---THE CONCLUSIVE ANALYSIS---
0-10 points: THE ENIGMA
You don't even now what video games are, in fact, you didn't even read this quiz. You probably haven't even seen this website. If anyone reading this got this score, well... you're a buffon...
10-40 points: THE GAMING SLUG
You're scarcely interested in video games at all. Either that or you're really old, or really young, and just haven't latched on to what gaming is really about. You probably couldn't even have fun in a theme park.
40-60 points: THE REGULAR GAMER
You like video games but generally just follow the crowd, and give in to the hype. You probably wouldn't go out of your way in the cause of gaming, you just take what comes in your direction. But with 50 or above, you may well be becoming a true gamemonger...
60-80 points: TRUE GAMEMONGER
I reckon most people on this site will be around this status. You are passionate about games and you always have been. Gaming is a BIG thing in your life, and most of the people you know also like video games. You like collecting games but aren't scarily obsessive... just a healthy gamer.
80-99 points: FUNDAMENTALIST GAMING DISCIPLE
Gaming is you life. You eat gaming. You play games all day, and then read or write about them for the rest of the time. You either already do, or want, to work in the games industry. Face it... you're a bit of a nerd.
100 points: THE MESSENGER OF THE APOCALYPSE
If anyone genuinely got this score, then the forces of the gaming world will implode and the earth will dart from its axis and crumble into thousands of molten fragments, as the end of the universe breathes its blanket of bleakness over the last breaths of humanity.
I hope my scoring system was uncannily accurate... as I'm... erm... sure it will.
... so now you know!
What breed of gamer are you?
