Scores:
0 Not a gamer 1-10 Casual gamer 11-50 Hardcore gamer 51-80 Pro or serious gamer 81-90 Major gamer 91-102 Gaming God!
Anyone who takes part in this test is cool the way they are, they dont have to confess anything and can just show there score. I do not tolerate any bullying or cruelty on someone because of their gaming interest.
If you know me, then you'll be surprised that honestly I got 51 points.

Some of the questions are interpretive but I'm somewhere in the 20-25 range.

46...which makes me a Hardcore gamer, apparently.
I think a category should be added, called "Semi Hardcore gamer" with scores 11-25. Because there's a huge difference between 11 points and 50 points, and most people will in that range, making 99.9% of the people of this Hardcore gamer. If you look at your other categories, Hardcore gamer has a very large range. Something to think about.

@c4995: Yeah I made this on the spot, thinking what have I done as a gamer and what haven't I done and what do other gamers do.
|
I got somewhere in the 80s... Which is actually kinda strange. It thought i would have gotten less. Since i am not artistic but i have made attempts at many of the artsy things. None of them long lived.
|
55 for me. Although I may have interpreted question slightly different than intended. But I also didnt understand some and didnt score myself for them so it probably worked its self out.
|
44 hardcore gamer
still, not sure about all that cosplay and arty stuff is in there for, wasting time which could be used for gaming.
|
51 for me I dont think of myself as a Pro though
|
Fiddy Two yo.
|
I got 46.
|
@NES_Rules:Rumor has it that people who get 46 on this test are the coolest among gamers.
|
eh, 28. just hardcore.
|
I counted them up this time. I got 88.
I missed 19. (Owned a game for)more than 20 years(i do have games that have been in my family for more than 20 years.) 30. which you do regularly 31. which hasnt ended yet 32. Youve done a video game parody movie (or parody trailer) 33. that you and other humans have acted in 35. You made your own video game review show 36. and earn money doing it 41. you had to go by train to one 42. you had to go by plane to one (i guess i could technically say yes since i flew back to MA while i was living in Texas to visit and attended an event/party. Then drove back to Texas) 58. and got his/her autograph 59. more than once 64. Youve performed a video game related music piece on stage (never on stage and only shorter pieces.) 71. that has been in retail 86. almost a thousand (no matter the currency) 87. over a thousand
So if i include my technical one i'd be at 89. And my hand me down classics would put me at 90. I think that puts me up with geek/nerd status rather than gamer status though....
