Long before, YEARS before "casual" and "hardcore" gamer became terms people used (misused) on a regular basis, at least among the internet gaming community, I actually used to refer to myself as "casual gamer", simply because I didn't play games every day. Honestly, I still don't. I own a lot of games, own many systems, play on various platforms, and am, in general, very good at gaming and quite knowledgable about it. By modern definition that would make a "hardcore gamer". Quite odd, these labels we place on things.

Also, I wouldn't consider people who play games a lot and come on gaming websites, to all be "expert gamers". Just gamers. An "expert", in my eyes, is the kind of person who can sit and excel at something where few else ever could. People who are just bad ass at certain games.
