[QUOTE="Stormborn, post: 3320602, member: 14041"] By your terms: hardcore (I mean, I write RPG material after all), but given some of the people I have met, the ones that make Igor from Dork Tower look tame, I would not have conisdered myself hardcore. (I dont hang out at the FLGS everyday, or at all beyond going in once a week and seeing whats new. I dont wear gamer T-shirts everyday, or even own more than one or two. I don't game all the time. I dont get in passionate arguments about games. I dont talk about my character or campaign all the time nor ever with strangers nor anyone who didnt ask.) I would say I am a gamer, neither casual nor hardcore, but then again, I think I percieve some negative conotation with the term "hardcore" for anything, equating it with "done to an excess so that it is the defining characteristic of your life or in such a way that it is detrimental to other aspects of your life" and thats not the case with me. But those of you who percieve yourself as harcore probablly dont think about it in the same way I do, and I probablly wouldnt have labled you as such myself. [/QUOTE]
