What do you mean , you're playing a game ?

Ever wonder yourself the same question? Here's a comperhensive illustrated guide to gaming phases and a brief interaction advice. Although , i'm against interaction while gaming .


1. Chilled Gamer



While in this phase, the gamer is relaxed and not too immersed in the gameplay and is most susceptable to communication with the enviroment. His non-game mental processes are still running but with limited effectiveness. While in this phase :




- Open to every questioning method.
- Not more than 2 consecutive questions are advised.
- Avoid questions with more than 2 four-syllable words.
- There's a significant chance (if you ask the right question/get naked) that he'll pause the game and stop the gaming process.

Common response : "After i finish this level/boss/checkpoint i'll *do-stuff*"

2. Focused Gamer



In this phase , the gamer is in the process of resolving a difficult problem , and you need to be extra careful while addressing him. His mind is focused on the game and there is slim (or not at all) chance to get an answer. While in this phase:



- Yes/No questioning is advised.
- Not more than 1 consecutive question.
- Avoid using more than 2-syllable words.
- There's a significant chance that if you ask the wrong question ( or repeat the same one multiple times ) that the gamer will enter the next phase.
- If you get naked AND bring a friend MAYBE he'll stop gaming. Depends on the friend :)

Common response : "Later , Honey" , "I can't right now"

3. Gamer's Fury



Congratulations , you've had contact with the Angry Gamer phase. at this phase the gamer is a hazard to the environment and the people around him, and no communication of any kind is advised.





No questions or touching of any kind. Just leave the room .. in a calm manner. The quickest way for a gamer to enter this phase is
- power shortage , while not saved progress
- unintented (or intented ) deletion of saved games.

Common response : "Fucking fuck", "Fuckin' piece of shit" , and all the varations of using "fuck" and "shit".
