How you know you are atrue gamer

a tongue in cheek presentation about the joys (/sarcasm) of gaming (also known as the side effects of gaming)

Experiencing your first keyboard smash or controller chuck

• Usually occurs after many “game overs”

Unleashing your inherent ability to cuss like a gutter whore

• This talent presents during incessant loading screens

The necessity of “grinding” and your burgeoning hatred of fight music

• Commonly occurs during Pokemon and Final Fantasy games

Chronic pain: cramps, RSI, seized muscles (they’re worth it!)

• After long bouts of Guitar Hero, expect to feel some mild discomfort…

Temporary Shifting“Just one more level”

• A common occurrence…

Dreams and the subconscious

• You may have finished playing, but your mind is saying “just one more level…”

If you have experienced any of these symptoms…

Congratulations! You are now a true gamer!

Rock on!
