It's almost as if "gamers" is an extremely general term for what is actually a large group of people with different backgrounds, values, and opinions.

It's almost as if "gamers" is a pathetically broad term that covers millions of people with different opinions and ideals that sometimes conflict and aren't a monolith!

Wow almost verbatim!

 

[ratcliffja]

So I beat Her Story and went back and watched the end of the QL. Yeah definitely do NOT watch the end of that because there are some potentially massive spoilers there.

Edit: If this doesn't win story of the year, then it's either a huge injustice or some game miraculously had a wonderful story too. It's up there with To The Moon in terms of fantastic stories, really.

Hardcore gamers are worse than hardcore wrestling fans. I've been saying it for almost a year now.

Actually you should totally just skip Her Story because it's a really hacky attempt at "true-crime" fiction that is a less imaginative version of the film

Gone Girl

This trend in Gaming, i dont know if it started in reddit or if it's coming from the dark depths of gamefaqs (Copyright CBSi), I dont know what these things are called but shit like

-You have to face the last enemy you fought in a game
-You wake up next to the last videogame character you were attracted to
-The main character of the last game you played is now your roommate for one year

these fanfic threads make me want to set my computer aflame

Yeah I'd planned on watching that movie, but there's been plenty of stories about the true subject matter of the game MASSIVE HER STORY SPOILERS

MASSIVE HER STORY SPOILERS. I don't think it makes the game hacky at all.

I need to go back to that (I played an hour or so on saturday after buying it).... I'm not sure how to "finish" it tho...

You can effectively 100% it by unlocking all the videos (unless there's more to it that I haven't discovered), but there is a clear end-game cue at a certain point. You'll know it when you see it.

 

[Chance Hale]

As someone who both shit their pants and vomited over themselves a few months ago when I had a horrible cause of the flu: vomit every time.

And it has nothing in common with the spoilered movie so I wouldn't worry about it. It deals with a very different disorder.

All right.... I was running out of ideas of what to search.

Btw does the game has cloud saves? I could probably play it at work.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

I think I'm going to give in and pick up Her Story tonight, I hope that it's not too long.

I unlocked the ending in less than an hour but I guess that will differ from person to person. Just pay attention and it's pretty easy to guide yourself to the revelations.

 

[santeesioux]

Not to go off topic from the shitting yourself topic, but absolutely go and watch some Hunter X Hunter, that's some good shit. It's like Naruto, except it doesn't suck.

 

[BUNTING1243]

My hot take on topics in this thread:

A. Vomiting or pants-shitting depends on the situation. I have an extreme phobia about vomiting, so vomiting once can mess me up for a week. So if I was just at home alone, I would much rather shit myself. However if I was out in public or with people I'd probably rather vomit since it's more acceptable in society.

B. I think the term "gamer" is a weird holdover from when video games were some taboo hobby that people were considered weird for being into. We don't have moviers or musicers, you just like music or movies because everyone does. I'd feel weird defining myself by one hobby, but more power to the people who want too.

Does anyone have a YouTube clip of Jeff's gamer rant at PAX a few years ago? That was great.

Ok I will definitely get round to playing that this week then, I was expecting it to be about 3 hours.

that's probably closer to the truth

I got the game over prompt after about an hour but I had only unlocked like 1/4 of the videos, I guess I just went down the right search routes

 

[Megasoum]

Yeah I have waayyyy more than 1/4 of the videos unlocked and still not done. I have a couple of theories of what could have happened but I'm not sure how to get to them via the search terms.

 

[Chance Hale]

I have just over a third of the videos still locked but the vast majority of them are 2-5 second clips that have no relevancy.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

I'm late with this, but Jeff's contention that the would rather shit his pants than vomit is one of the weirdest things I've ever heard him say . . . and, for Jeff, that covers a lot.

Vomiting is never enjoyable under any circumstances.

Pooping though, can be enjoyable.

Vomiting after eating half a gallon of ice cream feels great

The problem with pooping your pants is the kind of poop that goes along with it as an adult. Not pretty.

While I'm certainly not someone who holds the title "gamer" in any kind of sanctity, this argument has always been false to me. People who really love film, like myself, often refer to themselves as "film buffs" or "Cinephiles." People who read a lot refer to themselves as "bookworms," people who are really into metal are "metal heads."

Every group of "the core" in any medium has some kind of name for themselves.

Exactly. I hate that it's somehow frowned upon to call yourself a gamer nowadays. Nothing wrong with being passionate about a specific subject.

I guess I'll spoiler tag this question just in case:

Spoiler

Is there a reason to continue searching for videos after you get the game over prompt? Beyond just wanting to know more details of the story.

 

[Jeevesmeister]

Like I'd call myself a "simulationist" because I really love games that let you tske on specific roles and the responsibilities there-in, like a monster hunter or a T-55 commander or a chopper pilot, and I try to get people to at least check out that sorta stuff.

Cinephile, film buff, reader, etc. The reason you don't have moviers is because English doesn't work that way.

 

[stump sock]

well I mean the term was effectively hijacked by some of the biggest shitheads in recent memory so it's not really that surprising that people are sour to the term

also I think defining yourself by what you like is something that you largely shed as you mature, so there's also that stigma

It's always seemed like a way smaller subset of people who identify as that. But it's totally possible that's just because I follow gaming culture stuff more than movie culture or whatever.

[Myggen]

While it's true that there's similar terms for "gamer" when it comes to people who like movies and books, you generally won't see people who identify with the act of watching movies in the same way many people identify with games, or almost are defined by their own hobby. To the point that any percieved attack on the hobby is an attack on you personally. You also see that mentality in other parts of nerd culture, especially comic books
