What is a hardcore gamer? A miserable little pile of secrets! But enough talk, have at you!

What? Somebody had to do it.

Anyway, going by basic dictionary definitions (why do people forget about those so much?), a hardcore gamer would be a gamer who holds certain values to be fundamentally central to gaming, and adhere to those values as being the basis of all games. Not any specific values, mind you; the term "hardcore" can apply to anything from die-hard gamers, to die-hard sex fanatics, to die-hard aquarium fanatics, so you really can't say that there are consistent values attached to the term.
