Gamer labels? Come on.
I was over at another message board and there was a thread about "What kind of gamer are you?"
The poster asked if people were "Casual, Mainstream, or Hardcore." Why must people feel the need to label things?
I put something like "It's self-righteous to label oursevles. As long as you are having fun, you are a gamer."
Abd someone got all offended and called me a mainstream gamer for that. And gamers wonder why the public doesn't take them seriously...
FIGHT THE POWER
You know what is even more retarded. To label yourself a gamer. We are all humans here. Why be self-righteous and label ourselves anything else?
Placing the word hardcore in front of anything is a bad idea. When it's a word that most people translate as 'unsociable geek' then it's even worse.
"The most important and recognize player in the history of the country."
Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.

Because different gamers are into different things? Fact is, I treat games differently from the guy who has an Xbox, Halo, and has a multiplayer game for a couple of hours a week. It's not derogatory or... a suitably intelligent sounding anotnym of derogatory to be either, it's simple fact.
PP is the stuff, but what does it have to do with this topic?
New episode on the 18th, though
I'm a casual gamer in a hardcore sense. No wait. I'm a hardcore gamer in a casual mainstream sense. I grew up on games and yet it takes a rare and excellent game to keep my attention anymore :D As for why? Because it gives people an idea of what you're like. Labels are for stereotyping personalities. Get enough stereotypes on you and people get a better feel for what you're like. Right or wrong, it's all for reference sake.
Becuz all these n00bs r not hardcore gamers they dont have micro skills.
