Somebody who enjoys regularly playing video games.
Any other stereotypical definition is useless: I play online games a lot. I am over 40, have a girlfriend, am in good physical shape and I hold down a fairly high-pressure job. I am college educated.
Some of the younger gamers that I meet online fit the nerdy stereotype but no more than the average cross-section of high-school students. There is a higher than average number of creative professionals in the game servers I go to (probably because I go to the Mac servers).
I also have LAN parties at my house - my friends come round, we drink a few beers, get a take-away, link our computers together and fight to the death. The other three are married and two have kids. Three of us have college degrees and we are all fairly high earners.
Your stereotype is way off.

Primarily used as a term for a person who plays video games. Various levels of gamer exist, though this term is usually used for two groups:
1) People who have a life that is based around gaming to a point where they have no outside life. Usually obsessed with MMORPG games like World of Warcraft.
2) People who have a hobby of playing video games and take enough time to be good at them, but do not let them absorb their lives. Contrary to popular belief, these people are functioning human beings. They have jobs, friends, and enjoy some other parts of life.

1) "Dude, I haven't seen Dave in a few days. You know where he has been?"
"I think he said something about trying to get a few mages to 80 or something. I don't know, I never talk to him. He is such a gamer"
2) "Hey dude, wanna play some Left 4 Dead later?"
"Sure, why not. Have to go out with my girlfriend tonight, but after I should be free."

A racial slur referring to people who play video games. This term is on the same level as the n word and is not to be used lightly.

People who like to indulge in games to relax and have fun. It makes for a good time when you can blow the ever living shit out of your friends with a rocket launcher and then riddle their body with bullets. I don't understand why everyone makes fun of gamers because it's a hobby... much like masturbating
