The Minigamer is not a euphemism for a bad gamer or a short gamer. TSAE's live the heat of the moment, they like games that are fast, straightforward, and downright fun. Quick-Time Events are a favorite staple of a TSAE's game collection. Their fast fingers and even faster reflexes demand actions that happen in the flash of a second, but they hate taking time to memorize combos. For Minigamers, it's all about being at the right place at the right time, but it's okay to mess up once and a while. They play for fun, but they totally pwn everyone in party games! They are not to be mistaken for casual gamers, Minigamers have as much devotion and skill as any other, it just happens that their skills are best suited to the quick and dirty style of minigames.
Games TSAE's like: Mario Party, Wario Ware, Indigo Prophecy

This is quite true. I do love minigames.
TWITCH
You have a strong twitch reflex, which means that your muscles tend to move in very quick jerky movements. This makes you especially adept to action games, since they rely on that very same jerky motion and quick button pressing. You probably beat the pants off of others in minigames using the "tap A to run" mechanism, and you hold your own even in fighting games that you've never played because you can execute the moves very quickly. Unfortunately, you also have trouble with games that require precision movements like shooting games. Your thumbs are just too fast and that little analog stick is so sensitive! And games that require precise timings like the Mario Bros 3 extra life slider give you trouble as well.

This is wrong. I'm terrible at button mashing but I consider myself pretty good at first person shooters. I don't 'move the analog too quickly' as I don't even have an analog stick.
Pfft. Analogs.

SIMPLE
You remember the good old days, when Atari was cutting edge with a joystick and ONE BUTTON. This is not to say that you can't handle more complex controls and concepts, but you prefer that your games didn't require half a novel's worth of instructions. You do best when all the controls and options are right at your fingertips. You probably feel right at home with older games because they inherently have less to work with. Newer games either frustrate you with too many buttons and options, or they just annoy you because there are simpler ways to climb a ladder than jumping on, holding L, and then pushing forward.

This is quite true as I hate having way too many buttons to press as I don't remember what they all do. But I also hate only having 2 or 3 buttons to use on a game. :3
ACTING
In the virtual world, who needs a plan when you can just hit the reset button? You play things by ear, and when the shit hits the fan, you hit the bricks. You're the one who survives the zombie onslaught with only a knife. You're the one who captures the flag long after the rest of your team was killed. You're also the one who can never be relied upon. Because you're never really prepared, you could die during a crucial moment when everyone else has that extra healing potion left. Or during an important mission you fail because you forgot to get the security passcard to get in the base undetected. You play the biggest risk and you reap the results.

I'm really bad in team situations. But I'm also pretty bad on my own. If it's a gamemode like Team DeathMatch then I should be fine and help the team out quite a bit. But if it's one like DeathMatch/Free For All, I have trouble even coming in the top 3. And if it's an objective-based gamemode like Demolition then I'm generally no help to the team at all.
ENTERTAINMENT
You play mostly for the fun of the game. Whether its the story, the gameplay, or just the overall feel of the game, something about it draws you in. You'll find yourself popping a game in years after you completed it to revisit the characters, locales, and gameplay. You probably own at least a few game soundtracks and maybe a few posters. You appreciate games as art and a way to pass the time. You may also play competitively (either professionally or amateur) but that's not the reason you'll be playing them 40 years from now.

I do play mostly for fun. Not for the story though. I actually have an immense amount of trouble following story-lines. I sometimes will play old games, but not for the characters or places. Just for the gameplay, because I found it fun. I don't own any gametracks or posters at all. I kinda do see games as art as I know how hard they can be to make, and not everyone is impressed by the same things. I do play a little competitively sometimes, mostly with friends. But not professionally.
I liked this quiz. It was pretty cool.
Thanks for this. :3
