There are two ways to classify gamers, by time and genre.
Time: The basic and easy to define archetype.
Casual: These gamers often log less than 20 hours of play time a week
Core: The bulk of gamers, the play usually between 20-30 hours a week
Hardcore: These gamers manage to log 30-40+ hours a week. I fit into this genre.
-SubCore: Gamers that would be hardcore, but are restricted on time, because of parental/girlfriend/boyfriend interference.
Lead: These are the gamers you see at the top of the leaderboards, and statistically, for most games, these people work less than 20 hours a week. for most games this is the line you don't want to cross.

Get the Gamer Archetypemug. Dude, I just spent 6 hours trying to beat the second encounter of Deep Stone Crypt in Destiny 2 and when we finally finished it there was a huge Gamer Lane on my chair.

Get the Gamer Lanemug. The default clothes to wear when you have no intention of leaving the house because you'll be spending the rest of the day playing online games. Typically, the gamer uniform consists of: underpants; t-shirt; you're unwashed; unshaved; a cup of coffee nearby; snack food.

Get the Gamer uniformmug. The nachos you make in the middle of a long gaming session. Consists of whatever cheese you have laying around (usually Kraft or Velveeta) melted over chips. Made very quickly because you need to get back to gaming.

Get the gamer wavemug. A lost gamer is someone who plays so many games so often that they lost themselves within the games. Or it can mean someone who plays WAYY too much.

Get the A lost gamermug. a condition in which a gamer longs to play a game, but upon sitting at their set up they find themselves staring at the only the screen. They look through their available games, lusting for something to engage in, but ultimately find nothing. They are stuck hopelessly fishing in the vast ocean of content, unable to make a catch. The curse of the gamer, if you will.
"I've been sifting through my games for the past thirty minutes and haven't opened a single application. Guess I'm going through some gamer's block."
"I just looked around for a new game, realized I didn't want a new game, opened up one I already have, stared at the menu for a few minutes, and closed the game. I'm back at square one. I've got a serious case of gamer's block."
