Casual Gamer's are the bane of the current gaming industry. Casual Gamers prefer to play games on an inferior console rather than on a superior PC. Most Casual Gamers are fans of only Sports and racing games as anything with a fantasy or sci-fi setting is "nerdy" to them. To them gaming isn't a hobby but just something you do for fun so games should never be complicated because that would require thinking on their part and would not be fun for them.
Causual Gamers attitude towards games causes them to only buy simplistic sports and action titles. This harms the development and evolution of the industry as a whole because hartless publishers like EA, Ubi-soft and Sega will use their influence to crush new and innovative ideas and push foreward titles which will sell faster to the unwashed masses.

A Casual gamer actually said to me once "Well *I* don't like to think then *I* play games" as if not thinking some how made him better than me. Yeah that makes a WHOLE TON of sense, jackass. Not thinking is obviously making you a better person.

Get the Casual Gamer mug.(Acronym) "Big Man Online." A person who routinely boasts about their page traffic, brags about their number of online friends, attempts to win online popularity contests, and is overly concerned with any other worthless, false indication of their acceptance on the Internet. The ultimate goal of every BMO is to win a Webby Award, the definitive trophy proudly declaring to the world that your 15 minutes of fame ended half an hour ago. The average BMO attempts to add every living creature on the planet to their IM buddy list, because everybody knows the quantity of people you message with "LOL" defines your value as a human being.

Get the BMO mug.Websites owned and operated by sega freaks are often extremely awful and filled with animated gif files and size 72 fonts.

Get the awful mug.A very large and popular message board serivce. It was once very good but thanks to recent updates which restricted or deleted all the good features and a total lack of customer support of any kind this is now without a doubt the worst serive as well.
For once I agree with Djgs68 or whatever it is he is calling himself now days. Ezboard used to gave a great free service. It was so good at that time I happily upgraded to gold just because I liked it enough. However after a series of updates which added crappy features and eliminated the good ones I complained on their "Support forums" and was banned. A PAYING CUSTOMER BANNED from a CUSTOMER SUPPORT FORUM. WTF!?

Get the EZboard mug.A pattern of behavior. A person acting this way will exibit extreme cowardace when taking any hostile action towards another person. These sorts of people prefer to be annoynomous until they are discovered at which point they will suddenly pretend the reason they did such a poor job of covering their tracks was because they wanted to be found.
People on the internet often put up websites about me, twisting things I never actually said in the first place in a poor attempt to make me look bad. When I find them and send them a highly intelligent and well written email about why they are completely wrong with evidence that I never said any of the things they claim they don't have the guts to post that email and instead pretend they weren't trying to hide their site from me. This is an excellent example of Haraka at work.

Get the Haraka mug.The best thing on the home shopping network is the knife collectors show. Atleast they don't sell sega products.

Get the home shopping network mug.The term "Gamer" by itself can apply to nearly anyone who plays video games on a regular basis or even once in a long while. However, even among gamers and the definitions on this site there is a large amount of debate about who and what gamers exactly are. The best way to define the term "gamer" is not to define it at all but accept that there are in fact many types of gamers out there and there is no blanket term that can cover them all.
Casual gamers are the people who mostly own console systems and buy mostly sports and racing games. They don't like fantasy games and only enjoy sci-fi games based on movies they may have seen. This group, unfortunatly, makes up the bulk of the gaming community and the current popularity of shitty games on shitty console systems is evidence of this. Casual Gamers think that having a "life" consists entirely of getting laid and drunk on a regular basis and have very little interest in games outside of a way to pass the time without spending alot of money.
The group of people who call themselves Hardcore gamers aren't often quite as "hardcore" about gaming as they would like to think. These are the people you see complaining that games now come in fancy modes like "3D" and debating the finer points of why Final Fantasy 6 was better than Final Fantasy 7. The only people who might actually be hardcore are the people who sit an camp the firegiant hideout in evercamp for 72 hours at a time just to get some item that will help them camp better. I wouldn't rate either side of this coin as being a very pretty sight.
Finally there are the true gamers who actually treat gaming as a real HOBBY and not just a way to pass time or something to try and collect hundred upon thousands of. True Gamers just try to find an enjoy the best games out there and don't like getting ripped off because Casual gamers are pushing the industry towards a point where the only games that will be profitable are Madden and GTA. True Gamers often own high quality PC's and play PC games most often. Despite what most people might think a PC isn't hard to operate and doesn't cost too much. The people who say PC's are too expensive are often spending hundreds of dollars on console systems that can't do even half as many things as a PC can do and to make matters worse they own more than one of these stone age devices.

True Gamers: Don't pay attention to the poseurs and bums out there who just play Madden or are too busy talking about Final Fantasy 6 to play anything at all. Just continue to buy good games from good companies so our little corner of the gaming community doesn't end up with an "Out of bussiness" sign hanging on the door.
