People who judge games by their plot or graphics are casual gamers, as opposed to true gamers, who would rather play a game than watch it.
People who own an xbox are casual gamers, and so are the majority of people who own playstations. Casual gamers are ruining the industry for the rest of us. I wish gaming was still just for geeks.

Get the Casual Gamermug. Similar to a mix between a hardcore gamer, indie gamer, and retro gamer. They tend to have a love for games that are retro, Japanese, indie, or just plain classics. They also love the less popular retro titles and tend to seek deeper meanings, symbolism, and plot that affects the player subconsciously. They search for and adore retro pop culture references, including movies, music, or comics in the games they play. They couldn't give less of a shit about graphics, and look more for character development and design.
They hate bro gamers, and will generally not look upon casual gamers as well, though they only truly hate casual gaming. Everything else about them fits well into punk, indie, sometimes hipster, and once in a blue moon perhaps emo. But if a scene kid is ever one of these... well that's almost impossible.
Games with grungy, punkish or even just indie soundtracks are a subject of enjoyment especially.

Punk gamers play:
No More Heroes, Scott Pilgrim, Mega Man 9 are modernish punk games.
Final Fantasy II, Mega Man 2, and Dragon Quest are examples of games that are often talked about and referenced.
Punk Gamers do NOT play:
FPS Games (unless they're retro like GoldenEye, Doom, or Quake)
Sports games
Gimmicky games (especially not these)

Get the Gamer 27mug. The moment when a person plays a videogame and becomes so hooked on it that he/she forgets the outside world and thinks that they are the character themselves. The Gamer Zone can be obtained by experienced gamers or amateurs.
I was playing Skyrim and I soon found myself in the Gamer zone. I couldn't tell the difference between fantasy and reality.
