A term for describing hardcore gamers. Somewhat similar to Button Masher, however, they are pretty experienced at video games. They usually play for long periods of time, most of the time, its nonstop (hence "red thumbs"). The term works better with gamers who play on consoles such as the PS3, XBox 360, Nintendo DS or any retro console (Genesis, NES, SNES, Dreamcast, Game Boy, etc.). Gamers playing on motion-controlled consoles (Wii, iPod Touch, etc.) really aren't included in this term.
Revolved from the term Green Thumb, someone who's good with planting flowers.

The guy has been growing things since he was a little fucking kid, he doesn't have a red thumb. Not all his plants die, and none die without cause or due to neglect. He takes good enough care of his plants, and though people can at least question his sanity, maturity, and responsibility (unlike some other people), there isn't anything about him that indicates he is an irresponsible person by nature.
