Riddles

That's what I was wanting.

Up, down, left, right,

Front, back, angles in sight.

From a square to a hexagon with a turn of the head,

When in truth it never changes; You do instead.

I would like to know what I am, because apparently I have no idea.

EDIT: And Sampa already knows the answer. Don't you dare ask him for it.

Hold a cube so that one vertex is nearest to you and the opposite vertex is behind it and it will look like a hexagon, but it's still the same cube. That's what I take the third and fourth lines as referring to.

Taking all three dimensions into account, from that viewpoint the cube has three-fold rotational symmetry, and in crystallography cubic symmetry is defined by having four three-fold axes of rotation (corresponding to the four diagonals of a cube). I've spent enough time fooling around with molecular models of crystal structures that I readily recognised the riddle as possibly referring to a cube.

I'll make a riddle! I love making them even though I suck.

I'm loved by many.

My age group is mostly under-aged for me.

Headsets are the key to winning and trolling with me.

My players usually are here to have fun, but then we have the tryhards.

What am I?
