There are tons of people who claim they are hardcore when it comes to gaming, but few have ever had the chance to tell us what makes them a hardcore gamer. Here is your chance to tell me just that!

IMO, those professional StarCraft players over in Korea... THAT is the mark of a TRUE hardcore gamer. If you make your living playing some game, I'd say you're hard core. Everyone else is just looking for attention, and affirmation that they aren't actually wasting their life.
What makes me a hardcore gamer is first my passion for gaming and my willingness to be late for my best friends wedding because I was almost at the end of GT4. Not sure if that is hardcore or stupid as I was the best man? It is my motivation to drive a stake in the heart of someone that I am destroying online in any sports game?especially boxing?real hardcore right?
