Ah yes, the hardcore gamers. I personally just use the term as a euphemism for "pompous elitist jerk." And my face sinks into my palms every time someone calls themselves a "hardcore gamer" with great zeal and pride, as if they've accomplished something.

The reason why "hardcore gamers" hate on... "Casual gamers" is because they cannot emotionally handle someone saying something different about gaming than what they believe, or liking something they don't.

Fuck these stupid labels.
