i am a gamer, i explore my soul through the darkest depths of dungeons, through the vast expansions of space and the time continuum. I look forward to my after school match, 4v4 is a pass-time, the only super-bowl i worship is the porcelain one in my bathroom. i love creating cities and watching as better players smash them. i love the graphics card that runs my soul, the one and only thing that keeps me gaming is the one place i find necessary to do so. not at school, not near my parents, not in the car, nor in the computer lab. the one place i find necessary is my office, with my top of the line gaming apple and my laser 42 button mouse, online with my international friends and where my world is everything i want and nothing i don't. That is the reason why I Am A Gamer, and Starcraft 2 is, and always will be, my game.

I'm a gamer. If other people hate me for it, so be it.
It's true: satisfying, stimulating, challenging, and life changing, where else can you get all that for so little?

I am a gamer. In my world I can bend time and create adventures. Who wouldn't want to be able to do that? As a teenager I was amazed my younger brothers imagination and even to this day I strive to retain even an ounce of the creativity my own kids have in abundance. To be able to take people on a journey with only words and a few scribbled drawings is something I'll enjoy my entire life and with luck my kids will share that experience and carry on gaming long after I failed my last saving throw.

I wanted to record it but I'm struggling to get anything that doesn't have kids screaming in the background or the hens telling the world they've laid another egg!

This is awesome!!! I'll be putting together the audio montage tonight; hopefully I'll get it done in time.

I'm a gamer too! A long tail gamer. I get years of enjoyment and fun with my friends out of just a couple of bucks. Plus, gaming gives me the edge I'll need when the apocalypse comes - zombies, nuclear, alien invasion ... whatever.

And to prove it, I recorded this here: http://longtailgamer.com/sites/default/files/I%20am%20a%20Gamer.mp3

Due to technical difficulties mine's a .WAV file, but I'm sure someone can convert it.

I am a gamer and as such I create my own entertainment. I can and do speak and act against consumerism by my very hobby.

I am a gamer who loves building and exploring new worlds, conquering stiff challenges, withstanding shock and horror, creating bonds to imaginary characters, and laughing with my friends.

I am a gamer. I share in a fantastic story with my friends as we save the world. My life is better because of my roleplaying experience.

2009-06-24T09:37:52.925-04:00

I am a gamer only in the eyes of other people. I've always called myself a roleplayer, because I think it's the characters and stories that are neat, not the game itself.

I am a gamer because there's no other hobby quite like it. It's challenging, enjoyable, and deeply satisfying, and has been the seed of many lifelong friendships.

I am a gamer. My earliest memories include playing Donkey Kong and Mario Brothers (before they were super!) when I was barely old enough to form memories. Video games, board games, card games and role playing games have dominated my entire life. I am a gamer.

2009-06-23T10:40:21.961-04:00

I am a gamer. I see the world in statistics, icosahedra, and archetypes, and I am a better person for it. I am a modern shaman, invoking heroes and gods by taking on their roles. I want others to feel the joy of my pastime.

@Steve -- first to take the plunge! THANK YOU!!!

@Bonemaster -- looking forward to it!

@Alensande -- Thanks for joining in.

@Anonymous -- Love the audio! and the clue as to who you are!

Please spread the word! Many people have already RT'd on Twitter; but I'm hoping for more audio or comments left here. This is going to be awesome!

I am a gamer. I explore the darkest depths of my soul, and my GM's. I have stood for all that is good, and all I can carry. I solve puzzles with a sharp mind, and lucky dice. I play for the story.

I am a gamer. I have more rule books on my shelf then I'll ever use. I plan my weekends around gaming possibilities. I have passed my love of gaming on to my kids
