Malstrom rants about the hardcore - completely misses the point.

[Resident_Hazard]

The gaming snob is something different from a hardcore player.

I consider myself a hardcore gamer. What else would I be? I own 13 systems, love reading, studying, and learning about the industry, and routinely play a wide variety of games, from a variety of console generations.

I'm hardcore and a collector.

There are snobs or elitists to pretty much any hobby. When it comes to Metal, then I've typically been an elitist snob.
