RPG are role playing games in which you assume the role of a character and play through the various storylines. A popular concept of RPGs is "becoming someone else, somewhere else."

FPS are known as first-person shooters, which are all typically war geared games in the first person perspective. Which involves the use of some type of weapon in the game.A first person perspective is as if you were looking through the eyes of the character. Which just adds a
realistic feeling to the game. Nicholas Baker a gamer columnist wrote that FPS are popular because,
"you are multiple guns running around."

My Custom Community

My community is like my weapons loadout; customized to fit my lifestyle
and what I enjoy. I could never choose between the RPG or the FPS
community. They both have developed my childhood, and definitely
impacted how I go about making choices. For example since I know
billions of possible outcomes from my gameplay. I now have an
optimized judgement, on what will benefit me the most. In addition,
I would say that I now think ahead of what my actions are, and already
have a plan for what I would have to do in case of a problem. Like a FPS
gamer I think on the spot what will affect me. And like a RPG gamer I know
what will come ahead and think of alternate routes to the same path if needed. For you see I'm a gamer not because I don't have a life, but because I have chosen to have many!

Our Language
There is a long list of vocabulary that gamers familiarize themselves with,
but I present merely the basic repetitive words that are essential for outsiders
willing to join the community. For example the picture header at the top may look
to many as either a combo move or just mumbo jumbo, but actually to a lot of
gaming fanatics this was a cheat code that was very popular back then. Below
are just a few words that should be memorized to join the social community. Note
that most of these are either abbreviations, or acronyms. The slideshow above is
meant for visual purposes of the following terms.
Noob
New inexperienced gamer.
Campaign
The main story line
AP
Action point. In the game it is a measure
of energy allocated for the characters actions.
HVT
High Value Target. Usually a person that must
be captured because of the value they hold either
information or an object.
"Lag!!"
When the internet connection is slow and lags the
movement of the gamer.
OP
Overpowered. Refers typically to the weapons being
too powerful. More times than most it serves as an
excuse for someone getting pwned.
Pwned
To defeat another player in a awesome or humiliating way.
