Hey.  This might actually be good enough for a discussion!  ...  Mebbeh!  YAY for stereotypes!

I've kinda always figured that there were two basic types of gamers.  And I've always wanted to try to make a discussion about it, too.  lol

1.  The stoner gamers.  Let's see...  Not really sure how to describe this.  The complete opposite of the gamers who are computer savvy, I suppose.  I'll get back to this when I have my morning coffee.
Example: Me!  HAH!

B.  Gamers who are also computer savvy.  Knows a poop-load about computer stuffies, math, and all that jazz.  Also knows almost every little thing about th companies and people who produce these games, too. 
Example: Most of you guys. D: 

What do you think?  Is there more to these stereotypes, or is this the general gist of it?

FORNICATION BABY!

There's more types than that; what about the people in the middle?

Example: Me.

Stoners who are really smart with computers and math?

I'm both, but without being stoner.

I don't smoke. ;D
And like, Blaziken, I too suck at math. :'(

There are two types of gamers.  those who make poopty binary jokes, and those who don't.

What about the people that play a ton of video games (or one game a ton) without knowing much about it nor being computer savvy? Are those considered the first type to you? (Example: most "hardcore gamers", typical MMO players, etc)

To me, they are. 

I basically only added the "Stoner" phrase from personal experience. 
Man.. I got so far playing Super Mario RPG back in the days.  That game is so much fun!! <3

Are you serious? It's probably the easiest RPG I own.

The first time I beat it? A couple months, I guess. The first month was all confusion for me, but I got the hang of it pretty quick even if I ended up losing a lot. I didn't really know how to time hits very well or anything. I was 6.
