn't mean you're a gamer!

  • Keep in mind our cell phones have more sophisticated computers in them than the rockets that landed on the moon.

  • Minecraft.

    That is all I have to say on the matter of PC gaming.

  • I personally thing a gamer is someone who actually follows the industry, knows what's coming out and just generally knows how gaming works. One could argue that anybody who occasionally plays a game is a gamer, to which I would simply reply "we need a new term for those other kinds of people then, as everybody is a gamer these days".

  • @TMTLive i think "casual gamers" is the term you are looking for

  • Stop the fucking hate. Gamers of all kinds need to stick together. We're getting enough hate from every other angle of society.

    So could anyone who considers himself "better" in any way, shape or form because of his preferred platform please die in a fire? You're not helping anyone but your patheticly little ego.

  • gay-mur. hurhur.

  • when i saw the headline i was liek:

    OMG HOW DID LAYNE MANAGE TO DO POSITION 360 AND WITH WHO?!?!

    then i saw the video and realized it was not about positions.

  • i only play WoW and shooters on my PC, all the rest is on my xbox for more social gaming when i have friends over.

  • i dont think people who play on a itouch are gamers, cause there not really playing games, there playing time wasters really. If you dont own a PC however in this day and age, then i think your a bit behind

  • Moble ? No, not gamers.

    Console / PC = Yes, gamers on different level, depends on how much you game. Like casuals and hardcore for example.

  • people that play ios/android games are not gamers they are just joiners now that gaming has broken into the mainstream a true gamer is form before the 2000's when gaming became mainstream

  • fuck no!

  • I will always be a PC gamer. I'm so used to the PC that whenever I play my PS3 everything just feels so limited with a gamepad and not having the freedom of a desktop, programs, movies, internet by simply alt tabbing

  • Witcher2 89%

    DragonAge2 94%

    PCGamer died for me.

  • @Elunayme Heh there is no way that biowaste and ea paid off pcgamer is there? naaa impossible DA2 is utter shit

  • a gamer is someone who plays games wether is pc ps3 or the shitty xbox...

  • Gamers play games, not consoles/mobile devices.

    If they enjoy games, in any shape or form, what's so wrong with that?

  • @WhoIsAmber "in any shape or form" lol.. TB qoute

  • @WhoIsAmber he never said there is something wrong with it he just stated that he wouldnt call them gamers

  • no. nononono.

  • If you have never played games (and i dont mean so lame stuff on the internet) on a pc or a console you are NOT a gamer.

  • Well, In my opinion, anyone who is a gamer, no matter where he starts, will end up expanding to try different ways of playing games.

  • real gamer plays with consoles u fucking fagget shits !

  • Epic Noooo!!!

  • NOOOOOOOO they are not gamers.. they are WANABEE gamers!

  • why is this guy having problems talking? is he dyslexic ?

  • Mobile games are basically flash games. You can't be considered part of the gamer community because you beat "Toss the Turtle".

  • I dont think it could be considered "hardcore gaming" yet. Of course consoles and PCs not only can handle bigger and more intricate games, but are economically focused primarily on those kinds of "serious" gamers. But iOS has potential if its hardware can be used to create immersive, hardcore appeal for all the epicness that let video game systems be allowed to be considered "validated" as true video game experiences. Anybody who says only PCs are validated are too prideful of there hardware.

  • @Klyptomaniacc Opinion denied.

  • witcher 2 is awesome....PLAY IT NAOWWWWWWWWWW

  • People who play mostly on PS3, Xbox etc. arent really gamers..there should only be PC.

  • What no news about the new gw2 class layne ? :o

  • no they are no gamers! they may be playing games but they are no gamers. is there a step below casualplayer? cause thats what they are..

  • if i have a xbox elite 120 gb so know i cant play with it online?

  • A gamer isn't based on what system he plays. It's based on what types of games he or she plays. A old school gamer considered themselves a gamer for finishing Secret of Mana etc and now that is available on the iphone for example.

  • Em......if you play games, you are a gamer. I don't understand why people overcomplicate this. It is almost like people are ashamed to associate themselves with people who play different games than they do...

  • iam so proud that witcher is a polish game!!! <3<3<3

  • No. No they are not.

  • UGGGGHHHHHHHHH I love LA Noire but it really gets boring sometimes you have to take side missions just to break up the monotony which sucks because I would rather have fun diverse missions instead of just cases all the fucking time anyone else feel the same way?????

  • @jramos990 I don't. I'm at homicide right now, and these cases just don't let me rest! I have the killer in all the cases, but there are so many circumstances not answered it makes me feel there is something big coming.

    It really is a great game if it can keep my thoughts occupied all day...

  • @baligaandris I'm also at homicide but it seems like the formula is the same collect clues for evidence and question people for leads with the car/foot chases sprinkled in. I also feel like there needs to be more of a main story line because it just seems like the cases are small stories and the rest of the story, like them talking about the BD killer and WWII flash backs it doesn't seem like the main story is really developing but hopefully the last disc will be the meat of the main story.

  • They are not gamers in my opinion. Gamers are people, who play games regularly, read gamer sites, are excited about games that haven't come out yet, and are generally living in this gamer culture.

  • Answer for The Question Of The Day: Definitely not.

  • they are NOT gamers!

  • Answer: No.

  • I think to call yourself a gamer you need to be obsessive about gaming. I just don't see my mom counting down the days until the release of the new level pack for Cut the Rope.

  • Age probably play a big part in this. If we're talking about an only child, 7 year old kid that plays games on his mom's phone as much as he can, but cannot get his hands on a gaming console, he might be a gamer in heart. As soon as this kid is allowed a chance to play on a console, he will do so, and etc etc... you get it. yeaaa...
