So, a hardcore gamer is a gamer that plays games that are M rated? Is that it? Alright, cool. Cause that means that I'm a hardcore gamer cause I own games like Turok 2: Seeds of evil on N64 and Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem on the Gamecube. And I play Madworld on the Nintendo Wii so that makes me hardcore.
What? Oh. Those games are on a Nintendo console. Yeah? Oh, so that's what makes me a casual gamer?
Now, I thought a casual gamer was a gamer that played video games casually. You know, when he or she had the time. Like, if I'm on the bus or a train going to my job and I whip out my Smartphone and play Angry Birds or Tetris. That makes me a casual gamer, right?
OK, OK. What if I casually played Call of Duty: Black Ops? You know, when I had time or casually played Mortal Kombat 9 or Bulletstorm? You know, when I have the time? They're hardcore games so even though I play them sometimes, that makes me a hardcore gamer, right?
Oh, so you have to play them for long periods of time too? AND they have to be online? Oh, so like those World of Warcraft people? Like...Playing 18 hours a day? Oh. Alright.
Let's just say for the sake of argument, I owned an Xbox 360 and a Kinect and I wanted to master Michael Jackson: The Experience. I mean, why not? And I played it 18...12 to 18 hours a day. I really wanted to master the games dances. I wanna be a dancing pro like no tomorrow. So I'm playing 12, 18 hours a day and don't say you've never done something like this before because you DDR players from the past. You know you were in the arcades playing DDR for that long. So if I'm playing Miachel Jackson: The Experience 12-18 hours a day mastering this game. I am mastering the hell out of this game. And it's on Xbox 360 so that makes it a hardcore console, right gamers? And I'm playing for long periods of time.
Wait, what? It's a casual game because it's a party game? But it's on Xbox 360. I just don't get it because Guitar Hero is a party game but there's kids out there. You know, those kids out there mastering and getting payed for it. Aren't they hardcore gamers?
Oh, they are. But what? They only play Guitar Hero? Oh, OK. So you're saying hardcore gamers play every game they can get their hands on. So how come people are calling me a Wii fanboy just because I own that one console? Does that mean that because they don't play Wii games, they're not hardcore because they don't play everything? So, I'm more hardcore than them because I enjoy all video games. Is that what you're saying?
No? That's not it either? Oh...Nintendo doesn't have good online, you say? Yeah...OK...OK, OK, OK. Shut up. I think I got it. Just shh. If I play M rated games on a non-Nintendo console. I play them for long, extended periods of time BUT still make time for other games that are also considered hardcore. Playing them online with my headset in. You know, killing people. The game has to have killing people in the game. And playing 12 to 18 hours a day. You know, that's a must. Neglecting food, water, family, sunlight, and love. And then coming online to Youtube and then making fun of people that play a variety of different games on different consoles that don't meet MY standard of hardcore. That makes me hardcore.
Then I guess I'm a casual gamer. |

| Actually it's a pretentious person who thinks they're so "cool" for playing a certain type of game |

Actually, the only Nintendo Wii game I have that has more than 3 people on at a time is Mario Kart.
Could just be my games, though.
