An all-inclusive term to describe the maligned, often-misunderstood group of people that regularly engage in video, computer, or tabletop games.
Though the percentage of people who participate in such activities has increased in recent years, a certain stigma still surrounds those elite few who can call themselves "true gamers". These are the people you see getting together for a rousing session of Dungeons & Dragons once a week, or who you will regularly see planted in front of a TV or computer monitor, immersed in the bliss of gamedom.
This is not to say gamers are the bespectacled hermits that the stereotype has long been. We are everywhere, in many shapes and forms. We live and breathe the likes of Halo, Warcraft, Unreal Tournament, Mage: The Ascension, and more. And the gamer is here to stay.

I like Halo 2, but that Paul is a real gamer. He skipped class and beat it in two days!
Participants in the tabletop roleplaying game Dungeons & Dragons inherently deserve the title of "gamer".

A particular group of individuals who have the nicest looking, feeling, and smelling balls. When they aren't grooming their balls or applying ball deodorant to assure top tier smells, they often play video games both recreationally and competitively.
Wow, that Runescape player sure does have some great smelling balls, just like the majority of gamers! #GamerBalls moment!

They where ones the most opressed minority, they are blamed for every problem that happens since 2010 at last, but our epic gaming skills managed to get us up in the minority chain and our role has reversed, now gamers dedicate to play videogames and opress minorities and woman like no one else in order to see vengance over the minorities and woman that opressed us instead of helping us. They also managed to steal the nword from black people now renamed as the gamerword
