I'm getting tired of FPS junkies trying to define themselves as "the hardcore gamers" when many of them by 3 games per gen: Halo and 2 GTA's. And then some kid playing thousands of hours of Pokemon is labeled as casual.
But if 1up really does think of themselves as hardcore consider these two definitions from thefreedictionary.com and which one they may be falling under.
I think the real hardcores are the 1st def, and the complainers (like 1up in this case) fall in the second.
1. The most dedicated, unfailingly loyal faction of a group or organization:
2. An intractable core or nucleus of a society, especially one that is stubbornly resistant to improvement or change.
