Basically, is there anything in your gaming style that separates you from others?
I, personally, enjoy sucking, provided it's a fun game. If it's a fun game, I can always try again and again until I make progress. If the game is unfair, I might as well do away with the game and try something else.

I play everything upside-down, so I have mastered the Arcane Magicks of using controllers upside-down, reading upside-down text, moving through games backwards, and looking up skirts, though that last one I wonder if I got from video games or ... other things

There can only be one, like in that foreign movie where there could only be one, and in the end there is only one dude left, because that was the point.
I always try to spread my interest over as much genres as possible. Tank combat simulator on a C64, 4X turnbased strategy, rogue like games, puzzle games on the ds, (arcade) racing, railshooter, pinball, plattformer, shmups, and so on.
However, I never got into JRPGs besides some rare exceptions like "Golden Sun". Also, never liked to play FPS on a console besides the Wii. I dont get the dual-analog controlls right.
Much too often, I was stupid enough to sell a game , only to rebuy it months later.

I've done that a good number of times...I eventually tried to give up on selling games at all as a result, only to find my collection getting WAAAAAAAAAY too big and me not having enough money to buy new stuff. So instead, I've been working on refining my standards for keeping games, dumping the "meh" ones and keeping only the great stuff. It's been working pretty well for me. I occasionally think I want to replay a "meh" title, but I'm getting better at resisting that urge...definitely a must-have skill with so many unplayed great games out there.
Okay, so...I'm a completionist except when I'm not, by which I mean I either complete a game 100% or don't finish it at all, generally. I play a wide variety of genres and am equally capable of enjoying the care-free fun of a Mario game and the "depress-o-rama" interactive storytelling that is Heavy Rain, but generally don't care for the more realistic sports and racing titles, or strategy titles, real-time or otherwise. I don't like playing online games with strangers and insist upon having at least one friend present to even log on.
I'm known among all my local friends as the biggest gaming geek by far, even though it's not at all difficult to showcase the massive gaps in my knowledge using the vast power of the free-floating entity known as "teh webz."

I just don't sell anything unless I really don't want it anymore. Like, I want it out of my site as soon as possible. I've sold a bunch of games recently, but I doubt I'll regret selling a single one of them.
Speaking of which, anyone want a copy of Professor Layton 1?

How can a game collection be "too big"? I have a fairly large collection, and I can understand having too many games to play, but I would never consider selling any of them just because I don't have the time to play every one any time soon. The only time I ever sell a game is if I think it's horrible, or, now that I have a large collection, I'll sell some of the games I know I'll never care enough to play all the way through, unless it's a worthy collector's item, like Super Ghouls n' Ghosts. There's no way I'm finishing that game...

I had that problem too. Now, I sell games that are either boring, frustrating, or just not entertaining anymore.
when I play a game like fallout or kotor, i like to think of a character ahead of time, not just good or evil or neutral but something like "a bumbling idiot who tries to do the right thing but always fails" or "a travis bickle like fellow with his own strange moral set." that way I always know how to act in a given scenario, and it makes the game more fun to play through again.

That's exactly what role-playing is supposed to be like. You're doing it right.
i like to play games only wearing tube socks and the blinds open... but no really im selective of my games and im trying to cut down and just keep really good ones then again the other games always call on me mostly what Stuffgamer1 said...

And yes, he is (usually) always right, and he is (almost) the sexiest gamer out there (not counting me) ;)
@grenworthshero: Hundreds of games + small living space = fail. If I had the space and money to be able to afford to keep all of my games, I probably would. But I don't, so I sell the good but not great ones, with the exception of entries in series I like. I don't think FFXIII is all that great, for example, but it's Final Fantasy, so I'm keeping it.

I don't really feel like I'm that unique... but here goes. I'm a big Tales of Series fan and own every mothership title for the series except for Tales of Graces because it costs an arm and a leg. I'm big into RPGs, but I haven't enjoyed an FF game outside of IX and IV.
I'm a girl? But maybe that's not so unique anymore. XD
