I tried to see if I could find a thread on this, but nothing came up. Forgive me if this has been done before...

So, do you consider yourself a Casual Gamer? Maybe a Hardcore Gamer? Somewhere in between? What type of gamer do your friends or family see you as?

I would consider myself pretty hardcore, when it comes to gaming. I've owned many systems, I don't buy games based on hype or graphics alone, I have a big game collection, I play games often, I own action figures and collectibles, I read gaming mags like GI, and so on.

My mom hates that I play games. She thinks that they will rot my brains, with as much as I play them. My friends see me as an undefeatable gaming nut, because of my skills...
