I like your first entry. Categorizing gamers is kind of a tricky thing to do, but I think you ended it well with the "True gamer" category--the kind of all-encompassing, general love for games people.
I'm just wondering why you named your blog Hard Core Gaming after ending with that note, and labeling yourself a True Gamer. Why not call your blog "True Gaming"?
Oh also.. I know some people that are hardcore old-school arcade game fiends. All they play is Galaga, Ms. Pac-Man, GORF, Donkey Kong, ect. And they kick ass at it. I think it's definitely possible to be labeled a "hardcore gamer" while also avoiding online play. (This is kind of what I mean when I say it's tricky to categorize gamers)
