I'm a recreational gamer, if I had to think of some way to describe myself. I game mostly with friends, often as a background element while hanging out and talking. Even with single player games there can be four of us in watching and talking about something entirely unrelated, or I'll be playing DS while talking with a friend playing Battlefield. I play a lot of videogames, but I'm always social about it. I personally find the terms "hardcore" and "casual" to be stupid and (like most labels) created to give insecure people a undeserved sense of superiority.
