Re: what type of gamer are you

Personally I would classify myself as a just a gamer simply because, when Im not busy with work, school, or lifes necessities (eating, drinking, sleeping…you know all those important things to keep your body healthy and alive) I'm playing video games. Why? not because I want to be a PRO gamer and join competitions and what not; but because its what I like to do and it helps me to relax and get away from reality for a while. Heres a question for you…Why would you want to classify yourself as a “hardcore” gamer? Does that make you feel like your better a than  just the “average” gamer? Or do you just want to have a title that signifies that you've spent more countless hours on a system than somebody else? A gamer is a gamer regardless of how many hours you've spent on a system…it doesn't make you better than someone else (trust me, i know). I've spent countless hours on some multiplayer games and I have friends who can just pickup the controller without having played the game before and grasp the concept of the game and beat me in the same night…Now, if that happens only to me then oh well i guess ill have to resort to the “average, but crappy” gamer title .
