What Makes You A Hardcore Gamer?

The question of the day folks is…. What makes you a hardcore gamer?

There are tons of people who claim they are hardcore when it comes to gaming, but few have ever had the chance to tell us what makes them a hardcore gamer. Here is your chance to tell me just that!
 
I will start the discussion off.

What makes me a hardcore gamer is first my passion for gaming and my willingness to be late for my best friends wedding because I was almost at the end of GT4. Not sure if that is hardcore or stupid as I was the best man…  It is my motivation to drive a stake in the heart of someone that I am destroying online in any sports game…especially boxing…real hardcore right?

I do absolutely nothing else in the run of a day. :lol

Let me take the time to welcome you to the forum.It'll surprise you how fun and addictive this forum is. :lol
 
What makes me hardcore is that I can pick up almost any game, and get the hang of it real fast. And if I enjoy it, beat it on the hardest difficulties as quickly as I can. And in the case of my x-box, I strive hard to get every possible achievement I can get within ,my playable limitations. (even improvise)
 
I don't claim to be a "hardcore" gamer. It's just one of my many hobbies. However, my collection would probably make you think otherwise.
 
Having an obsession with a game. Any game where you're always thinking about playing, or if you're always thinking about gaming, then you're hardcore. I think gaming apparel helps as well (shirts, hats, hoodies).
 
MY NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, Neo Geo CD system and my Turbo Grafx 16. And the fact that I have no idea that there are any other game systems but those. :lol
