Ahh, but you're a gamer, are you not (Let's not get too deep into this question, that's a different thread)? So, you're not disproving my original theory that gaming requires a certain level of competitiveness to really get into. And the view can get lonely from the top, can't it? EDIT: A regular poster exists with more posts than PurpleRain? I didn't see any cats and dogs living together this morning... |

Yes, how exactly did this happen? Rain you'd better lift your game. Your thery intrigues me. It would explain a lot of things actually. Perhaps gamers need this competitive drive or they'd give up early? |

Competitive drive isn't the only thing needed - the gamer has to be having fun while doing it to keep doing it, of course. But yes, I think they need a good bit competitive drive or they'll eventually give up on the game they're playing..which could lead to the person in question giving up on a certain gaming genre, or the whole hobby of gaming in general. Let's face it, we've all come across sections in games that you can't just merrily skip through. Some sections of games (or some entire games, for that matter) are more difficult than the rest. They challenge us. If the person playing the game has a competitive drive, he/she will think *I'm going to get past this part!*, and put in the time to do it. If not, they'll likely give up on it, citing it as "too hard", or that "it's a waste of time", or that "I have other things to do." I'd be interested in hearing the responses of people who tried games and gave up, because I have a feeling a lot of them would fall in this line. I'm really tempted to explore this further..but I'm already going off-topic. |

As far as studies on demographics go, PC gaming seems to be more equally balanced, where consoles seem to have more of a male audience. But this is shifting, and of course, polling isn't always accurate. Forum numbers aren't really a good indicator, as not all gamers are going to be inclined to post about games. |

Gone Gonzo Posts: 2273 Joined: 13 Sep 2007 | What's your other account? I think it's safe to say that'll have a fair number of posts too. |

Do you mean in post count or real world terms? Post count, I'd say from somewhere around 7,000 to about 1,000. Real life, it's someone who's won the Pulitzer prize. |

Anonymous Source  Posts: 8 Joined: 17 Mar 2008  | o.o I'm surprised I haven't seen any Herms yet. Because based on my findings in the few games I play, they kind of dwarf the male and female genders in terms of number. xD |

Yeah, I investigated after posting that and noticed you were on Warcry. I didn't know the two were compatible. |

If that was true the you would have died as a fetus. Anyway male here, 15 years, somewhat good looking and a nerd (but in multiple areas). |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4432 Joined: 14 Jan 2008   | seems vey one sided as i predicted. Male |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 4759 Joined: 6 Dec 2004 |
Yeah, they're one and the same forum now. I think warcry ate the escapist, so forum accounts work on both. |

No he would not have, we spent quite a bit of time on genetics in advanced biology, and there are quite a few people with double y chromosomes. And lots of other weird things like people who are born male and then become female when they're like 10 because they have an extra X-chromosome. People with an extra Y chromosome were once thought to be more violent and crime-prone than others, but that was just faulty research. They are also quite a bit larger than most people. |

Doesn't that make you sterile and prone to violence? Anyway, I'm boy shaped. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1159 Joined: 29 Jan 2008 | Forgot to mention, I am a man. Always have been. Always will be. Unless someone shoots me in the fun bits while I'm in the Navy. |
