What is a hardcore gamer?

What is a hardcore gamer? a miserable little pile of shit!

Crap, more like Mainstreamer games, talk about hardcore when you have played Attack of the Mutant Camels.

It really does feels like a bollocks badge of honour to discredit the opinions of others when talking about tastes, mostly by the HALO and COD camp.
