Funny enough, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was the first iteration that came out in 2007 and Call of Duty Modern Warfare (2019) is a reboot. Then they used roman numerals for the second and third reboots but used a 4...

I will now and then play the Call of Duty Infinite Warfare's single player campaign because is the closest thing I have to a Hard Sci Fi FPS, that reminds me of The Expanse. I wish there was something alike...

We just hear too much about other franchises and 'auteurs'. I've got some keywords blocked because I was so sick of hearing about them.

I occasionally have a desire for a quick MP shooter that's extremely easy to play with a controller and might hop onto Warfare cuz it's free, but I could just as easily play The Finals, which is a way better game just not that easy to play with a controller.

And the only sports games I play are hockey and wrestling. And most of what I do in WWE is just make wrestlers and not actually wrestle with them 🤣

I played cod on 360 in 2007. It was a good time. I outgrew those games, but I hope people are having as much fun with them in 2026 as I did back then. Ain't nothing wrong with playing cod.

Been stuck in the muck of online dating recently. I don't wanna be like "these are signs of a fake gamer" but there's so, so many people who put in their profile how they're a huge gamer and then in the same line talk about how they play Marvel Rivals and an extraction shooter without mentioning any other games.

I guess it makes it easy to filter them?

Maybe you could call them a mainstream gamer, but Marvel Rivals and extraction shooters are not fake games, so I don’t know that the people who play them should be called fake gamers.

It's more like...would you call yourself a fan of Japanese food if the only Japanese food you ever ate was sushi?

Videogames are a very mainstream medium, but it seems like anyone who plays them still considers themselves a gamer. Is my mom a gamer because she plays Candy Crush on her phone? At a certain point it became a hobby that anyone can enjoy, and the label of gamer is now more used for people who play a lot of games.

“I’m a fan of Japanese food, sushi specifically.”

“I’m a fan of gaming, Overwatch specifically.”

What’s the problem? My dad was a gamer when I was a kid watching him play Gamecube, and he was still a gamer the way he kept on top of Candy Crush and My Singing Monsters as new content was added when I was in high school.

Would you consider someone who exclusively plays Hearts of Iron IV for hours each week a gamer, even though they’re not playing lots of games?

What you’re describing I might call a hardcore gamer, but I think if someone feels gaming of some sort is a part of their identity enough to call themself a gamer, I’m fine with calling them one. It’s just too difficult to pin down one common definition that everyone can agree on for me to do otherwise.

If someone's favorite board game is Settlers of Catan, I'm still happy to let them call themselves boardgamers if they so choose. I might try to subtly try introduce them to games that are more... good, but I don't feel the need to exclude them just because they're basic.
