What Your Favorite Video Game Genre Says About You

Whether you are a casual gamer or you spend your weekends at MLG competitions button-mashing your way into some serious cash, every gamer has their favorite, go-to video game genre. Here is what your favorite video game genre says about you.


Arcade.

If you are an arcade-type of person, you are most likely sitting comfortably on the Crumbly Coast of Candy Crush, chillin', but iPhone games are the farthest you'll go in the gaming realm. You enjoy the mindless strategy behind classics like Pac-Man and Tetris, but can't really get behind multi-player platforms. This way, you can spend your time playing in peace and quiet which is, arguably, always better than arguing with twelve year olds online. Can I get a hallelujah for some quality me-time? Amen.


First Person Shooters (FPS).

You love a good explosion. You are probably the "alpha male" of your group; you are all about standing your ground -- intellectually as well as physically. Whether you are camping out in CoD or stuck in the Bungie world of Halo playing alongside Master Chief, we can always find you shooting your way to the top.


Simulation.

SimCity, Minecraft, RollerCoaster Tycoon, or even Viva Piñata: pick your poison, you Type-A personality. Maybe you are all about construction simulation -- or perhaps you enjoy controlling the lives of those in-game. Either way you love running the show. You have been described as a perfectionist, overachiever, or both. Your town (or character) has to look perfect and if they don't you are prone to stressing out about it. Just relax and drown some Sims or something, crazy-pants. That seems to ease your mind most of the time.

Role-Playing Games (RPGs)

Turn based or real time, you love it all. Fantasy RPGs like the Final Fantasy franchise (FFX is the best; do not argue with me) and survival horror, post-apocalyptic games like Fallout give you LIFE. Let's not even get you started on MMORPGs... You adore storyline based content. Video games, to you, are about escaping from reality for a moment to something –– dare I say it –– cooler. You're a dreamer; you know how to connect the dots and really see things for what they are. You are motivated by tasks (check your journal) and love pushing the envelope to find solutions to problems in-game and IRL (how are we going to defeat the Stormcloaks).

Sports


Look at you! You're a real "man's man," aren't ya? You're a hands-on type who can appreciate high performance, and you like being praised for your skills. You are confident -- aggressively so -- and committed to the game. Your persistence and positivity gets you through those tough quarters and makes you the best team player.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
