20 ways you know your an avid gamer

Whether you own an arcade machine at home (Unlikely, though wouldn’t it be amazing!!) 1.2 billion people play video games.

So as SO many of us love gaming, how do you know when you are an avid gamer? or as your GF would call it “addicted”.

1) This is extreme, but you have one of these as a simulator or wheel simply doesn’t fit the bill.

2) It’s normal to moan constantly about how your favourite game has been RUINED with an update, but you still play every day

3) Your name is STILL stored in a Space Invaders high score table somewhere

4) You are secretly hate elves as they do nothing but take XP off you!

5) You can read the Japanese characters for ‘One-Player Mode’ and ‘Two-Player Mode’

6) Looking up cheat codes/gameplay guides on the internet is cheating… if anyone’s there to see you doing it

7) You have a favourite e-sports player, and cheer them on Twitch

8) Your online game library including trophies is worth more than your car

15) Having more than one PC monitor is entirely normal here!

16) You haven’t completed a game until you’ve seen ALL the endings.

17) You have met people from online games in real life

18) It’s normal for grown-ups to play Pokémon, right?
