Gamer Girl Syndrome

When a girl acts as though she is God's gift to mankind, simply because she plays games.

When she realizes that nerds and geeks will flock to her and shower her with attention for being a rarity - she does everything she can to ensure she continues to get said attention.

Buying geeky accessories, joining groups like the D20 Girls, posting suggestive + geeky pictures to the Internet, fawning over Magic cards, incessantly talking about D&D, and basically wrapping herself and her identity up completely in being a nerdy/geeky/gamer - solely because it gets her the attention she couldn't get from ANYONE ELSE.

Also known, in other subcultures, as a faker, wannabe, or poser.
John: Dude, did you see the skanky picture Tracy posted of her d20 tramp stamp?
Smith: Yeah, I saw her. I bet she doesn't even know what THAC0 is. She's got a bad case of Gamer Girl Syndrome.

wannabe gamer

Someone who only buys games like call of duty, halo, and gears of war just to get themselves "in" with the gamer crowd. Wannabe gamers commonly overuse words like "n00b" "p0wn" and "l33t".

Many people wonder why anyone would want to be considered a gamer, as gamers commonly live in their parents basement off pizza and 2 liter bottles of soda. This is a mystery still unsolved by modern science.

Gamer Archetype

There are two ways to classify gamers, by time and genre.

Time: The basic and easy to define archetype.

Casual: These gamers often log less than 20 hours of play time a week

Core: The bulk of gamers, the play usually between 20-30 hours a week

Hardcore: These gamers manage to log 30-40+ hours a week. I fit into this genre.

-SubCore: Gamers that would be hardcore, but are restricted on time, because of parental/girlfriend/boyfriend interference.

Lead: These are the gamers you see at the top of the leaderboards, and statistically, for most games, these people work less than 20 hours a week. for most games this is the line you don't want to cross.
