I always put "hardcore" in "" cos I'm not sure I like the term or understand what people refer to half the time when they mention it. I like playing games, it's my main passtime when I'm not in work so I think I'll think of myself as just a gamer, not a "hardcore" gamer or "casual" gamer, simply a gamer.
I'm looking forward to seeing what all the hype is about with the Wii (cos I have never played on one) and I'm really looking forward to digging out my old Gamecube games and loading them up again too - they've gathered dust for far too long.
I am largely platform agnostic. I fail to understand why some people get overly fanboyish about what is an inanimate piece of electronics that's obsolete even before it's launched, when there are far more important things to champion, such as preventing environmental destruction or preventing millions of people dying unnecessarily from illnesses. This fact however, doesn’t mean I am not someone who doesn’t enjoy gaming as a pastime (as I have done for the last 20 years) or doesn’t have a strong interest in how the market is evolving – hence my presence on this site.
Platforms owned – PC, DS, X-Box 360, PS3, PSP and Wii.
