The hardcore gamers I know are so boring, they just play this all the time.

revived for awesones.

I am both. To chose one over the other would be an excercise in oversimplification IMO. I consider myself a gaming enthusiast.

To elaborate, gaming has always been a prominent leisurely pastime of mine. I am uneasy with the distinction between 'hardcore' and 'casual'. Some so called 'casual' titles have sucked up far more of my time than most 'hardcore' games. Multiplayer games in particular tend to attract me. Nevertheless, I do enjoy lengthy single player experiences. I try not to limit myself to any particular gaming categories.

In terms of time i put into games i would be casual, but i like hardcore type games. So i'm in between really.
