11 signs you're no longer a hard-core gamer


You've pre-ordered GTA IV but don't mind if it doesn't turn up on launch day

Wouldn't a better sign you're not hardcore simply be "You've pre-ordered GTA IV"?

According to that list, nobody here is hardcore. 

edit: also, anyone who has fond memories of anything made by sinclair is a mental midget.

So glad I ain't hardcore.. i'm a retro gamer!

I guess I'm not hardcore anymore either.

However started this "hardcore gamer" bullshit deserves to be shot. You are either a gamer or not.

Finally, someone said it. I hate the word hardcore anyway.

You mean *exploding* barbed wire.

Hardcore?!?  Anyone who claims to be hardcore anything, most definitely is not.  Those clowns are welcome to take a long slurp of my hard core.

The first comment (you're not hardcore if you play on a console) is kinda funny and equally fitting.

I see a lot of myself in that article, but I agree... you're either a gamer or you're not.

[nodtveidt]

What a stupid article.

If you were anywhere near a "hardcore gamer" according to that list, you'd be a 1) fat piece of shit 2) have no job 3) live in the basement of your parents house, and 4) the opposite gender avoids you like the plague.
