- The Fossil:
Has been gaming since the 70's.
- Old Timer:
Has been gaming since the 80's.
- Nerdy Gamer:
Also loves comics, Star Trek, gadgets and other nerdy stuff.
- The Noob:
Completely sucks at any type of game, but has too much fun to give a crap.
- The Pro:
You see them and die at the exact same time.
- Basement Dweller:
Only leaves the gaming rig to eat, sleep, or crap - basement not required.
- Casual Gamer 1:
Likes games, but only plays when there is nothing else to do.
- Casual Gamer 2:
Prefers easy mode.
- The Rager:
VERY VOCAL. Beats the living crap out of his/her gaming rig if gets killed or loses a game.
- The Retro Gamer:
Prefers 8 bit graphics and chiptunes. Will not leave the NES...ever.
- The OCD Gamer:
MUST explore every possible corner of a map, collect everything, talk to every single person, and often must get all achievements.
- The ADD Gamer:
When given an important quest, always gets distracted along the way by something else: "Ooooh a cave!!".
- The Streamer:
Only plays games for the attention of others. Most likely isn't very good at them, but still makes money off of others watching them take 5 hours to figure out the tutorial puzzles in Portal 2.
- The Farmer:
Sits in one spot in a game and kills zombies for 12 hours straight, or until zombies drop a shiny weapon or other shiny item.
- The Troll/The Griefer:
Likes to cause a scene and arguing with people in online games and forums. Gets its kicks from ruining other peoples games - such as destroying players' creations in sandbox games.
- The Backlogger:
Buys a game, plays less than half of the game then shelves it "for now" to play another game and does the exact same thing. When they come back to the original game, they can't remember what the hell to do.
- The Speedrunner:
Tries to beat games as fast as possible. Often seen playing the same game over and over again, restarting at the most minor mistake or RNG failure.
- The Scientist:
Loves to experiment. Will often load a save, try to do something, and reload/quit afterwards just to see what will happen. Enjoys figuring out how the game works, and what the game mechanics are. Will sometimes play a game in unusual ways just to see how the game behaves, sometimes using cheats or intentional deaths.
- The Hardware Enthusiast:
Someone who spends so much time buying, benchmarking & tinkering with high-end hardware components and arguing over AMD/Nvidia or AMD/Intel brands in online tech forums, they never find the time to play any actual games they bought the stuff for in the first place.
- The Collector:
Spends time buying and discussing games, but upon opening a game, can no longer be assed to play the thing.
- The Vampire:
Stays up until dawn playing games. Rarely sees daylight.
The Egoist:
"I'm the BEST kind of gamer, mere mortals cannot even fathom how good I am in EVERYTHING gaming has to offer and I'm also a GODLIKE min/maxer!!!".
- Hardcore Gamer:
Lives for games. Likes many types of games and spends way too much time playing games. Very competitive. Prefers difficult games. Also known to be very antisocial in some cases.
- The Gamer:
Likes many types of games, spends a lot of time playing games, and often has a natural talent for certain genres.
Opposite to Casual Gamer.
