Hi!
If you're here, you're a gamer. You spend your free time enjoying the beautiful stories of RPG's, or racking your brain with puzzle games, or even bouncing along with a good platformer. Maybe you spend your days pwning n00bs in an FPS, or playing an online MMO. You might even roll funny-shaped dice with your friends on the weekends.
Alas, the sad truth is often that enjoyment of digital entertainment leads to snacking, and snacking leads to jiggly bottoms and double chins. Gaming is, or has been, a sit-down activity in the past (unless you played Dance Dance Revolution!).
Whether you like Grand Theft Auto or Tetris, are devoted to the PS3 or the 360, this is the group for you!
I'm Amber, and I've been a gamer since I was 4. I was brought up on them, and as I work at GameStop, they're the central fact of my life. My friends are all gamers. My parents are gamers.
I'll likely come up with challenges or something once we get more members, and I'll have a banner made sometime within the next week or so. Just looking for awesome gamer types at the moment!
What kinds of games do you like? What are you playing now? How has gaming affected your body? We're here to support one another!

I am a gamer!
I am a computer gamer: Dragon Age (I and II), World of Warcraft, Rift, Spore, The Sims, Sims Medieval...stuff like that.
Sims was really the first game I really got into when I was growing up.
I grew up with boys so I was always playing video games from Mario to MORTAL KOMBAT(which I still love)
So that is me
I am Alyssa and I am a gamer!0 -
MMO , RPG, Platformers (*sometimes*), FPS, RTS, sport games
Currently playing: League of Legends, WoW, Madden
Been playing video games since i was 5, got a Nintendo for christmas and havent looked back. PS1 would have to be my favorite old school system however, they came out with a BUNCH of great RPGs back then. Once a year i dig out my PSX and play through FF7 and FFT just for kicks! Also just downloaded Suikoden for my emulator and played through that, such an amazing game!0 -

Yay for those who know what a d20 is!
My first gaming system was an Atari 2600 when I was 4. Then I moved up to a Turbo Grafix 16! I missed the Mario, but I got to play some fantastic RPG's, which will always be my first love.

Lucky for me I stopped drinking Soda back in 2002. BUT I did consume MANY gallons of milk, bags of cheetos, and pounds of skittles!
Mmm that sounds good right now!0 -

Hey! I have not rolled the 20d in a while but hi!!
Like some people, i have a certain 20s die that i use as a DM... and i always implement a variant house rule.. if i roll three 20s in a row... you die... an i explain how they died whether it be hitting an artery or something... noone is ever happy with the outcome... but oh well, im the dm 0 -
Sounds pretty awesome to me. I used to be a MMO girl, I play D2 quite a bit back in the days, and then some guild wars. In recent years I'm more on the console side, wii, and 360.
Now that D3 is going to be released soon, pretty sure I will be back on the computer once more. 0 -

Psssssh! Video games? If it ain't Call of Duty, then it ain't a video game, amirite? Seriously, there's no other games in existence!
I've been a gamer nearly all my life as well. Started out with my NES when I was a child, and the love bloomed from there. From Bubble Bobble and Ducktales, to the vast mix of stuff I play now, games have always been part of me. I enjoy action/adventure platformers, RPG's, puzzle games, and I was a Warcraft player (retired after Cata's release).
Like Amber, I too, work at the video game monopoly! We're actually old coworkers, and now good friends.
I'm also heavily into cosplay, and that's a HUGE part of the reason I started losing weight to begin with. I was getting sick and tire of being picked on at conventions about my weight. I almost ended up giving up cosplay entirely because of it. But I got my butt in gear and started working hard, and the results are finally starting to pay off!0 -
