if you had to chose one, which do you identify with more?

I'm actually asking this for a reason, not just curiosity. I have an idea for the site, and this applies to whether its a good idea or dumb.

sorry to the first 4 votes, I just deleted them. vote again!

That was a really horrible question and I just suffered a major crisis of self having to pick one of those little dots to click.... :cry:

Seriously, though, I'm interested to see the results of this poll.

Since I started both at a young age, it was a hard choice. However, I kept on gaming all the time while crafting was on a 15 year break, so I figured I'm more of a gamer. And it was my love for games that had me crafting again. Though I can do both for a week at a time without thinking about the other.

Well played sir. :BM

It wasn't hard for me. I've been doing both for a LONG time (like as soon as I could hold pencils/controllers) but I affiliate with gamer more, it was a major part of who I was back in college as I wanted to make games back then.

I'm surprised by the results so far...I figured we were mostly gamers who were handy enough to do crafts, not crafters who enjoy vids. Well, I figured both...but in surprised at the %s so far.

On the one hand, i've done more hours gaming than crafting... on the other hand, I get more enjoyment overall (and more long-lasting enjoyment) from crafting, and I spend a lot of my time while gaming thinking about the game-related crafts that I want to do. "Ooh! That quote deserves a pattern!" or "If only I knew 3D, I'd rip that model and make a papercraft template..."
