I answer these all the time on other sites for people, so why not.

  1. Do you play games? If yes, how many?

Yes, and I usually play World of Warcraft, League of Legends, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, etc. Mostly RPGs.

  1. What is you qualify of a gamer?

Be a person who actively plays games. (not ALL THE TIME, but a good amount)

  1. Do you consider yourself as a gamer?

Pretty much.

  1. What do you think of people who games?

They're cool beans.

  1. Do you think that playing games is something bad?

Not really. I knew what a lot of stuff was when I was younger, and I pick up things faster. In WoW/League, you always have to learn rotations, bursts, fighting mechanics, etc quickly.

  1. What do you think of the typical young white heterosexual man as the main character of the game?

I'm a girl, but definitely not a feminist. More of a, 'humanist' I guess. I'm all fine with the whole cliche male protagonist setting, but I still appreciate when developers push the envelope with new types of leads and other characteristics that are usually not used in games. (For example, Bindings of Issac had a lot of religious things in it that not many developers have the guts to put out.)

  1. How would you define a typical "Asian" in the "real world"?

NORMAL HUMAN BEINGS.

  1. How would you define a typical "African-American" in the "real world"?

AGAIN, NORMAL HUMAN BEINGS.

  1. Does the fact that you play videos games change your perceptions of the minorities? (African-American and Asians

As I am a minority myself, NO.

  1. Would you agree that the characters in a game would have an impact in your real world?

Not really. But they're fun to learn about and get attached to. (Sorry about your shitty life Lulu. At least you still have Pix!)
