I define a true gamer as someone who respects and has the ability to like games of any genre, and someone who makes a conscious effort to not only play and complete a game but also to improve his or her skill in said games.

My favorite has always been Jon Irenicus of Baldur's Gate II. Introduced to the player in the game's very first cutscene (he wasn't in the first one,) he develops over the course of the story from a psychotic scientist to a very complex villan with an interesting backstory, concluding in one of the best boss battles I have ever experienced.

That's a fairly poor list you've got there honestly. The majority of those are action RPGs, which is a fun and great genre when done right, but not really what most people think of when they hear RPG.

I was also disappointed to see Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 2 on there. While the dark alliance series was certainly good, it doesn't hold a candle to the classic series, which includes Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn. This is not only my favorite RPG of all time, but my favorite game as well.

Sorry to bash your poll dude, but the choices were very poor.

Mine was a fish named Whitey, named for his (durrrrrr) white color. My brother's fish looked like Seaking, although pokemon didn't exist yet then. Later we got a freshwater snail too, my dad was into that one because it basically didn't need food and helped clean the tank too. It was black, (and by that I mean it had a black shell,) but I don't remember it's name either.

Whitey was the first to die. I'm pretty sure it was ick, but I remember thinking that Seaking ate Whitey. We then flushed it. Seaking followed soon after, and also received the flushing. Don't remember what happened to the snail. I think it died, but we may have just got rid of it because it was boring on it's own and it was living way too long.

Good times, good times.
