Feel free to add for moral support, tips and possible the odd cheat code.

(Disclaimer, cheat codes will probably all be for Sega Megdrive games....)

I remember the days when "gamer" meant you actually played online games, mmoprg etc...
Not solitaire and candy crush on your phone

Does anyone remember BBS games like Mutants, Kyrandia, Trade Wars?
DIKU MUDs? (text based)
Meridian 59? Ultima Online?

That was gaming :0

Thats going back!!! used to love Ultima Online...PVP!!!!

I'm a computer gaming nerd >.< I didn't think that anyone on here would be one too! Feel free to add me, be warned that I'm super chatty

I'm right there with you! I met my now husband playing Xbox (Call of Duty, MW2 if I remember correctly). Sitting in an office all day and playing video games in the evening has been a disaster for me and I finally found the motivation I needed to get moving. I just started as well so I wish you the best of luck on your journey. Feel free to add me, the more the merrier and plus it holds me accountable too!

Hiya, old (bordering on ancient) gamer here. Everything from Pong onward. And before that, as a kid I was huge into mechanical arcade games like S.A.M. and of course pinball. Seen 'em all, probably have forgotten many.

Anywho, welcome and feel free to add me.

viviyueyue

Gamer here girl, too! I play mainly WoW (thank God not as crazy as before, used to be up there day and night >.<), some Diablo and LoL.

Feel free to to add me

NyssaDuck

UK based gamer, part of the reason I put on a load of weight. Just PC gaming for me, been playing Dota 2, Path of Exile and Banished more recently, and trying beta games. I play a large variety of games though. Managed to lose 24lb so far while still being a 30+ hours a week gamer, so you're welcome to add me.

This was my thought. My idea of 'gamer' was generally the 20-something dude living in his parents basement playing WoW 24/7, with his dad yelling down the stairs at least once a day "When are you going to get off that thing and get a job, you bum?!"

Altho today, that scenario often includes the dude's WIFE asking that question, while their kid is running around with a poopy diaper cuz dad is oblivious to the smell and knows his wife will change it when she gets home from work. :noway:

So how many hours a day do you have to commit to playing games to be considered a 'gamer'?

And does Candy Crush and Farm Heroes count? Cuz I am up to level 376 and 126 respectively. Those rabbits are really pissing me off!:laugh:

Welcome, from a fellow (if a bit older, lol) gamer girl and geek! Mostly Steam and Xbox, these days, in between re-careering in engineering... I'm also a huge bookworm and maker. And hitting my local stop of Wizard World Comic Con this weekend (so excited, most of the cons around here have moved south to try to cash in on the fallout from SDCC). Feel free to send me a FR, my profile should be open, if you want to see more about me and the kind of sh...crap I talk :laugh: I'm here several times a day, even if sometimes quietly. I've been on this journey for just over a year (on this site since July), but still have some way to go.

Regardless, best of luck on your fitness journey!

sullrico18

I've lost many hours playing World of Warcraft -- had to give it up a couple of years back. :-) I don't play as many video games as I used to, but I'd love to meet current gamers who are also looking to get healthy. :-) Feel free to add me!

cartwoman

Thanks for the adds, you guys.

Cartwoman, are you playing South Park: The Stick of Truth? I demo'ed it at NYCC and it's hilarious. Check it out if you're a South Park fan, which I assume you are by your name. :P

I have it on pre-order. I think my local gamestore is delivering it to me tomorrow! So going to play that

cartwoman

Hey everyone!

I added you all
If I seem quiet during your day, that's probably because with the silly uk times I will be sleeping

I'm in the US and my boyfriend works 3rd shift, so I'm up at all sorts of crazy hours I always feel like I'm one of the few people on my friends list that are conscious when I'm on haha.

Thanks for the adds, you guys.

I am so beyond excited to play that, been a fan of the show since I can remember.

Anyone get to play the new assassins creed? Haven't gotten to it yet but I've loved the entire series.

I got Black Flag with my new graphics card for free. I haven't played it yet (need to install a controler on the pc first) but looking forward to it

cartwoman

I am also kind of a gamer. I used to play much more before, but then it became an issue for school, so I quit.
But lately I picked up Ragnarok Online again. This is the kind of Game I can never truly give up. Kind of like a guilty pleasure. Almost like cookies and doughnuts. <

---

Though I have given those up, but not the game, and I don't plan to. It's just so addictive!.

Anyway, best wishes! and Fighting!

Let's not give up! I wish to be able to cosplay some day without feeling self-conscious about my weight and shape.

Everyone in the UK seems to love fancy dress and I'd love to fit into a Psylocke outfit for halloween this year

rowlandsw

I remember when being a gamer got you beat up in highschool, now it's so accepted and mainstream lol. I just realized gaming has once again become my only hobby as told by the racks of games and systems on 3 of my 4 walls.

kasmsc42

Gamer here and also relatively new to MFP. Primarily a PC gamer (Steam / GOG / DOSbox / emulators for older game consoles). Always looking for new friends. It's nice to see so many gamers on here!

cartwoman

I think I've added everyone who replied to this thread If I haven't feel free to send me a FR

I play all sorts of games. I used to livestream quite a lot but my current internet is so bad, my stream just lags all the time
Most days now I play all sorts of stuff, mostly on the pc (wow, lol, tsw, FFXIV, PoE, Mass Effect 2 and 3, Diablo 3) and I'm going t start a youtube series playing things like Slender, Amnesia and Outlast so that people can hear me screaming about nothing

jaenders06

Candy crush became my enemy! I got so frustrated with it that I uninstalled it and refuse to play anymore. I snowboard too and ride a K2! I buy them big for me though because I've been doing it for awhile, except last year... I had a disagreement with the snow and managed to give myself a black eye and a concussion while wearing a helmet... I haven't really been out since then.

missabeez

I'm a casual Nintendo gamer. Zelda obsessed. Also do a bit of cosplay.

Kirianna81

Hey, I am a gamer myself in almost exactly the same position with my weight, Would love some more gamers as friends to encourage each other, and discuss games while we are at it. I have about 50lb to lose and am happy as long as it's going down instead of up

HannahLynn91

Hey!

Welcome and good luck!

I'm a gamer myself... it's addicting lol. GTAV was my downfall for like 1 1/2 months haha.

Everybody, feel free to add me... I'm on here everyday, log (mostly) everyday and love new friends to motivate and be motivated by

DoctorMcCoy10

Hi All! Also a huge geek/gamer looking for friends!

I really love WoW even though we have taken a break from it (we always go back lol), skyrim, diablo, I even really liked Star Wars.

If anyone needs more friends feel free to add me. Hopefully having others will make me more accountable to actually log in everyday and not get lazy : )

rhiannondream

Added!! I too am a huge gamer and work for an anime licensing company lol. Currently can't quit WoW- been playing since vanilla and have quit multiple times but I keep going back- nowhere NEAR as bad as I used to be though! Also waiting for the Diablo xpac...playing FF3 and other oldskool games. I've played too many games. ANYWAYS. Trying to lose 30 lbs here with good diet and lifting.

evilpixiegrrr

Hey!! You can add me.

I'm a big-time gamer, and I work for Ubisoft!

am so jealous...

It's pretty awesome, I can't lie. I work a lot of the conferences, too. PAX East, PAX Prime, NYCC, SDCC, etc. I'll make sure I post on my profile the ones I'll be working. If anyone here attends them, perhaps you can stop by my booth and say hello.

I could use all the support I can get. I'd like to help you on your weight loss journey. My baby is going to be 2 in May and I'm trying (once again) to shed this dreaded baby weight.
