In the trials and tribulations of the Tavrobel gaming timeline, I have conjectured before, that "hardcore" is not just a display of skill, but rather, an investment of time. To say that someone who is naturally good at video games is hardcore is not necessarily true. I should only hope that you share my perspective, but alas, I am not here to convince anyone.

I myself come from a long, proud line of "hardcore" gamers. I have spend enough time to know the mechanics of a large group of games, down to the formulae associated with them. These are by no means simple tasks, and neither are they easy to memorize. I myself am no slack of a gamer: in Starcraft and starcraft II, I have mastered the mechanics of playing the Terran race, and when it comes to Diablo II, I alone among the hordes of EoFF mambers have the bitter distinction of having suffered permanent damage to my right wrist from playing the game. If I had discovered hotkeys earlier in my life, my left wrist would be in severe pain, as well.

I am not here to wax philosophical, but time investment is the hallmark of hardcore gaming, not skills. Several of the nominees come from being featured while playing the games of their expertise firsthand, such as Iceglow, MILF, and if you bothered to talk to him, JKTrix, while others have come from the school of analysis and discussion, such as Kanno, Vivi22, and Sephiroth. Both are valid forms of hardcore gameplay. But in any case, I am not to say, this time. EoFF chooses: who would EoFF say has spent the most time on their games?

Ohh, btw, for those who think that you can be both a hardcore gamer and primarily a console gamer, you are automatically incorrect.

Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

My Yahoo doesn't want to join the group.

I like Tavrobel's speeches. :) Also, I lack Yahoo Messenger, or a mic. On a fail boat over here. Oh well!

Someone start an MSN groupy thingy too.

Frankly, I'm surprised I got the three votes that weren't mine.

That's still 21 puppies you guys are making me kill though and we're not even done yet. I hope you're all proud of yourselves.:doublecolbert:

Your challenge intrigues me. I actually think it would be fun.

And the Ciddie goes to...
Wolf Kanno

Wolf Kanno................20
JKTrix....................12

I might be bothered to join an MSN group at some point.

Oh, and go WK! You definitely deserve both of those as much as anyone.

Touhou is a lot of fun. Also the games are very difficult. I'm happy that I've cleared two different extra stages so far :p
