Hmmm. I don't think I've ever met a gamer around here that likes to wear fedoras and keeps a ponytail.
I remember my first encounter with a gamer. I was working retail, and he got (legitimately) angry at me because I pronounced Mario's name as "Meh-rio" instead of "Mah-rio". I'm sorry, friends. I was young.
He then proceeded to call me a dumbass American, even though this happened in Canada. Good times.

Fedorable.
We had one of those here who eventually got banned some months ago. Some British guy who was obsessed with fighting for Sony. Not just on GAF, but on his Twitter. Like his whole life revolved around unshiting that Sony katana. Looked like a chav too.

I'm pretty sure that's just an actor in character, no? IIRC his name is Andrew Bowser.
I wouldn't be surprised, though I'm positive Jim dresses up the way he does intentionally to play off his act of being some oddball who is full of himself.
I feel like I've wandered into a room with an orgy happening, but not with humans.
You need to tell him clay has really low armour points.

I'm pretty sure it's mostly an american thing. I've never seen anyone wear a fedora either nor any kind of contempt against that kind of hat outside of english speaking forums. Most "exotic" hats I've seen people wear in real life were a beret and a bowler, and the latter was by an older man. Maybe that other hat that kinda looks like a "casual" fedora or something at most.

Or is that bowler hat?
I'm pretty sure this is an American thing, never heard about the "stereotypical gamer" before this thread
Jim Sterling has a fedora and a pony tail doesn't he? And dresses like that..
So.....
I know someone exactly like that. I am too kind to unfollow them.

I think the problem is that a Fedora is a dress hat. Most of these poor examples wear a fedora with a Half-Life 2 tee shirt that they custom made at one of those terrible mall stands, the ones where the stickers start to wrinkle, fade or fall off after a few washes. Instead of with proper dress attire. Y'know, like a suit.
It's like wearing socks with sandals.
Or swimming trunks with a tuxedo.

Since I'm still in school, I run into those people all the time... In one class alone the only things I hear about are sports games and Call of Duty. The next generation is screwed.

What CDi game are these screenshots from?
Their fedoras haven't fully developed yet, but the next generation of stereotypical gamers is coming, and they're going to be even more insufferable than Naruto fans. Can you imagine what kids raised on Pewdiepie will act like?

Isn't there another version of that comic where he wakes up from a dream at the end? Or one similar?

This is my favourite thread for today easy, that comic strip... that stereotypical gamer vision.. gold.
When I think of a stereotypical gamer, I think of myself: mid 30s, opinionated but open to change, loves Mass Effect with the power of 1000 suns melting.

Yeah, I know tons of really passionate gamers and none fit this description.
But I guess stereotypes aren't supposed to be based on what the majority of a group is like? Or are they?
If you're in the United States of America in 2016 and under the age of 50 most non-baseball hats, besides a knit hat sometimes I guess, will look odd on you. I can't speak for other countries, but people in the US usually just don't really wear things on their head anymore unless it's a warmth thing.
hahahaha
I know of one.
OMG I was just about to say this lol. This is the only acceptable hat for a male and even then it should only be used during sports, on a very sunny day or if you bald and ashamed lol j/k.

That's what I'm getting from this thread.
Even if you are ginger and don't want a melanoma?
These are amazing
and scripted
How often does one say "unshit" enough that your phone autocorrected "unsheath" to it?
