Gawker media are run by drunk interns who all jerk each other off with their iPhones and neck ties.

More on topic regarding the whole Gamer thing and the whole console vs PC

Console Vs PC. It's more a case of age in most people, kids/teenagers get given the cheaper side of gaming consoles which is where that all starts and it's generally when you hit 18ish onwards, that most move into PC gaming. This is not the case for everyone but is the case for many. So is it PC gamers seeing themselves better than console gamers... In a way Yes. You have the superior gaming console than them and you're older :P

It's interesting thought though, Personally I would consider myself a gamer, I don't play games anywhere near as hard core as I used to 3-5 years ago, where I was raiding Hardcore in WoW, scrimming and competing in ladders in BF and CoD. But nowadays I still buy most game releases and will play through the majority of the content, unless it just ends up boring me, and still play regularly.

I really dont know about this anymore. I would rather not be lumped in a group that includes bored housewives playing Coin Dozer

The word 'Gamer' seems to be have been hijacked by marketing utter-wanker-tosspot-bastardfaced-shittined-anusbreath-cretin-arseholes as a term used to show how popular something is.

People should grow eyebrow beards.
