I think my most hardcore gaming stint was during 2004-2006 when I played World of Warcraft (when it first came out). That was when I was still finishing my bachelor's degree, so I had a lot of time between exams. I initially got into it because I wanted to save money from going out (going out drinking with friends every weekend got to be pretty expensive), but it soon evolved to me flaking out on my friends, which I regretted, so I eventually stopped playing the game.
Ever since I've graduated, I don't play games no where nearly as much (perhaps a few hours a week). I do, however, play a wider variety of games nowadays. To answer the question, I guess I used to be a hardcore gamer, but not anymore.
