Uh oh
Glad they got Haley Joel Osment for the interview
Lady: I'm not a gamer. I play Candy Crush. that's about it
Ben: That's a game
Lady: Yeah it's a little different though
b-but the game journalists t-told me playing candy crush makes you a gamer
looks like the switch wont be hard to get after the first week
Fuck, I wish.
i keep forgetting there are still people that don't acknowledge the existance of video games
...
>this is valid but teens react isn't
hmm really makes me think as to why that could be
Despite what online articles might say, very few people actually want to be labeled as a "gamer".
Don't forget they're all portable.
Is there still a stigma of being a gamer? I feel like some of these people are hiding their power levels...
I have spend large amount of my life playing videogames. I have spend large amount of my life talking about videogames online.
The other day somehow games came up during a conversation with a my class project group in the university. A girl askes me if i was a gamer. I straight up said no, i don't really know that much about games. I would never wanna be known as a gamer. The people that are openly known as gamers are 9 times out of 10 cringy as fuck.
>key features only found on Nintendo Switch
Oh yeah? What does Shovel Knight get?
amen brother. always hide your power level. I learned it the hard way at work. Never let people know you love video games at work. Keep that shit out of your work life
this isn't anything special.
I could go around my town and ask people do they know what the internet is and they wouldn't know what I'm talking about.
That's why we still have copper ADSL in 2017.
...
Normies are clearly lost to cellphones, so why are consoles still vainly pandering to them?
Wow look at these guys, so beta they care what coworkers think of them AWAY FROM WORK! Get the fuck over it and quit trying to please others.
Fucking fags. Half of my coworkers are gamers. Hell, I'm going to the midnight launch of the Switch with one of them who also preordered one. We talk about games all day at work. 80% of us have wives/gfs and 100% of us have our own apartment/house.
I said I was into gaming when asked my hobbies and I got promoted.
>Talking about HBO
>acceptable
what a joke
It's not even about hiding your powerlevel. I'm fine with playing with my 3DS in public. But playing games is a hobby. It doesn't define my entire existence. Calling yourself a gamer is the same as calling yourself a trekkie, or a geek, or a brony. Only people so desperately lonely that they feel the need to belong to a group, no matter how asinine it is, do that kind of thing. Normal people can like games, or star trek, or comic books, or even fucking ponies without making it their identity.

this. labels are for people who are neurotic
And he's in the switch version of Yokka Laylee only.
amiibo is supported, and HD rumble probably
i fucking love casuals
it makes me remeber how autistic gamers are, knowing every single character from a smash or all stars.
i sometimes wish i was a normie
You know that with man on the street formats you get the most amusing response and take out the boring ones/ones that doesn't fit your narrative right.
Or you could be a normal, non-autistic person, and just say "gamer" because "person who likes to play video games sometimes" takes too long to say.
I always say I love playing video games. I also admit to liking having sex with trannies once in a while, not drinking, watching anime ect ect. Nobody ever says shit in fact they hardly ever acknowledge it, it's like I didn't say anything... Then again I am very sociable, 6'5", handsome, very fit and I dress professional. I get away with so much shit it's not even funny. I always joke that I don't have to try at life and I don't. Don't ever have good looking kids, it ruins them.
Or I could just not label myself and only bring up playing video games when it's relevant instead of every chance I get.
>the comment section
so much butthurt
>all fat people
I thought the burgers thing was just a joke.
6 minutes is way too long for this joke
max would be 3 or so
Yes but when it's relevant it'll be way easier to say "gamer" than "person who plays games sometimes".
is lying your fetish?
that cutie blonde girl with glasses, horse faced but cute.
>implying anyone who posts on Sup Forums isn't a manchild
Oh, Quentin.
It is gonna be like with every game and console for me. Where I live people don't buy these things, so evertime something comes out, the shops have it and you could buy 5 of it whatever, even two days after the release. Around here there aren't that much people and it is overstocked like hell. No jokes, east germany, little villages around a little town.
>I am a gamer
>I like video games
Takes about the same amount of time to say my man.
The only way that saying "I like video games" is too long and you have to shorten it to "I'm a gamer" is if you're bringing it up way more than you should. Normally, people around me can tell that I like videogames and play them often just by spending time with me. Or just from the fact that I even own a 3DS. And when they don't, I only bring it up if we're already talking about our hobbies. There's no need for me to wear a label based on my hobby.
Its too late for me but I never use the world gamer.

I can't really blame people for not knowing. In a world where Playstation or Xbox only really matter in terms of the majority, it's not hard to not hear about a new thing from the Wii people.
Imagined Patrick Bateman saying this shit.
videos like this really put it into perspective just how fucked I am
>Is your grandpa 48?
BURNED
>using your phone
That's as generic as being on your computer, you could be reading an ebook on it or playing a futa game.
id rather be a gamer than a liar you dishonest piece of shit. way to be a fucking tool
>shows picture of Wii U
>"Oh no I've never seen that before"

Humorous guy but he desperately needs to exfoliate all that dead skin off his lips and start wearing lip balm regularly.
do you refer to yourself as a person? you fucking lonely piece of shit trying so hard to identify with this group wowooo
>IF IT WAS LIKE POKEEMON GO!
What is the point of this post?
>My- My Grandpa had one? It was like a little-- little phone? And I played Tetris on it hahaha!

Gameinformer status: Fucking redeemed
you do realize no one you know will go "wow he identifies as a gamer, that must mean he wants that to be his whole identity how pathetic" right?
you are autistically putting so much subtext into that word and being so self conscious about it, that alone makes you a shitty person with no self confidence or awarness
$300
For that!? Does it come with a game?
No..
It's understandable that a normalfag wouldn't understand.
You do realize that I don't need to label myself for people I know, right? I'm not giving the word subtext. That's literally what the word means. Labels like those specifically refer to subcultures associated with those insterests. It's not that I'm afraid of the word like you're trying to make it look. It's just that it doesn't apply to me. If I offended you by saying how autistic it is to want to belong to "gamer culture", then fuck off. Go fill that void with your Gamer Fuel or whatever.
nah, that's bullshit
when the girl asked you if you were a gamer, she was asking "do you play video games?"
you lied because you're a self conscious little shit. it's okay user, you dont need to pretend on the internet, none of even know you.
>Labels like those specifically refer to subcultures associated with those insterests
theres that autistic subtext
not going out of your way to associate yourself is part of one thing, denying your association to something due to other's perception makes you a tool
do you go to school? you are a student. do you drive? you are a driver. do you play games? you are a gamer.
Nintendo's market now is the 20-40 year old basement dweller who had a SNES as a kid.
Kids don't want it, nornies like this barely know it exists....
But it's still important for you to brag on Sup Forums. Okay dude.

Hmm, wonder which one I'm going to buy as a well-functioning adult.
I don't get it.
>watching tv
>calls themself an adult
The Game Boy isn't even 30 years old and she's talking about it as if it's something only old people own.
why does Sup Forums hate gamers?
the game on the channel that doesn't use sex and nudity to get views
Holy shit that guy
**cringe**
Cool story brosef
I don't see how it's impossible for a grandpa to own a gameboy.
I didn't say it wasn't
>Women
>Only talk about mobile games
"Gamer" is a hideous brand identity. It's liked calling yourself a geek. Show self respect and call yourself a player. Don't act tone-deaf like they're the same thing.
But sex and nudity is for well adjusted adults
Nah, just understand who you're talking to. I'm known at work for playing a bunch of different games, and people there ask me for recommendations and if some games are worth buying. I never once outright mentioned games to anybody there though, it'd just eventually surface if they played them. We'd talk about them from there. Just don't push your hobbies or have an elitist attitude towards it, makes you look spergy as fuck.
>player
That's cringe, man. You don't need a label because you enjoy a mass media form.
that's a lot of shovelware
This is a really good post.
May I save it to a word document and repost it later on in different threads?
Thank you.
tips fedora
but we're all neurotic
t. Mr. Neverhappenedus
You nintoddlers need to grow up. Be mature and play bad games like an adult.
CRINGE
>Show self respect and call yourself a player.
That sure is something.
>5:34
>There is going to be a new Mario game
>SWEET
>WE LIKE MARIO, HEHEE
That interview pretty much summed up why Nintendo even still exists.
>think it's a good name?
>you could maybe do better, but it''s okay.
>okay, what would you call it?
>uhh, I dunno, switch.
>that's a good name too.
WHAT
>game company still exists because people like their games
>6:26
Say I have bad taste but she's cute
Congratulations OP, you proved the point there are still people out there who think video games are stupid as fuck and don't know anything about them. It's not just limited to one console either. You could ask them about the PS4 Pro or Scorpio and they would just say it looks like a regular PS4 or Xbone but slimmer or some shit.
Nigga how fucking dumb are you?
>T for teen
>adult
It seemed obvious from the start that this wouldn't appeal to normies since it's competing with phones which also have Mario now.
>All these redditfaggots getting upset over others not wanting to be called Gamer
LMFAO this site is infested and no amount of chemo will fix it.
>phones doesn't appeal to normies
BRUH
>Reading comprehension
>normies don't care about phones
> I'm not giving the word subtext.
>Labels like those specifically refer to subcultures associated with those insterests
You autistic mong. Dont try and justify lying to her because you can't say you like games, because that's what she was asking. Not "do you belong to the gamer subculture?" Fucking pathetic mate, if you play games you're a fucking gamer, no one is telling you to call yourself one but that's what you fucking are.
I made the mistake of admitting i like to game.
That shit has been haunting me in various ways for the past couple of months
