| The Ghost of RubangB said: I am an unfailingly loyal member of the hardcore of the casual gaming movement. I don't believe that a hardcore exists, but I do find it amusing that you're claiming to be hardcore while admitting you haven't beaten a single Mario game. |
I think you might have missed the point a little; the whole idea was to attribute hardcore gaming to an actual measurable metric that makes sense rather than attributing it to playing a particular type of game (such as Mario, Halo, shooters in general, games that sell well and are hyped as the end-all-be-all, online gaming...). This means that even those who own a wii, which is usually considered casual could by this definition be considered hardcore.
You on the other hand somewhat argued in favor of those that consider the Wii casual by defining my lack of hardcoreness simply because I don't care much for Mario. You've applied the exact same reasoning that defines Wii as casual simply because of the games that are available.
How do you breathe again?
