casual gamers make up the silent majority of computer and console game players that:
1, use pc and console games as a means of socializing or to connect with friends rather than as an achievement or to further their reputation as a skillful game player.
2, are by definition inferior in skill to any hardcore gamer.
3, do not play casual games.
4, play mainly console based games due to their ease of setup and "plug & play" capabiliy.
5, inherently feel a need to confront hardcore gamers due to their own inferior skills and the hardcore gamers inherent need to prove victorious.

Any casual gamer that successfully challenges a hardcore gamer is not a casual gamer, but a hardcore gamer in denial.
Obviousy, all gamers are bound by the desire to win at any given game, there would be no point to any game if that were not true, but the over-riding desire to connect with other individuals, be it close friends or distant aquaintances define the casual gamer.
Hardcore gamers have a generally negative, and often derogatory view of casual gamers, looked upon as the plauge of the video game industry. While hardcore gamers are in the minority of gamers they provide an invaluable resource to developers on both the hardware and software end. Without the hardcore gamers passion and dedication to the art, we would not have the quality games that are available today.
Since the purchase power of the casual gamer determines what becomes a best seller, it is understandable why the hardcore gamer has such contempt for the group.

A person who plays video games in professional matches such as in MLG tournaments. Pro gamers play hours everyday to practice and strategize. Pro gamers are very good in a particular game type but play professionally in their best game. In large pro tournaments cash is awarded and sponsors hook up with the pro gamer.

"He claims to be a professional gamer, but really he's a 30 year old fat slob who lives in his mom's basement."

A form of pseudo-gamer that only plays what is famous or popular at the time such as Bioshock, Assassins Creed, CoD:MW, CoD: WaW, CoD:MW2, CoD:BO. A "pop-gamer" is not deffined mainly by what he/she plays but by what he/she plays and a lack of knowledge or playtime with other games meaning that one who plays Black Ops yet could still tell you what Aprature Science is and what series and company made it and has played through Unreal and not just played Unreal Tourney '03/'04 and could not tell you the original name of Mario and what game he first cameo'd in.
Player 1: "Hey, want to play some CSS, I can make a quick server."
Player 2: "What is CSS?"
Player 1: "Counter Strike: Source."
Player 2: "What is Counter Strike: Source?"
*Player 1 sends link to Steam store page*
Player 2: "I only play Black Ops for 360 right now."
Player 1: "You are a total pop-gamer..."
