Individuals who put a large amount of time into playing video games; this is what most people refer to as a "true gamer." Contrary to popular belief, hardcore gamers are not people who only play games with extreme violence and gore; hardcore gamers prefer to play games from different genres and franchises. They also feel that gameplay in a video game is the most important aspect of any game; as long as the game is fun (meaning difficulty and graphics don't matter), they will continue playing it. The complete opposite of a hardcore gamer is the "casual gamer."
Gamer 1: Welcome to the gamer's club, what do you play?
Gamer 2: I've been playing Call of Duty ever since it came out; they new one's going to be epic!
Gamer 1: Lol! Your a fucking casual, gtfo! How can you stand that shitty gameplay and those less than impressive graphics; never talk to us hardcore gamers ever again!

Dan: No way! Dude, she is totally a casual gamer. Why would be play hardcore games anyway?
Michele: Actually she does both, she's bi-gamer.

A video gamer who has become too lazy to get off his bed, couch, etc. to go play his video game console. A lazy gamer enjoys gaming, and may want to play video games, but finds it easier to watch online videos or browse social media. He may even use the excuse that he has homework, fully knowing he wont actually complete any. The gamer may subconsciously think that its too much effort to open the case, put in the disk, and or move his fingers to make the picture on the screen move.
I planned on playing my Xbox this weekend, but I was a lazy gamer and browsed the internet on my bed instead.
