Forums - Nintendo - What to call Wii (and DS) players other than 'casual'

Nirvana_Nut85 on 06 December 2008

Hardcore gamer is a term nerds created because they can't go out and get laid due to either lack of social skills or appearance, so to help make themselves deal with that reality a little easier, they classify the,selves in this category.

I myself am a gamer. I enjoy playing good games (which is why I own all 3 systems) that are either fun, challenge me or that I just like for whatever reason.

Anyone who classifies all Wii owners as Casual gamers is an idiot plain and simple.

People. That's all the description you need.



I'm not a hardcore gamer.  I'm not a casual gamer.  I'm a gamer.

Casuals are people, which buy Wii for Wii fit, Wii sports and Wii play.
And which buy DS for games like brain training and nintendogs.

End of thread.

Pathetic Losers are people who define themselves in terms of the type of video GAME they play, what they play it on or how much time they waste playing them.

End of thread.

 

be careful..if you try to make sense with crazzyman your head will explode

I'm a hardcore casual gamer. I make sure to keep my Brain Age, my Fitness Age (from Wii Sports), and my Wii Fit Age all at 20 every morning, then I take my Nintendogs for a walk while I ride the bus to school, and then I Imagine Babies during my lunchbreak and after work I play some Wii Play with my wife, cool off by playing Pop! on the Chill Mode, and then I put Electroplankton on Audience Mode to go to sleep. And if anybody wants to call me casual I'll sick my maxed out legendary Pokemanz on you.

But seriously, as a proud member and spokesperson for the NDF, I refuse to call myself casual or hardcore ever. But I must admit, when people call themselves casual, I giggle and think it's cute, and when they call themselves hardcore I think they're 13 and have something to prove, like they have daddy issues or something else really embarrassing. I think Grampy's hardcore tiddlywinks sums it up nicely. Real "hardcore" gamers are guys like Fatal1ty, and I think we're all in agreement that he's the biggest dooshbag around.


(@scottie, "Extended Audience" is a bad idea, because people can call you "EA Gamers" for short, and that's just disgusting.)

I'll grant the name of hardcore to the PS3 and X360ers.

But I think that the Wii and DS players need a new label.

...

  Or what terms would you like to be called other than casual?

Softcore?

 

Skinemax gamers?

Gamer. Enough said.

 

Oh! Real Original! Just kidding. I was gonna say the same thing. :D

Hardcore and Casual just indicates how into games you are, or what games you play. There are hardcore gamers on wii, and theyre the ones who play SSBB, SMG, NMH, MKW, MP3 etc. (sorry for all the abbreviations. But all you hardcore people will know what Im on about )

Kids and grannies. At least that is what IGN likes to call me, a 30 year old male. Very nice people at IGN.
