Historically, the term "gamer" usually referred to someone who played role-playing games and wargames. Since they became very popular, the term has included players of video games. While the term nominally includes those who do not necessarily consider themselves to be gamers (i.e., casual gamers), it is commonly used to identify those who spend much of their leisure time playing or learning about games.
There are many gamer communities around the world. Many of these take the form of discussion forums and other virtual communities, as well as college or university social clubs. Stores specializing in games often serve as a meeting place to organize groups of players[citation needed]. Prior to the emergence of the Internet, many play-by-mail games developed communities resembling those surrounding today's online games[citation needed].
In October 2006, the Entertainment Consumers Association (ECA) was established as the first non-profit membership organization formed to represent American computer and video game consumers. The ECA was formed, in part, in response to the seemingly imbalanced representation of the games industry (e.g., the ESA, IGDA and others) in comparison to game consumers in the United States Congress.
(Chorus)
Gamers starin' at the t.v set.
Play that (Lemmie see the Genesis)
Gamers starin' at the t.v set.
Play that (I wanna see that NES)
Ah come play with me, come play with me, come play with me
Some psp, some 360, some ps3
Work them sticks gamer
Touch all the buttons on the controller
Grab on those joysticks and give them both a twirl
I wanna see you playin' on the living room floor
This here ain't luck whatcha think I play so much for
An I'm just getting warmed up
It takes half a day before I get a sore butt
Clicky clicky clicky now I'm the next world
Work them sticks gamer
I wanna see that controller shake
Come to my mom's crib we can play until day break
We can play until your thumbs ache
Think about that but right now I'm gonna master
The game Grand Theft Auto.
You think I'm going fast now just wait until I hit turbo.
I play in their world.
Work them sticks gamer
(Chorus)
Gamers starin' at the t.v set.
Play that (Lemmie see the Genesis)
Gamers starin' at the t.v set.
Play that (I wanna see that NES)
Ah come play with me, come play with me, come play with me
Some psp, some 360, some ps3
Work them sticks gamer
Pardon all the trash talk I'm sorry bout your loss
I just scored a touch down using Randy Moss
Get that internet connection and plug it on in
I'm feeling real cocky I'll take on your friends
We can gather round my new 360
There ain't nothing to a gamer
I play on the x-box live on live I'm always in the cyber world.
Work them sticks gamer
Imma make em look dumb
Old granny hardcore you don't want none.
Imma be here all night just starin' at the screen
Workin' on my game till I'm the best on my team
Work it to the right move your finger to the left
Work 'em all around till your finger tips are red
I'm not kidding you I like x-box more than my girl
Work them sticks gamer
(Chorus)
Gamers starin' at the t.v set.
Play that (Lemmie see the Genesis)
Gamers starin' at the t.v set.
Play that (I wanna see that NES)
Ah come play with me, come play with me, come play with me
Some psp, some 360, some ps3
Work them sticks gamer
When the games over you know I'm talking trash
If you wanna lose again you can have a rematch
Geeky young girls like to watch me play in
Maybe in a month I'll be able turn them in
I'm doin' hard work when you see me on this couch
No I don't work out how ya think I got this pouch
And I'm not gonna budge I never play to much
Work them sticks gamer
Go on and put in halo
You see that x&y; Imma show you what they made for
Sure against beginners your un-beat
But lets see how you play when you play against the junkie
Cause your nothing but a rookie
I hope your butts to receive this whopping
Imma show you some new tricks I just learned.
Work them sticks gamer
