    After being a PC Gamer for five years, I notice that gamers attitudes change during the different seasons, particularly during fall and winter. Players tend to be a bit nicer around this time and servers playing winter or holiday themed maps which are really cool. What are things have you guys and girls noticed about gamers as the seasons change?

    P.S. That is why fall/winter are my favorite seasons to play video games.

    P.P.S. Yeah, I am weird, give me a break will ya'.

    It's just you. You will definitely see more gamers online during school holidays and less during exam season, that's the only constant I've picked up about gamers over the years.

    Interesting post usapat!

    Now that I think about it you're on to something. It's true, you find some pretty cool themed maps. Maybe everyone's happy about the holiday seasons?

    I definitely play more games from October - February... maybe because of daylight savings time, it gets dark so early that it feels good to be warm @ home playing some games.

    Sometimes when I'm playing in the summer, I'll stare outside and feel I should be doing something outdoors and taking advantage of the nice weather.
