I mean forum-going "hardcore" gamers. I don't, one of my Friends actually got Guinness book of world records.

No, in real life I don't have any 'hardcore' gamer friends, which really sucks imo. I have a couple friends at work who are casual gamers, as is my brother, but other then that I don't really know any other 'hardcore' gamers besides myself..........And for 'hardcore' gamers, I'm referring to people who collect games, play games a lot, use the forums daily, and in general have an obsession about gaming since they were 5 years old.

Most of my friends play video games, and talk about games a lot, but i'm not sure if they are "hardcore gamers". My one close friend that i mentioned is addicted I guess.

Yes, I have some in my school. They know a lot about gaming and I think some of them go to forums.

I don't think he was forum crawling but he was definitely hardcore...I have no idea where he is these days though. lol

My little brother plays more games than I do and is a much better gamer than me (GRRR!) but he doesn't go forum crazy either. I think we need to just focus on the definition of hardcore gamer to actually gaming and not posting on forums that are gaming-related.

To my knowledge, none of my friends go on forums, but a guy I work with plays his 360 and downloads new demos and stuff like that. More of a gamer than I am, but I don't think anybody would consider him "hardcore."

Yes but they're not "forum-going". They just visit gaming websites for infos.

If you're talking about gamers who can match your skill level in competitive multiplayer games, then no, I don't have any such friends in real life. I have friends who are casual gamers, but not the types who could hold their own against me in any multiplayer game.

Pretty much all my friends are gamers.. I worked at GameStop for a long time and I still keep in touch with everyone I worked with. And 3/4 of the people I know play WoW. I date gamers exclusively, too:P

None of them go on this forum though.

I have a ton of friends who play games, I would only consider about 3 of them as 'hardcore' gamers.

Well, according to bungie you have a 0.54KD ratio on ranked and 0.64KD on social lists on Halo3 (come on man, even I have better stats, and I totally utterly completely suck at Halo!!!)... if your friends can't hold their own against you.. they must be really really bad at it....

in fact we are our friends geeky friend... u__U

but I don't think going through forums and all related forum stuff is hardcore... it's just way to much free time... or like me, you're posting from the office, because you know, what else am I gonna do? work? :lol:
