For the record what I said was a joke, just in case any of that was for me.

First off, I would like to say that I love videogames. I love everything about them. However, there are certain types of videogames, and/or systems, that I do not particularly care for.
Just last night, I happened to play Halo with a few of my friends. I would also like to say that Halo (and the Xbox, for that matter) is not something that I care for, nor would I spend my precious money on.
But, as things go, anything can be a blast when you're playing it with friends, even if you suck.
As I suck at Halo, and I don't like Xbox, my friend had the audacity to say that I was not a true gamer. (It was completely unfair. It was the third time I had ever played Halo.)
So, here's my question: What the hell makes a true gamer?
Um, what does the subject of this thread have to do with you being insulted?
Anyway, I think a true gamer is someone who has played every game worth playing, and many more that weren't so great.
I just had to answer to this.My definition of a true gamer is someone who is devoted to video games and NOTHING else. They rarely leave their rooms to socialize and/or eat.
You ****ing stupid? My friend can grasp any game controls within minutes. He's once beat me in a game he's never played which I had beaten 3 times. The only thing with him is, if he likes the game, he'll kick your ass every single way but if he doesn't like it, he'll rush at the console, open up the tray and put his game in.A true gamer can grasp the controls of a game within minutes. But there really isn't anything like a true gamer. So, don't let it bother you.=D
Then I guess I'm both right and wrong.you can look up online dictionaries all day long if you want to, but I'll tell you right now that your friends are misunderstanding the difference between a hardcore gamer and a true gamer.
true gamers love video games. not just playing games, but admiring games. true gamers love the atmosphere of a video game-involved environment.(ex. the feeling i got from waiting in line with my friends to get my Wii.) true gamers are open to all kinds of video games, and are willing to play a game before passing judgement. true gamers may be good at all video games, or they may only be good at a few video games. either way, true gamers love playing the games, despite their personal skill level.
your friends sound more like hardcore gamers. hardcore gamers typically only play 1 - 4 specific titles, and end up being insanely skilled at those specific games. hardcore gamers dont care about video games in general, as long as they can always win at whatever specific game(s) they play.
hope that helps.
What Tallian mentioned was just one aspect of a true gamer. Your friend is reaching the stage of a true gamer, but to be complete, he has to rid himself of the "sore loser" side, and control his temper.You ****ing stupid?

You have no idea what you're talking about do you?
The PC is not even for gaming, game systems however are, how does gaming on something not desgined for games make you a true gamer?
Psh. The arcade is the true breeding ground.

Ya, I guess that would explain why Alienwares and the ATI Radeon cards exist, right?The PC is not even for gaming
Tell your friend that being a pro at Halo makes you anything but a true gamer. Console players cannot be true gamers, that title resides only with PC users. If he would like to argue this, tell him I'll face off against him in CS 1.6 any time he so desires.
The PC is for computer nerds.
Here's how to identify Computer nerds (GEEKS):
Always has glasses, fat, pizza faces(lotsa acne), eat only junk, has only online friends, buy everything online, are picked on in school as losers, and believe that they ARE their online game characters and have their special powers too.
