I'm in a tizzle... There's no video games where I live. Seriously, how is that even slightly possible? I mean, there's gamers everywhere... But none here. The other problem is, how can you spot a gamer? I mean, I want gaming friends...

It depends. I'm the lone wolf type when it comes to gaming, I like to play games by myself. I wouldn't worry about finding local gamers, especially with no good multiplayer games. As for online console gaming, it's a waste of time.

Here's an idea.

If you have the ability to travel, try using other forums to meet people in real life who share the same qualities that you have.

Without the ability to travel, or access to a expansive gaming community, you won't find other gamers. I found most of my gaming friends at a Reanaissance festival lol. If you have any of those, you'll find all the gamers. I swear. On the other side of that, you could go to a midnight release event for a console or something of the like. I was at the Wii Launch and met a ton of people. TCG's are a great way to find gamers too. If you find a hobby store near you, then you'll find people who like to play games like Magic: The Gathering and the World of Warcraft Trading card game. Most of them like to play video games too.

Basically, there are places you'll meet them. On the whole, your school is not the place. Neither is your church. You'll have to go to non-mainstream places to find non-mainstream people. Good luck!

Er, all the consoles have been released here... And they weren't released here at midnight. And our consoles were probably imported from Adelaide...

Not really. We don't get out much. College/Higher Education is about the only way to consistently find communities. World of Warcraft will help you find people. Another thing you could do is wear a shirt advertising your particular interest. That way, people who share that interest will strike up conversation with you. Talk to them! Get their number. Give them your number! Play your game!
