A gamer is a gamer no such thing as a hardcore gamer unless 1. you have no life. 2.Live with youre mother. 3. follows with number two never leave her addict or basement. 4.Get paid to be good or pro at a game that will fall out of style in a few months more or less 5.not yet mature or gone through puberty (this one summed up you are a squeaker that games to DMC sound tracks and dubstep pulling crappy park our all over the map.)
