I’m not sure what particular area that I, as a gamer, fall into. I probably don’t fit into any culture as I don’t avidly play any one game. I do tend to stick to one or two genres of games but other than that I wouldn’t say that I belong to any culture.
Playing games for me only occupies about three or four hours a week now that I am at university, I really don’t have time. However I do look forward to the release of new games and like to pick them up when they come out.
I think that the msn culture of friends is something that has evolved over the last ten years or so and I’m sure that there are people out there that have friends that they talk to on msn but never actually meet them, but I am definitely not one of them.
