LARP?

― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 3 October 2007 22:53 (seventeen years ago)

i thought my love of final fantasy/pokemon would make me number 5, but i guess it's more number 2

― webber, Wednesday, 3 October 2007 23:12 (seventeen years ago)

in retrospect this poll could have been constructed much better actually. perhaps I will use this as a beta and put a more diverse and accepting version on ILE just to find out what louis jagger thinks

I mean if you love nethack and dragon quest are you a grinder or a turn taker?

― El Tomboto, Thursday, 4 October 2007 19:19 (seventeen years ago)

why do I think about this shit?

― El Tomboto, Thursday, 4 October 2007 19:23 (seventeen years ago)

(o) Third-person troublemaker

― antexit, Thursday, 4 October 2007 19:24 (seventeen years ago)

IMO your examples = grinder, my friend. :/

Turn-based = shrapnel games nerd and/or love fallout too much

― Will M., Thursday, 4 October 2007 20:08 (seventeen years ago)

I'm not sure where Morrowind addiction puts me.

― Noodle Vague, Thursday, 4 October 2007 23:36 (seventeen years ago)

I am totally #5.

― HI DERE, Friday, 5 October 2007 17:28 (seventeen years ago)

if so, i need to meet more gimps because they are cool dudes/ettes

― Will M., Friday, 5 October 2007 17:58 (seventeen years ago)

lol thanks to Will for bringing up shrapnel games bcz I totally did not know there was an OS X version of Return To Infinite Space!!! Awesome awesome

― El Tomboto, Friday, 5 October 2007 23:10 (seventeen years ago)

Morrowind = nostalgic insomniac grinder/collector, surely?

― g-kit, Saturday, 6 October 2007 08:40 (seventeen years ago)

Does playing driving games while saying to yourself "of course this isn't how driving works in real life" count as Perspective-Agnostic Level Grinder ?

― snoball, Saturday, 6 October 2007 11:22 (seventeen years ago)

I thought third person turn taker referred to driving games and I was all "dude only pussies play driving games in third person"

Grinda

Guitar Hero, if you practice for over an hour on one song, is a grinder.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

― ILX System, Tuesday, 9 October 2007 23:01 (seventeen years ago)

not bad, decent participation for a board that gets like ILbooks level of posting most of the time

― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 00:46 (seventeen years ago)

expected more FPS actually

― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 00:46 (seventeen years ago)

Fuck, I'm the only puzzle dork here? No way!

― melton mowbray, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 03:16 (seventeen years ago)

And I'm the only "Economy-Minded Clockmaker"???

I should explain: I took it to mean things like Age of Empires, C&C, etc.

― kv_nol, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 09:42 (seventeen years ago)

yeah the terminology needs improving

there should perhaps be "real time strategist" to go along with the straightforward description of "first person shooter"

― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 14:24 (seventeen years ago)

"third-person explorer"

― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 14:24 (seventeen years ago)
