Ok so we are all gamers here we can admit that, but the question is how big of gamers are we. Lets discuss
Me: I worked at a Comic and Gaming Store for 4 years and picked up some great habits. Before working there I played Warhammer Fantasy and Magic the Gathering. I would say I was a pretty got Magic Player and a decent Fantasy Player. Then I started working at the shop. By this time I had phased out of magic (Just too expensive) and really had put a halt to Warhammer but then it all changed. Fantasy was played by a group of regulars including two of the four owners of the company and it was great to find such a strong play group. Then came Vampire the Eternal Struggle the Card Game and boom my gaming took off. Playing at a World Class level I found my gaming and then it just bloomed from there
Games I play (or have played): Magic The Gathering Vampire The Eternal Struggle A Game of Thrones Megaman CCG Anacronisim Arkham Horror Any Cheapass Game Kill Doctor Lucky Remake Battlelore Warhammer Fantasy Warhammer 40K Blood Bowl (Probably my favorite Games Workshop Game) Necromunda Flames of War (one of the best games rules and storywise but never took off in the US) Star Wars CCG Star Trek CCG
Plus many more I am probably forgetting

Oh geez. This is going to be a tough one.
Dungeons and Dragons D20 Modern Mutants and Masterminds Hunter the Vigil Shadowrun Magic the Gathering Star Wars Decipher Version Middle-Earth CCG Pokemon CCG Star Trek CCG Hero Quest Monsterpocalypse Arkham Horror Settlers of Cataan Killer Bunnies Munchkin Zombie Fluxx
I have Warhammer 40k books for the Space Marines and Necron but I don't have the money or time to invest in it.
There's a Mega Man CCG? Tell me more.

Forgot sports games:
Strat-O-Matic baseball, basketball and football Raw CCG WCW CCG MLB CCG - loved this game MLB - collectible figure game, it sucked NFL CCG - you swiped the cards and plays and it told you the yards gained.
I would also kill to get my hands on an electric football set. I've coveted one since I was 12.
Some others I forgot:
Battletech Mage Knight

I play/have played: Pokemon CCG (Yeah that's right, I'm a product of the 90s) Vs. System CCG (X-Men represent imo) Mage Knight (Only for a brief period in late 01/early 02 when my cousins played it religiously) Heroclix Horrorclix Yomi CCG (Fighting game in card form, it's a pretty cool game) Universal Fighting System CCG (Confusing as fuck) Epic Battles CCG (Mortal Kombat vs. Street Fighter....vs. Tekken!) WWE Slam Attax CCG WWF RAW Deal CCG WCW Nitro CCG (Though I don't think I know where any of the stuff is anymore) Yu-Gi-Oh CCG (Retired from this in like 2005 when tournament play around here dried up) NFL Showdown CCG Heroscape MLB Sportsclix (I don't think it was as bad as Maddog said, but it was a bitch trying to pull a half decent player from a booster) Statis Pro Basketball

A good High School friend started up playing D&D again and I'm back using my character from the late 80's early 90's, but it seems that our group has no time to really play much...
In the past this is what gaming I once played...
D&D AD&D RIFT GURPS Cyberpunk 2121 Shadow Run Robo-Tech Car Wars Gamma World Gammarauders Blood Bowl Marvel Super Heroes DC Comics Super-Heroes Call of Cthulhu Top Secret Starfleet Battles Axis & Allies Risk Talislanta Paranoia and a Vietnam RPG I cant recall the name of...

The first table top game I played was APBA baseball after that it was The Superstar Pro Wrestling game and then Dungeon and Dragons. I played a lot of the other games TSR put out but they didn't compare to Dungeons And Dragons IMO. I remember playing Boothill, Top Secret, Star Frontiers,Gangbusters and The Marvel Super Heroes games. The Marvel Super Heroes game was ok but the system sucked. Another company( cant remember the name) put out a much better superhero system starting with the TMNT RPG. A few others that I liked back then were Car Wars, and The James Bond RPG. I also played COTG once in a while but never bought my own set until Legends came out.

What a bunch a dorks (and I am proud to count myself a member of you)!
Anyway DnD: 1st, 2nd 3rd and 3.5 Heroes Unlimited- very short time Magic- stopped at Ice AGes Overpower Doomtrooper Heroclix- stopped playing seven years ago (Avengers Assemble?), but recently have begun purchasing singles of current sets, especially Hammer of Thor figs) Star Wars Minis 8( Monsterpocalypse Heroscape and Marvelscape Pirates constructable game Attacktix Dreamblade Yomi- it is a fun game
Currently playing MonPoc (love Tectomoc), about 3 times a month. Started Dreamblaed recently mainly due to ease you can pick up figures (anyone have an extra Ekkyon Wayfarer they'd be willing to part with?). Would love to get back into playing SWM on occasion- target has really cheap boosters and I would love to try ouit my new Cad Bane once. Heroscape is a good game I can play with my boys (started teaching my oldest a bit) Attacktix is purely to play with them- just shooting to knock down other figures. Pirates is fun, but I do not think my buddy will play me anymore because of my aggressive nature; I usually kick his trasure gathering ass. He introduced me to Yomi, which he had bought the entire set. Pretty expensive but pretty well done.
Monpoc is probably my favorite of those up there. I am not the greatest player, but I do not mind winning or losing. Just fun to get the two monsters beating the hell outta one another./ .

I forgot Heroscape.
I don't hate Sportsclix. It just wasn't as good as the CCG was. And as previously stated, finding good players was near impossible.

I love MonPoc. I never get to play but I think the game is brilliant.
Killer Bunnies is a great game too. It's a good game that even non-nerds will play and enjoy.

Sportsclix was hit and miss. The first set had a good playstyle but too easy to score runs. The second rules had a strange playstyle but you couldn't score to save your life.

Like I said, in the face of the MLB CCG it just didn't add up. I never felt it was unbalanced where I felt it was too easy to get a pitcher worn down in a few innings and just score at will in the original Sportsclix.

I haven't really done much of that sort of gaming since college.... Definitely played alot of Magic... and tried a few of the others that were around at the time (Star Wars, Dune the Vampire one, Illuminati, Overpower)
Never got into the 'clix' I always thought the guys should have been higher quality.
RPG wise, we had an awesome Gamma World campaign back in the day... I've done some D-n-D and some VampireL The Masquerade as well. I couldn't get into the LARPing, but when we did table top Vampire: Dark Ages I had alot of fun... I 'broke' the game, which is always amusing.
These days I'm more into Euro board games when I have time. Stuff like Settlers of Catan, Dominion, Ticket to Ride, that sorta thing.
