I'm interested in the different approaches to video gaming taken by introverts and extraverts. Many introverts say they don't know any extraverts who are 'really into gaming'. My personal experience is that I've known plenty of extraverts who are into gaming in a big way, but they approach it differently and often like different kinds of games.
Your thoughts, anyone?
Avid PC gamer here. I'm big on rpgs (Baldur's Gate, Planescape: Torment, Fallout), mmorpgs (everquest, daoc, wow), fps (tf2, halflife, hopefully STALKER/Crysis once I upgrade) and adventure/puzzle games (Portal, Grim Fandango, Monkey Island series, full throttle - i.e. Lucas Arts games). I never really like RTS games because I found them repetitive. Though I do have a guilty pleasure for Dance Dance Revolution.
I like to refrain from using walkthroughs as much as possible in regards to playing through the first time through. On the other hand, I do like using walkthroughs to find out what could of happened if I did that or if I was like that, or if I do play through it again, see what quests or items I missed. But most importantly, I like to looking at character creation portions of the walkthrough. There's nothing more frustrating than making a n00b character and having to start all over again.
As far as extroverts go, I'll name their type and what their interested in.
ENTJ female - She really LOVES puzzle games like suduko, word searches, logic puzzles, etc. I've recently got her addicted to Popcap Games, such as Peggle and Mystery P.I. (kinda like an interactive I-Spy).
ENTJ male and his ESTJ bro - Mostly mmorpgs like Everquest / WoW. I don't see him that often, but I think he enjoys Call of Duty a lot. His bro plays the same games as well. As far as who plays them the most, I'd say his brother does because he has a lot of time on his hands.
ENFJ male - Back in the day, he played a lot of Starcraft. He also played everquest a little bit, but invested a lot of his time in the selling aspect. E.g. buying low and selling high - he was one rich mother fucker.
By the way, I think almost all powergamers are istjs. Their work ethic combined with their need for perfection at something allow them to play for over twelve hours a day. My istj roommate spends all his time playing WoW when he isn't at work. The only time I see him is when he grabs a bite to eat from the kitchen or plays a few GH3 songs. He only eats once a day. Yeeessssh.
