I'd have to say that there is a big difference how I act on the internet and how I act in real life. What about you? Are you completely different? Is Gamespot like your alter ego? Spill the beans!

I type the same stuff I would think and say in real life but obviously there is a big difference as to how I perceive myself in real life situations compared to internet forums.

The way I express myself online is exactly how I am if I was more outspoken. In real life, I am not. Unless im with someone I know well.

I rarely post on here and am "shy" when it comes to posting. In real life I'm pretty out spoken.

I write better English online than I speak in real life as ironic as that may seem given the average internet text looks like "OMG guyz jst got home 4 smmr br3ak".

Normally I'm more forceful than I am in real life on forums, but since I mostly lurk here, I try to be friendly.

No, I don't think I own any purple clothing and I'm discouraged from handling kunai.

I'm pretty much the same... I'm boring and quiet both online and offline. :P I'm funnier offline though. I'm always making jokes and making my friends laugh. I don't think my humor really translates to the internet very well...

I talk about the same amount on the Internet as I do in real life - I sometimes feel like I have nothing to add to conversation, so I'm occasionally very quiet. Strangely, I think I'm sometimes a better speaker online than I am in real life! :P

Edit: Oh, and I'm equally polite in both cases.

I am exactly the same online and in person. Anyone that has talked to me on and off the forums should be able to verify that.

Personality wise, yes. But I'm less chatty in real life. I can't think of a response to say quickly in real life than how fast I can reply on the internet.....

Same online as I am offline, quiet most of the time, attentive, always listening, rarely speaking unless it's best to and usually not showing my sense of humour often and doing my best to keep from any emotional outbursts.

Also just as in real life, I do my best to be polite, respectful, well mannered and considerate of others.

I act completely the same. I blog about nothing to my GS friends, same as I talk about nothing to my reality friends.

I'm outgoing like I am in real life and "MrsSolidSnake" really sums up myself :P

Pretty similar. A little more vulgar and most always have a crude joke at the ready in real life, but overall very similar

it depends. I used to troll System wars and say things there I wouldn't say to most people in real life. Usually I am pretty stand up in both forums and real life.

I'm louder and crazier in real life, especially around my friends. I try to act more mature on here because I like to make good first impressions and I take every post as my first impression.

The main difference is, I have a lot more time to think what I want to type out; so it's more the real me in the forums whereas I am not that good at quick replies in real life and so I often end up saying what was not exactly what I want to say, replying with shallow answers.

As I understand it, Omni-Slash ends every sentence with an ellipsis when talking to people in person. That has to get awkward for all involved. :lol:

Lord, no.

I obviously don't talk the same way I write. I don't think most people do. But I'm also a lot more shy and quiet in real life.

I'm a tad different in real life. One might think of me as an idiot if some the things I say in real life were posted here without context. My jokes are very harsh, ignorant, and just plan wrong most of the time. I am also pretty quite in real life.

I pretty much behave like a feeble-minded but friendly dork here. My company in person is insufferable to most, for many reasons, most of them being my own. (:
