Ok, FJ, I have a question.

I'm a girl and I play videogames. I dont play too much, but I do like lots of mario games, portal sometimes, amnesia sometimes, Alice: Madness Returns, pikmin and of course, pokemon. There's a few more, but I cant remmebr right now.

I don't think I earn the title "gamer" because I don't play that many video games, but one of my other gal pals (who considers herself a nerd and only plays pikmin, all the facebook games and zelda) calls me a gamer girl.

Of course, I'm thinking "what does she know?" but what if she's right? So, am I gamer, a nerd or whaaat? What am I? Nothing in that area maybe?

A gamer would be someone who spends a good chuck of their time playing games and/or in the video game sub-culture (E3 as a good recent example).
A nerd is generally a derogatory term depending on who you talk to, but generally a social outcast, NOT an ironic statement.
Now you should feel more confident to place the labels on you.
(Oh god, I'm posting a opinion on FJ, this is going to end badly.)

I don't get why people are so hung up about a label, how bout you just play games and not give a shit what you call yourself.

I usually dont really care, but some of the guys I know are like "Oh! You play pokemon, too? Are you a gamer?!" and, if I say "yes" then they'll start quizing me on bigger video games that I don't know anything about, but if I say "no" then they'll think I'm just being coy and wanting attention or whatever.

Very true, the troubles of being a girl who isn't just whoring herself out for attention.

You enjoy the occasional game.

Not really classified as a gamer.

And you're right, what does she know.
