I would ask a bunch of questions.

Are video games your favorite type of entertainment? yes
Do you play almost every day? Erm.... most days (maybe 75%) but whether that counts as almost every I don't know.
Do you prefer to spend most of your disposable income on games? yes
Have you played your whole life? ????  little bit difficult to have done that, but the past 13 years out of 21 must count surely.
Do you enjoy most genres of games? yes
Do you follow video game news sites or magazines often? yes
Do you know at least some of the history of video games? yes
Do you watch television shows about video games? As far as I am aware, there in only 1 show about video games here in the UK, and it is a terrible show.
Do you daydream about video games? yes, but then I daydream about lots of things.
Do you discuss video games online? yes
Are you constantly planning the next games you will play? ???? I suppose so
Do you own multiple systems at the same time? Nope, unless you count past systems I still own
Do you play retro games? Some yes
Do you beat a majority of the games you play that you like enough to beat? yes
Do you challenge any games on their hardest difficulty level? yes
Have you ever purchased a video game soundtrack? Nope
Have you ever read a book based on a video game? Whut? I didn't even realise there were books based on games... I would imagine they are terrible terrible books.
Do you have any clothing or accessories with video game characters on them? Nope, well yes to accessories, but they were free and I don't wear them... oh wait, I suppose keyrings count as a yes.

Eh, I'm sure there's more but I'm tapped for the moment. I would think there are different levels of hardcore as well. I answered yes to every question except "Have you ever read a book based on a video game?"

That said I fully recognize that there are people who would be considered much more hard core. I wouldn't be able to do an actual list of games I've beaten or played a lot because I lost count back in the NES days. Although I wish I had documented that through the years.
