Who do you respect more as a gamer?

I'm not sure if I'd respect one over the other in this case. Gamer A sounds like the kind of person that ideally would work at a video game store, while Gamer B sounds like the person nobody wants to play against in [insert game title here] because he'll just whoop them real bad. On the other hand, you could have a really nice conversation about game [x] with Gamer B if he/she is familiar with it. I don't consider myself wholly one way or the other; I'd say I'm mostly a little of A.

A good example of this would be last fall semester. I had some roommates playing Mario Kart: Double Dash on my Gamecube, whom I usually would beat. Then, somewhere along the way, they took it upon themselves to wipe me off the top times on all the tracks in Time Trials. If they didn't actually do it, they came pretty close. I'm not sure if it was either that or the fact that my apathy on the matter became apparent, but either way, I rarely (if ever) saw them play it after that. Do I care if they beat most (if not all) of my times? Not really. Part of me wants to take those top times back, but for the most part I'm either too lazy or don't think it worth my time. So, in that respect, I don't fall under Gamer B, but I do try to be good at the games I own and enjoy, some more than others.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
