If you're a HARDCORE gamer you.......

[dnnc]

play games more than 4 hours a day

or

5 days a week.

you own 1 - 2 of the current gen systems, plus 1 - 2 of the last gen, 

you MUST

own a dreamcast

still have your SNES hooked up though you never play it

have a Genesis somewhere

you get both EGM & Gamepro or just gameinformer

you think that attack of the show, is a good show

you claim to hate adam sessler even though you watch x-play 3 or more times a week

you have at least

10 games for 360 (if 360 is your only console, then you own about 15 - 20)

6 games for PS3 (* PS3 * * * * , * * * * 9 - 12)

7 games for Wii (* Wii * * * *, * * * * 12)

for some reason if you really like a game, you would never consider trading it in.

Most importantly, if you are a Hardcore Gamer, it is not possible for you to have 

a fulltime carreer, pretty girlfriend, sleep more than 6 hours a day. (all of that together)

and not to forget, you're willing to pay extra to get a system or a game just to say that you have it (dumb shit)

you're willing to wait on a line for hours to get a system or game on day one (idiot)

and you actually READ stuff written by Micheal Pachter

if you do not fit all of these, yes all of them, YOU ARE NOT A HARDCORE GAMER
